I hate when I know that I'm going to have a busy day that my stoopid eyelids will pop right open at dark oclock and refuse to close until I'm dragging ass late that night. But here I am, awake hours before any store will be open (including the coffee store).
I did learn something about packing a suitcase that I can share with you all. Shoes take up a lot of space.
I know, not earth shattering news. I'll bet some of you already know that. But it became a problem for me last night. Miss Smarty Pants here decided that she was going to avoid the whole checked in luggage issue by taking a carry on and her new big purse. The problem I had then was trying to pare down what I'm bringing to actually fit in said carry on.
Damn it! I need every piece of clothing I own to fit in a very small suitcase! I finally settled for black and brown sandals, black heels, flip flops and tennies. If I need more shoes I'll have to buy them. Then I put some other clothes in there. I'm going to need to stop at a drug store when I land for those liquid toiletries you can bring with you anymore .... and perhaps something for muscle aches that I'm gonna get hauling this thing around.
I hope I don't hurt my back strong arming that sucker into the overhead compartment. Better yet, I hope no one gets hurt when I take it back out! If ever I'm in a street fight I hope I have that loaded carry on with me. It's better than a pair of brass knuckles.
Now, it's only a matter of time before Starbucks opens and I can get that cup of coffee that I need.
