Vacation or Bust

I am packing for a weeklong trip to the lake with some friends (and my wonderful boyfriend, to whom I shall henceforth refer as "Mad Mike"). Obviously, I'm pretty excited about this.

What I am NOT excited about is packing.

I dislike packing for the following reasons:
1. I can't finish packing my toiletries until the last minute (I mean, hello - toothbrush?), nor can I pack my Bible study stuff until the last available morning, and it upsets me that I can't pack them ahead of time and be done with it. I mean, I COULD pack them early, but then I would be off schedule and my teeth would be grotesque.
2. It makes my room messy.
3. I can never fit everything I want to bring into my suitcase. "Pack light?" What does that mean?

... that being said, I'm sure I'll survive somehow, though Mad Mike will probably make fun of me for packing over 50 pounds of luggage. Quite honestly, I'd make fun of someone who packed that much for a week-long trip, so I don't hold it against him.

Frankie will understand. Probably. Maybe.

I feel your pain. At least you are not trying to pack three days early because you will be dog-sitting until half an hour before you leave for your week-long trip!

I. Can't. Wait. To. See. You. Just thought I'd mention that :D
