The Schlepping of Sarah

My bff, Mary, gave me these bright colored luggage tags that say "Schlep" really big on them.  Yeah, yeah.  I admit it.  I brought too much shit.  And I actually realized it as I was running out the door on the way to the airport almost 2 weeks ago.  You should have seen me - a crazy woman - tossing things out left and right into a laundry basket.  Told my Mom to just put it all in "my old bedroom".  The darn suitcase weighed almost 48lbs. and I hadn't even gotten to buy any souvenirs!!  My backpack was full to the max as well.  Here we are 2 weeks later and I have a package to ship back to my Mom with a pair of jeans (the white jeans I HAD to bring) and some tops (dry clean only tops).  What the hell was I thinking???  White stuff just gets dirty and I want to shop!  But I have no room to fit anything....  Starting to simplify.  Ok, I will admit I caved and bought a flat iron a few days ago.  Haven't used it yet, as I'm assuming it will do no good in this humidity, but I am sending back a few tops which should cover the weight of the iron, right?  Also just realizing that I just want to be comfortable.  I can still look cute in cotten dresses... All I want right now are short shorts and loose tank tops and thin cotton dresses..  So that is what I'm on the hunt for.  Anything to keep me a little less hot.  The wife beater style tank tops are not cutting it.  And I really don't want to do laundry every 3 days since that is the only number of shorts I brought.  I'm realizing that I really don't need all that much stuff.  Weird, I know.  Cool and casual.  That's my new style.  I'm tired of packing and unpacking and rummaging through the 2500 pockets in my purse and backpack.  I just want to dump it all in one bag at this point.  I may end up ditching the suitcase and buying a backpack.  My arms are getting stronger by the minute, though.  :)

Oh and btw, I googled how to spell check and it told me to use the spell check button on my toolbar.  I don't have one of those.  So we are all just going to have to deal...Sorry!

Off to sail the Whitsunday Islands for 2 days/nights.  Will have a report when I return, as long as I don't get lost out at sea..  A joke, Mom!  :)  Mwa!
