I am tired of carrying my luggage.
It it no secret that I am cursed with a need to pack for EVERY POSSIBLE OCCASION (it's a family-thing, I swear!). In my suitcase you can always find outerwear for any weather situation, enough crafts to keep me busy for however long I'll be away, a myriad of first aid paraphernalia, and more- not to mention my clothes and shoes. Normally I would pack this into the trunk of my car and be on my way. But since I'm living in NYC sans car, I'm literally bearing the brunt of my stuff.
To be more specific, here are the bags I took to Minneapolis.
A carry-on rolling suitcase, a shoulder bag, and a purse. Not too bad, right?WRONG!
With a little Internet research, I realized that I dragged this stuff 4.4 miles, up 9 flights of stairs, down 14 flights of stairs, on 8 different subway trains, and through 2 different airports. Can you believe it? To say that I'm tired of schlepping this stuff around is an understatement... and yet, I have a feeling that when I pack for another trip in July, I won't remember this feeling! :)
In happier news, I got to go to Michael's while I was in MSP! (Isn't that sad? Our hotel was really close to a Michael's and a Walmart, and I was SO excited!) Here's a little something I started for the WWII veterans with some clearance yarn I found for $.99/skein.
I hope you had a WONDERFUL Memorial Day weekend- I can't wait to catch up on everyone else's blogs and fill you in on my adventures in the next few days! Happy Tuesday!
