Am I the only one totally grossed out by the thought of the filthy soles of my shoes walking all over my clothes? Or the plastic hotel bags that normal people use to stash their unclean 'roos? And I really don't like the thought of the clean ones strewn about on a luggage carousel, for that matter. Happy to see I'm not alone. Also, if you're not writing a packing list, ya ain't thinking. <br />Enjoy your weekend!meghttp://makeitsnappy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-32406090553881027492012-10-18T20:41:20.566-07:002012-10-18T20:41:20.566-07:00Dude, girls weekend is code for pajamas and hot dr...Dude, girls weekend is code for pajamas and hot dresses. ANd maybe bikinis if you are heading to a tropical destination. In other words, pjs COUNT.<br /><br />I'm going away this weekend and in my nerdy glory was just thinking how I needed to just own up to my anal nerdiness and make a spreadsheet like this very one (I already have one for car camping trips and one for backpacking trips). You've saved me an hour and for that, I salute you with my scotch. Which I drink neat, thankyouverymuch.<br /><br />I'm actually a 33 yr old woman, but given that I a) drink my scotch neat and b) have a cask at the Maker's Mark distillery with my name on it (I'm a whiskey ambassador, spreading the good word), you'd never know it.Katiehttp://cookiesandcrafts.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-76700273253331334882012-10-18T17:16:19.372-07:002012-10-18T17:16:19.372-07:00My parents didn't have a liquor cabinet.

Which is funny, because they drink a little now, and when they come to my house, they request that I make them special cocktails.<br /><br />I'm not sure if that makes me more or less cool than them. But I for sure did not acquire my taste for Sidecars and G&Ts from them.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-391328352966027602012-10-18T17:13:17.738-07:002012-10-18T17:13:17.738-07:00For you, Fu?

As long as I don't forget the major things it's not a total loss.
