I headed home for thanksgiving and to say that I was excited…an understatement at best. My family is the center of my universe and to be this far from them sometimes makes me a little…lonely. So, packing for this trip was more fun than I can really put into words. Part of the excitement is picking out what to wear. I went down for 8 days and my mother likes activities. Shopping, sightseeing, cooking, baking…you name it, she’s into it. My father is retired and reclining is his activity. I say have at it…a retired army captain and then worked for another 20-30 years…you do what you want and let anyone say different. What all this means is that packing was an adventure for me. In preparation, I had to buy a suitcase.
I love the color of this and I feel that I can expand it with black, more purple or even…zebra stripes. Yes, you can see the funky side of me coming out with that statement. While I’m unsure of what exactly I should wear, I do know some of the activities that are going on. My mother has decided to turn this day into a reunion of sorts for some of the cousins on her side. There aren’t that many, but there are enough that it’s going to be a packed house. YES!
Sounds weird, but I miss my family and while they will drive me crazy, I would never trade it for anything. I see too many people who are miserable in their family and I do not want to be on that road. I love them and that is that.
I will be packing staples: jeans, casual shirts…
But what else? Maybe some leggings?
A few T-shirts? You should have seen the shiver that went down my spine. I do not do t-shirts…or sweats for that matter. I do work out, but that is the only time you see me in sweats or yoga pants. On that note, I will be taking work out gear.
Maybe I’ll bring a pair of boots. I’ll be in NC, but I know the temps will be low so boots will be okay. I also know that I’ll be bringing home some clothes, a nice little haul if you will, so there is that to consider as well. I think…I have a few ideas. Tell me what you think
I had more outfits, but they did not seem to save to my SD card…hmmm…
How was your Thanksgiving? Where did you go and what did you wear?
