packing to go HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

here's an insider behind the scenes look at my thought process while packing to go home for a mere 10-12 days.

home for me, is a thirty minute drive away.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""


#1 on the list, LAUNDRY. i hate having to pay a dollar to wash my clothes. let alone my sheets. and my sweaty yoga clothes.

#2 i should probably bring all the books i've ever wanted to read, all the books i half-read for school to re-read them, all the books that might keep me busy on a slow lazy day, and all the spiritually renewing books that i own to re-read and enhance my soul.

#3 my journal, of course, PLUS a blank one for when i run out of room

#4 baking supplies, for all the times that i bake, and for all the times that my own mother doesnt have flour and sugar, which is NEVER

#5 every photography related item i own. negative sleeves? totally might need them. every polaroid camera i own? yes. 20 gigs of CF cards? totally. all my lenses? you never know what shot we might need on christmas morning. WHEW.

#6 all my past client's contracts and current clients contracts and blank contracts in case i get any new clients

#7 face mask stuff for a personal spa day, along with multiple kinds of lotions, along with eye makeup remover and cotton pads, and an extra razor

#8 a minimum of 3 hair products. who knows if i'll be in a mood for SPRAY DIRT, COCKY, or TOTALLY TWISTED?

#9 four pairs of shoes. the only four pairs i own. and two of them i never wear because they give me blisters... but hey. you never know what i might want to wear to the christmas eve service

#10 every craft item possible, for all the crafts that i might make people for christmas

#11 all of my art that i've made this semester

#12 clothes that i'd like to mend. i'll totally have the time.

#13 every color of embroidery floss---- to do the mending with

#14 all of my old journals in case i want to reminisce and process through everything i've ever learned in life

#15 the groceries that i bought the day before i left

#16 all of my plants, oh wait!

#17 tea, coffee, french press, peets blend 101, another french press, and the pretty coffee scoop, and caramel, and cinnamon, and the milk frother

#18 all of my jackets. all of my sweaters. all of my sweatshirts. BRRRRRR it sure gets cold in southern california. man alive.

#19 all of my stationary, for all the letters i might write

#20 everything financial in case i decide to do my banking.






and then i forgot,
my allergy medicine,
which is bad because i already had a run-in with cashews the other day and almost died.


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
