Pack Rat meet Johnny Appleseed!

This will be short because a) i have packing and organizing still to do before we leave at 5:30 am tomorrow....did you catch that ...tomorrow! b) i just recently blogged (who came up with that word anyways?! BLOG? makes me think of Blob - which leads me to picture the scary green monster on Ghost Busters.)


Anways...i was packing yesterday...packing today...packing tonight -and actually got to the point of actually putting suitcases in the pickup! I'd been working pretty steadily and was pleased with my progress and thinking that this might not be too stressful of a night.

Dad came out - opened the truck door - threw in 2 magazines - and walked away. Almost as if to say 'well...i'm ready!' 50 hours on the road and he has 2 magazines?! Well, i have DVD's and a car charger and a laptop (if only it was behaving itself!)

This all wouldn't have been nearly as bad if i hadn't found out that his 'luggage' for the trip consists of a 'carry on'. i think this is mainly due to the fact that the airline he's using to fly home charges $25 for each checked bag...so he just has a carry on!



So there's me...with a horse trailer, tack room, pickup bed, tool box and back seat full of stuff - and him with a napsack! :-) Jonney Appleseed meet the Pack Rat!
