the miracle of the packing list

so i'm packing my suitcase for work and then for my trip to scotland and then back to work. tuesday morning i leave for LA for a day of work. i work wednesday morning and then pop back to the hotel - change (though stay the same) - and then pop down to LAX and i'm off on a jet plane! my return is similar. i leave scotland monday morning - then london - then the long haul to LA arriving monday night. tuesday morning back into the office. wednesday - the office and then a 6pm flight home. and tonight i'm staying with a friend in san francisco as my flight is at 9am tomorrow and i don't want to pay for 2 weeks of parking. she's going to keep my car safe and drop me off and pick me up! sweet! she's an uber-friend.
so anyway - the miracle packing list. i am using a suitcase i have been known to fill to 50 pounds. i am trying not to do that before i get there! so i've got a handful of shirts, etc. packed. just enough if i do laundry while i'm there. :)
i actually created a list of the things i would need - which reminds me, i need to pack my toilet bag. i have everything ready to go - i just need to put it in the suitcase.
fun.
i'm just so impressed - the suitcase is barely half-full! woot.
i guess all of the traveling over the last few weeks has helped me perfect my packing!
actually, i need to pack the cat up too. he's heading off to kitty camp while i'm gone. actually he'll be staying with my friend cat for a few days and then my friend maggie when she gets back.

off to pack the cat's stuff.

leaving on a jet plane

i'm leaving on a jet plane - don't know when i'll be back again.

i leave this week for LA and then off to Scotland. VERY excited.

if there is one thing that i've discovered over the last few weeks is that life is too short. i've heard too many stories and heard about too many bad things to not enjoy life.

i have 2 things in my life i really wish i did and i have every intention about doing something about them when i can.

watch out!

Evil characters..

Random: Someone likened me to an anti-christ yesterday and i've decided that if i'm going to be evil - like dick cheney - i want to be Darth Vader. Thoughts? Recommendations? other than the fact i'm not really evil. well, not truly evil anyway. i'm more annoying than evil.
though i do put garlic in my mac n'cheese. but is that evil or just that i like creating work?
topic: is optimist girl evil or just a misunderstood comedic genius??
