crunch time baby.

cleaning, wrapping, shopping, tanning, packing, exercising, working, scrapping. toooo much! i think i need a vacation. crap, that could be what is causing my stress! ah, it will be worth it. and i only have 3 more work days left. so glad i took friday off! {maybe i can finally find time to do bills!} so glad i decided not to mess with the tree. so glad that we rocked our christmas shopping and are pretty much done.
my big problem with vacations...packing. i suck at it. i always pack so much. because you just never know what you are going to need or what mood you are going to be in and dress accordingly...know what i mean? gosh, i'm such a girl. my girlfriend, christy, she's a packing champ. when we took a road trip out west in college, she had less luggage than the boys. me, i had the biggest freakin suitcase! was the joke of the trip. you should see the bag i took to hawaii...
so i've been scouring the web trying to find packing tips for cruises. i still don't think that is going to help me with my problem!!
i decided to share my silly, giant luggage pictures with you guys. maybe i should have a contest and see if anyone could guess how much that sucker weighed...i had to buy another bag to come home! gosh, did i just admit that...outloud!? so mine is the giant blue one. nick and i shared the luggage bag. and the two dinky suitcases next to the monstrous blue one...nick's. how do men pack like that?! and to think one was his carry on! okay the blue duffel was my carry on but i think my suitcase could totally beat his suitcase up in a fight. ;)
