Two Days to L.A.

OK, I’ve got 2 days until I fly out to California (Los Angeles to be specific, actually Burbank, you know, close to Hollywood!)

My purpose? To film 3 episodes for Uncommon Threads. I am learning a lot about myself while I’m packing. Here is my List:

  1. I own a ton of black shoes.
  2. I dress in such drab colors that I could be a funeral director’s secretary.
  3. All the zippers on my suitcase are broken.
  4. I don’t understand the term “pack light”. Not in my dictionary.
  5. I will not fit a lot of yarn in a small space, even if I sit on it.
  6. Bungee cords work wonders.
  7. No sharp objects on the plane. Thank goodness I’ve got a crochet gig in LA, VS. a knitting gig. Knitting Needles are still viewed as weapons by most major airlines. Hummm, Grandma Terrorist, and as I type that I'm added to the “Monitor List” at the FBI.
  8. I’d like to hire someone to scrub my kitchen floor (hey wait a minute, that has nothing to do with packing, this post or the show)

I also learned that I have Teflon grey hair (actually like 5 strands of Teflon grey hair) So I might be forced to use a black magic-marker on the few rebel strands, cuz hair dye doesn’t touch it. This is funny b ecause years ago I used “White-Out” to touch up a pair of scuffed white go-go boots, so why can’t I use a black magic-marker on my grey hair, it does the same (temporary) thing?

I rest my case, a girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do and I've got 2 days to L.A.

too funny! but it's true packing can be such a hassle!

I'd better start mine, I'm spending two days in Paris and I've got only 10 days left to organize my packing :o)

Have a nice stay in LA!

Ha! I had the same problems prepping for mine... are all my shoes and shirts black? Why can't I wear a Craftster shirt with a knitting Jolly Roger on it? WHY WON'T MY HAIR BEHAVE? Should I have made Knitgrrl shirts? (etc etc etc). Add to it: I was on the road taking photos for my spinning book when this all went down, so I was limited to what I was able to cram in my suitcase for a full month of traveling!

:) you'll be fine -- Jane the wardrobe goddess will hook you up!
