PACKING...YUCK

Packing might be the worst thing in the world. The airline wanted to charge $30.00 a bag IN EACH DIRECTION, on a $18.00 flight. What's wrong with this picture???
All of our luggage is heavy without anything in it, and travelling alone I need something I can lift. So off we went to Macy's where they were almost paying you to take it out of the store...LOL. I got 2 pieces, small rolling duffle and a large tote. Both of these items, together, are lighter than any one piece in the closet. All in all I paid $100.oo plus tax for $500.00 worth.
Now the fun part...Although I live in Florida, I don't have a bathing suit.
I tried on many, either they were too long, too short, too tight or too big, and all the same size. I walked away with nada. Found a 10 year old suit from when I lived on the beach, a little "snug" (much nicer than tight) but it will do. So now I am ready for the trip. Whatever I don't have I can do without.

Well, it seems my travelling is not done for the summer. I got the "grandmother" call. I leave Wednesday for Columbia, SC. Jackie, Rebecca and I will be going to the beach, staying at a hotel and having manicures and pedicures. These are Rebecca's requests. What's a grandmother to do...LOL
The weather in sunny South Florida has been anything but, rain and thunder every day. Bex (Rebecca's nick name) said it is beautiful in SC.

Here it is 3:10 in the afternoon and all I accomplished was going to a Weight Watchers meeting. Let's hear it for 2 pounds down. Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!!

I am now going to finish a Basketcase block that I started in New York. NOT getting up until I finish, yah right . Will post when I am done.

There really is nothing else to do today, it's has been raining all day. We really need it down here, Okeechobee is way down.
