Blah, Blah

Every time I go away, I always forget something.

You would think that the lists and lists of lists that I make would ensure that nothing is forgotten! I always pack the things that cannot be replaced. When traveling with the kids, it is their blankets. For me, it is my contacts and glasses.

So - last time I went away, I totally forgot all bathroom essentials (ie: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razor, etc...). The problem was that I didn't notice that they were missing until I went to take a shower. Yep, had to use the ones there. You know, the ones that have barely enough shampoo/conditioner (in the same bottle, mind you) to wash a barbie doll's hair.

THIS time I remembered all that stuff, but conveniently forgot a brush. Now you'd think that I would be easy enough just to get a brush, but again, didn't notice what I forgot until it was too late. My wonderful friend, S, said that I could borrow hers - but she only ever used a comb. Hey - one of my main motto's is "Beggars can't be choosers." Unfortunately, one morning without kids and I am the one that is up before dawn! By the time I got the comb, I was able to put a few finishing touches on my hair, but for the most part I just used my fingers! Oh, well.

My night away was wonderful and absolutely refreshing. Just what I needed, when I needed it! My cheeks actually hurt from laughing so much :-)
