49.6 pounds!
If I weren't brain dead (completely!), then I'd tell you about
1. My bladder turned kidney infection and how I'm waiting for a new antibiotic prescription to be filled. I've NEVER had a bladder infection before! Owww! (MOSTLY, I'm better. Just some lower back pain at the moment, so that's good!)
2. My orange hair (and the 5 hours last Thursday and the 3 hours yesterday that I spent in the salon!)
(This is when it's waaay better!)
3. My TV and how it blew last night while I was packing and how the guy who is house-sitting for me was SO excited that I have cable and pay-per-view, etc!
4. Or, maybe I'd tell about my 3 trips to the dry cleaners to pick up my clothes and how on my third attempt to fetch my favorite blouse, they admitted they couldn't find it.
5. Or, I might even bore you with the fact that while I was making xerox copies of the instructional materials that I need for Saturday (my first day of teaching!) that my printer ran out of the ONE cartridge that I did not have a replacement for!
But, if I told you about all that, you might think I'm overly dramatic and all, and I wouldn't want you to think that -- even though it's TOTALLY true! ;-0
My friend, Julie, showed up at 8 pm and talked me down from the ledge! It's always good to have a cheerleader!
My flight leaves at midnight tonight, and I will arrive in Seoul on Friday morning at 4:30 am. They are 16 hours ahead of me and Cheri, 14 hours ahead of Blognut and 13 hours of Diane who lives in Pigsnuckle. (Just so you know when you're missing me!)
I will LOSE Thursday and NEVER get it back! Now, that's just weird. I'm glad it's not my birthday!
Bless your little heart!! I feel for you on the hair thing (see my blog today) and all the other stuff, too, but YAY YOU for coming in under 50lbs!! That over-limit fee just chaps my butt.
Travel safely, darlin' and have the MOST excellent time! Blog as often as you can... you know we'll be here just waiting to hear from you!!
Take care and BE SAFE!!!! XOXOXO

You are friggin' awesome! 49.6 pounds?! You have a gift, woman. A gift.
However, you should be prepared to ship home anything you may buy over there unless it weights only .4 pounds.
And one other thing? I'm going to miss you. Have a great time spreading knowledge and maybe gaining some, too.
Travel safely - XO and an extra hug or two.

Have an awesome trip! Woo Hoo!

I have my own orange hair stories. In fact, my husband coined a special term "blorange" to describe the color my hair turned one time after my home dye job.
Good job packing. True genius!
Have a great time in Seoul! Hope you have many great adventures. I'm looking forward to reading about them.

Being a packer like that, maybe they can use you in Green Bay! And perhaps not.
Now that you've survived packing, I hope you survive the trip, and enjoy the adventure in Korea.
Blessings.

WAIT! Don't leave yet! Too late. But isn't that television pretty darn new?
I'm glad the kidneys, hair, and packing got under control.
Bon Voyage, dear friend.
XOXOXO

the international date line thing is mad isn't it? you might get two thursdays on the way back, or maybe an extra tuesday. when i went round the world i lost the day for ever which i could never get my head round. but maybe it would have been a bad day so probably just as well...
hope you have a great trip and come back full of beans.

how in the world did you keep it to 49 lbs???! that is truly a gift you have sisa girl! ;)
Have so much fun over there...wayyyyy over there. I hope your back feels better, bladder/kidney infections suck big time.
I think I'd rather lose my birthday day!!!

Is it so bad to lose Thursday and just get to Friday? Well, maybe I'd rather lose Monday...
Congrats on the packing and the GOING. Your trails in doing so sound a bit familiar... are you a procrastinator, too?
