Packed

OMG, I think I'm packed... I mean, not packed packed like closed and zipped and snapped and TSA-Approved-Locked.... but I've worked on my list for months to ensure I take everything I'll need, and nothing I won't... and I've taken just enough to get by 3-4 days, when I will need to do a little laundry... and I've laid out my clothes all over the bed, ensuring (like in a 1970s magazine spread) I can mix and match for a full month while not getting bored (or boring!) and keeping at the front of my mind that I'd like to convey a little je ne sais quoi (and would like [my clothes at least] to not scream americana -- therefore I have to leave my bright white Adidas walking shoes and my Carolina Panthers shirt [like I actually own these things] at home).

I'm feeling pretty confident about my pack-job!
