[cko] hi kathy!
[cko] i'm packing and blue is mocking me
[blue sunflower] mock mock mock
[blue sunflower] it's what i do
[kathyk] for what?
[kathyk] why is she picking on you?
[cko] i don't know
[cko] she thinks i'm not bringing enough outfits
[cko] so now i have this gargantuan stack of clothes
[cko] all i can say is, i hope wearing black is not out of fashion
[cko] or im gonna stick out like a sore thumb
[blue sunflower] she's whining because she's only bringing six outfits, and has chosen too many and has to winnow down
[blue sunflower] for a MONTH
[kathyk] you will have your own washer and dryer right?
[cko] yeah
blue sunflower smacks you both
[blue sunflower] 6 outfits! 1 month!
[blue sunflower] the equation does not match!
[cko] blue i am not the fashion plate that you are
[blue sunflower] there are at least 7 days in a week!
[blue sunflower] at least bring more underwear
[blue sunflower] and socks
[cko] well yeah underwear
[cko] i'm not bringing any socks!
[blue sunflower] SOCKS
[cko] i'm not wearing something different every day of the week?
[blue sunflower] YOU NEED SOCKS
[cko] why?
[cko] i'm wearing sandals
[blue sunflower] i dunno, it just sounds good
[cko] and if it rains ahahahahha
[kathyk] but if you are doing laundry you don't need to bring everything you own i'd bring ten outfits in case you go somewhere formal ck black in summer you'll roast
[cko] hah good summary kathy
[cko] i'm saving THAT advice
[blue sunflower] 10 at least doesn't make you look like a goth who never changes
[kathyk] you dont want to pay a ton in baggage fees either
[cko] true, i'm only taking one roller bag
[cko] i sent some stuff fed ex too
[cko] one large box
[cko] mostly giveaways for party favors/gifts
[cko] plus two pairs of shoes
[blue sunflower] TWO
[kathyk] take lighter clothing it will break 80 someday
[blue sunflower] make sure to bring those carryon
[blue sunflower] when i moved to dc they stole my bag that had all my underwear and shoes
[cko] oh i didn't think of that blue
[blue sunflower] so i only had my pair of heels to walk around in
[blue sunflower] always put at least one pair in your bag
[blue sunflower] esp if something happens and you have to do an overnight
[blue sunflower] like if your flight is canceled
[cko] oh gosh
[cko] now your prediction will come true and i won't sleep
[blue sunflower] tylenol pm!
[kathyk] blue i wear one pair of sneakers all the time put a change of clothes in your carryon too
[blue sunflower] kathy - ck thinks she'll actually sleep tonight, esp since she's going to bed after 1am
[blue sunflower] i just laughed
