Today I went with a friend (thanks Susan!) to pick up my medicine from FAME to pack. FAME collected the meds, rotated stock, and sorted what they need most in our clinics and spread everything out to 35 pounds boxes for each of us. Apparently they take everything out of the packages...not sure if it is to save space in shiping or trash over there or what - but here is my 35 pound box to pack:
My OCD kicked in like you wouldn't believe.....I think I even started twitching! But no worries! Tonight after the auction with Daddy I pulled out my suitcase and began to pack:
 |
| Toothbrushes, Cough drops, Band Aids and Benedryl tablets |
And I packed some more:
 |
| Everything else...and then some! |
The medicine plus my suitcase came to about 40 something pounds....
So I added the suckers and Smarties - but I had to take the smarties out - looks like the are going in my other luggage...somehow!
I borrowed the OLD scale from Schmidt - Looks like I am a hair over:
 |
| 50 ish.... |
I was thinking that on Monday when everything is packed (of course everything will be packed by Monday! Right???) - I'd go ahead and take a run to the airport and just test it on their scales. Just to make sure. If this bag is too heavy I'll just put a small bag of suckers (probably with the smarties) in my carryon.
So now I have to get everything else into my bigger suitcase. All the toys that were collected will go into my bigger suitcase. And my dad has been collecting crayons/markers/paintbrushes and chalk to send as well! And some beanie babies. I'm hoping Lori will be packing a 3rd suitcase - if so that'll help a lot! If my bag is over it'll be $150.00 - a 3rd bag is $200.00. I would like to help her pay for a 3rd bag if she is going to take one! I think I'll probably end up putting my clothes in my carryon - yes, with my smarties! =)
