This is my first post, and my new assistant Janelle is helping me pack. Thank God, this is the worst part of any trip, so it’s all up from here….way WAY up. She is also instructing me on how to blog, which should only take her five minutes to teach me and me 24 hours to remember. I’d rather be writing than packing, though I should get back to packing. Generally, I always overpack. Janelle said I only need 3 pair of pants. WHATS WITH THAT? In fact, I’m going to post a picture just to practice. However, remember that this is a packing photo and not a hoarder’s dining room.
