another triangle

I was quite busy today with errands but while I was watching the morning news and then the evening news (why do I watch the news it is always the same stuff – habit I guess) I managed to finish another Dear Jane triangle.

4th triangle on the top row starting from the left side

We have been making head way on getting ready for out trip.  You know one of the hardest things for me is clothing!!  It isn’t that I am stylish or anything like that LOL – I am a t-shirt/jeans type of person.  It is the range of seasons that we will be traveling in.  Here in Arkansas and for the first week we will be gone going up through Nebraska we will have summer weather – Nebraska will be cooler nights then here.  But when we get to Wyoming – it is time to layer.  Mornings will be cool and so will evenings.  Some day times might only be in the 50′s although more likely in the 70′s and maybe the 80′s at least for a couple hours :) at least.  Nights can drop though to the 40′s or below that.  So I need a variety of things but I can’t pack a lot – laundry must be done about every 5 -7 days or it over takes us.  I try to a take a little of each and then just wear the same stuff over and over again – gets a little tiring but not enough room to pack a lot!!

I generally start to pack and then run out of room and have to go back through the stacks and say ok – I can do without two of these pair of jeans – or I can leave some of these shirts at home :)   you get the picture – It will take me 2 days to get clothes figured out and then I will still realize after we left that I could have left more of it at home LOL  I have to keep reminding myself that I tend to do laundry often so I really do not need a lot – when on the road – there just isn’t room to store a lot of dirty clothes and also it is a small camper and do not want to stink the place up!!

I will get it figured out – it is just going to take me awhile :)
