PS: I'm kind of tempted to zip the bag closed with both of them in there, thunderdome style. Don't worry, I won't, but can you imagine?
Heading off to a last-minute trip this Labor Day weekend. I was going to update with an overhead shot of my bag, but the kitties had other plans. If only we could take these two troublemakers with us!

Just a few more phone snapshots from last weekend in Richmond: the VMFA, the front of our townhome-hotel, and the view from inside The Roosevelt where we watched the rain come down in sheets.
It was our third time visiting Richmond this year. This time we met up with Sly's parents for a late birthday/mother's/father's day celebration. We stayed in turn-of-the-century-townhomes-now-turned-historic-hotel, drank lots of coffee, visited many parks and museums, and ate a lot. A typical family outing for us. I really enjoyed the white house of the confederacy where an extremely animated and enthusiastic tour guide had us hanging off his every word.
When the rain finally stopped, we had a chance to walk around the Hollywood cemetery, which I found beautifully melancholy. Lots of famous people were buried there, including Jefferson Davis and James Monroe. Afterward, we took a quick driving tour of Richmond, hitting up the Virginia State Capitol and St. John's church, before settling in for dinner in Churchill at the Roosevelt. It rained like crazy during dinner, but inside the gloomy-romantic Roosevelt we were warm and dry, enjoying our Coca Cola cake. We are headed to Richmond tomorrow to meet up with my Korean parents and for once I decided to pack the night before rather than scramble the day of. I'm really OCD when it comes to packing. I like to drive myself crazy thinking of all the mathematical day/night combinations of outfits that can be created with the fewest number of items. The hardest part for me is always figuring out what shoes to bring. When I told my friend this, she laughed and said, "why don't you just bring/wear all black?" Then I asked Sly how he packed for a trip and he said, "I just grab whatever is clean." This bewildered me.
The difference between boys and girls, I guess. Or maybe the difference between sane and slightly crazy. Am I the only one that packs like this? More inspiration: This site is pretty great. Because doesn't everyone have a set of red cafeteria trays lying around?
Last night's homemade tv dinner included salisbury steak (made with turkey burgers), salad with tomatoes from our garden, organic (frozen) corn, and organic cauliflower mash. I don't know what is so appealing about putting food in tiny little compartments, but I've been pretty obsessed with the idea even as a kid (airline food, bentos, cafeteria trays). Maybe this will be a new Tuesday tradition? |
