Packing the Bags

I finally finished fully packing the suitcases. The whole time I thought I was being too frugal. The amount of clothes I had just thrown in the suitcases looked like I could fit them into one.
But I didn't trust my judgment. So I started packing, Strating with my jeans and pants and I was shocked at how much room they took up. I thought, "oh, oh. Wut if this is TOO MUCH clothing?" I started worrying. I continued packing, alternating clothing with each suitcase trying to get as close to the same weight as possible. I quickly finished and while they seemed full-ish the suitcases wern't packed. And after all that, I realized I forgot to line all the stuff in plastic. Sigh I don't want to take all the clothes out.

I brought one into the bathroom to weigh and it said 22lbs! I was shocked, I thought for sure it was wronged. I weighed myself and the suitcase and it came to about 25lbs. Unbelieveable! I think it weighs more than my carry on (that could be because of the books, hehe) I didn't wight the other one. But it feel the same weight. I'm so surprised.
My sister had a problem with her suitcase weight last summer. What the hell could she have had in it for a week that I don't have for 4+ months? LoL

I need to make another list and make sure I have EVERYTHING I need. If I still have room, you know what that means...SHOES!!!! Yay! and room to bring back stuff from SHOPPING! LoL.

Well I'm trying to figure out an eletrical problem before I go to Oz. I hope I figure it out beforeI leave
