Packing

So. Today is Wednesday.

On Friday, I am going down to London (ON) for my grandparents' 90th birthday shindig. This is going to involve an afternoon shmoozing with other 90-year-olds over canapes and tea. It is also going to involve a barbicue.

To pack:
Toothbrush
Makeup
Sivler mules
raspberry-swirl skirt
raspberry blouse (Yep. I havea blouse. Of all things...)
little black cardigan
lap-top (I live in hope)
nightgown
spare t-shirt

To wear (in car + to BBQ):
long, denim skirt
purple t-shirt (or similar)
cozy sweater
casual sandals


Hm.

I need to do laundry again. :-\
