Packing for One?
I'm a bit at a loss. How do I only pack for one person? Not sure I know how. Before family vacations, I have lists upon lists reminding me what I need to be sure to pack for everyone.
Two days before I leave, and I have nothing packed. I haven't even made sure my clothes are washed and ready.
You'd think this would be easy, but it isn't. I always pack for me last when packing up the family. I'm used to only havinh about 30 minutes to figure out what I'm bringing for me. I'm used to being an afterthought. Planning for myself just feels..wrong.
Also, I'm going to the COLD. I don't know how to pack for the COLD. Scarves, hats, gloves, sure..I pick those up from my sister tomorrow. But should I buy some long underwear? Should I take lots of extra socks? Sweaters? How many layers should be enough to keep me warm? I, honestly, do not know the answers to these. So, I'm open to any suggestions!
According to forecasts..there will be a couple days while I'm in Ohio, when the temperatures won't reach double digits. Just how cold does that feel anyway?

I know how you are feeling. Jed and I are going to Utah and I have no clue what to expect and what to bring. We leave early Weds. morning, I'm sure I'll be packed by tonight right????
There is no preparing for single digit weather. It will feel funny when 32 feels nice. Definitely be ready to have a hard time breathing without a scarf in your face, it definitely cuts down the sharpness of the cold.
Good luck. We haven't been quite that cold here, but we get cold. Let's just say your cold az weather felt nice and I barely used my jacket. I'm still surprised how often it's in teh 30's or 40's here and I don't think it's that cold. I hope you figure it out.
Packing for 1... just be sure that you don't take the only tootpaste or other important items (contact solution also a must for us). That's the hardest part for when Jeff isn't staying on vacation or going somewhere without us :)
Oh! Your back to blogging! I have MISSED you!

You will not believe how easy it is to make, and it is FANTASTIC.
So, I'm a little late to tell you how to pack for the cold. How was it?
