Call Me The Bag Lady
We were lucky to hold off with the snow until the 1st of December. Mother Nature is making up for lost time though and gifting us with a winter storm.
I have lived in ND most of my life (except for brief stints in Minnesota), but I'll never get used to this first initial slap in the face.
It takes me a while to learn how to drive on snow and ice, and to allow extra time to get from point A to point B. It takes longer to dress (or undress) the layers of clothing I now find myself forced to wear just to go outside for even a brief minute.
Because I teach yoga, I need to be available for those classes. So every morning, I wake up and flip the channel to find the weather forecasts, which ultimately determine how many bags I'm going to pack for the day.
Today it wasn't looking so good soooooo....this is what I packed:
1 suitcase with clothing for 2 days
1 yoga bag with clothing for 3 nights of classes (ok, one night is actually an "optional" outfit in case I wasn't 'feelin' something!)
1 gym bag with clothing for Friday night (in case I couldn't get home on Thursday night - I have gym/trainer on Friday night)
1 food bag - since it's crappy out and I only get 1/2 hr for lunch, I hate to go anywhere in the winter, so I packed a bag of food (soup, crackers, yogurt, oranges, pickles) to have on hand at the office.
1 purse.
Soooo by the time I packed up this morning, I felt like a bonafide bag lady!
