Serendipity Smurf

You'd never know it because I'm so stinkin' disorganized all the time, but I'm a compulsive list-maker. The more important the subject, the bigger the lists, right? I literally - I am not exaggerating this - had a 3 ring binder with almost 75 pages of lists in it for my wedding. I had twice that when I went to the hospital to have Zion. It's ridiculous.

So my checklist binge has started for our CHA trip, and I have all these wacky lists laying around here, and I'm going to a site I love that generates packing checklists for you. You input your information and it gives you a customized list on what you should pack, right?

So it's asking me questions like, "will it rain?" or "will you be hiking?" or "what is the temperature range where you're going?" And then I get to, "choose the size of your luggage."

Here are my options.

- none
- small
- normal
- large

and..

- I've hired sherpas.

SHERPAS?!?

ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?!? Here's the definition of a sherpa, for those of you who haven't dreamed about a trip to the Potala Palace:

"a member of a people of Tibetan stock living in the Nepalese Himalayas, who often serve as porters on mountain-climbing expeditions."

ARE TRIPS TO THE HIMALAYAS COMMON ENOUGH THAT THIS IS A NECESSARY OPTION ON A PACKING CHECKLIST?

Or can you get them to carry your luggage to the airport?!?

CAN I FIND ONE THAT WILL FOLLOW ME AROUND CHICAGO?!?

I. am. cracking. myself. up.

For real.

You just wait till I get my hair dyed. That's when the fun really begins.
