I’m trying not to post a gazillion count-down posts, but I cannot believe that in just 3 little weeks I will be headed to Sudan!!

So, last night Blaise and I went and bought our very first scale.  We have never owned one because I do not ever really feel the need to weigh myself…if my clothes get tight, then I need to exercise.  That’s how that works.  Anyway, I have been pretty nervous that I won’t be able to make the 33 lb. limit of luggage on the chartered flight into Sudan.  I tend to pack heavily for normal weekends away, so for me to think of all the stuff I might need for 3 whole weeks sends me into packing frenzy! I went last week and purchased my supplies (poncho, immodium, travel soap, etc.), and it seemed like the Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods sacks were really heavy…like, maybe 7 pounds each!  Last night I laid them on the scale…4 lbs for Target and 2 lbs for Dick’s.  Wow…that’s it? I took a deep breath and realized that it might…just might all work out!

I’ll let you know.
