I’m heading off to a meeting… I can’t wait to catch up on everything I missed here today! It’s gonna be some fun reading!!! 
Hi everybody!! Real life getting in the way of lining, or foruming – uhh, can I still call foruming lining? Sounds nicer. 
Anyway, packing all day, weighing checked bags with my ebags handheld scale, woo hoo!
In a few hours returning to home after a month at my inlaws. We all survived. Only 23 hrs of travel til I am back in my own time zone!!

So - is anyone else having a problem loading their profile picture? My “A” is boring 
Pink and Sparkly are my two favorite colors!
It has never occurred to me weigh luggage. Another genius tip from liners.
I had to make mine smaller - I’m not sure what the cut-off is for size but you can try that @ATbeliever. Once I resized, it loaded fine!
I’m here! I’m here! I made it @Beachmom01!!! Whew! What a day! We closed on the house we sold and we are officially free of the beast!!! Go ahead, friends…raise the roof. I’ll give you a moment.
And I took the boys to get tacos and snow cones and I brought some back for everybody!!! Here ya go…just pass to your left, there are plenty for everyone!!!

Here’s how we weigh our luggage:
Step 1) stand on the bathroom scale.
Step 2) make mental note of that number.
Step 3) stand on the bathroom scale with a packed suitcase in your arms.
Step 4) make mental note of that number.
Step 5) subtract first number from second number which equals suitcase weight.
Ta Dah!

Yay @emmyannttu! Congrats on the sale of the beast! 
- okay, that’s kind of a cuddly beast but you get the drift! Raising the roof! Whoot whoot! 
And okay, that’s a rooster not a roof (where is @ThatDisneyGuy_outer1?? These emoticons aren’t cooperating!!) I’m throwing in a camel cause I’m good at that one! 
Yay! Thanks for the tacos and snow cones 
and 
Oh, close enough!

we tried that on our last trip but couldn’t hold up the suitcase. Then we decided to move some stuff into another bag
Well, it looks like I made it to the forum! I finally had a little time to sit down and look at it. Here’s to seeing if I can actually make this post!!

A month with your in-laws? I might survive but they wouldn’t. 
I am amazed

You are amazing @B_squared!!! A MONTH?!?! Wow! I can tolerate my in-laws for approximately 12 hours that are, preferably, broken down into smaller chunks. There are only so many insults, insinuating comments, and accusations of infidelity that I can handle in any given amount of time.
