Why pack?

We brought the "girls" - Beanie and Stoli into the city with us for the weekend. What fun! They love NY and so do we!
We get ready by putting all of our things* on the bed and then my husband surveys the situation and decides how big a bag we need to put all of our things in.
Don't forget we have the doggie food, the make-up, the hair products and equipment plus all of the clothing. How hot/cold will it be? You have to be prepared for everything.
We were both wearing JEANS for the trip on the train - best to be most comfy. We took slacks/sweaters, etc.
BUT what did we wear? The JEANS! Just like everyone else in NY - everyone is wearing JEANS! No one seems to be dressed! Everyone is in JEANS! Everyone!
And you know what? We were happy - we were comfy and it was perfect. We went to the doggie park, we walked all over with the "girls" and then we went to see CASINO ROYALE! Of course by that time the "girls" were back in the apartment they were happy to finally be resting. It takes them all week to get back to themselves.
Moral of the story - you don't have to pack all of your things* - just JEANS!!!!!!!

*how does one actually decide which of their things to take along with them? It's always so funny - we all have so much that it is hard to decide which things are are favorites!
