How a Geek Girl Packs a Suitcase  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl 3 years ago

Yesterday when I picked up my airline ticket for my trip, I also picked up a new suitcase. Yeah! No more smelly gym bag. lol
Today, I took a really good look at my new 'toy' (it has wheels!) and it struck me that it's really no bigger than my queen size pillow, and I'm supposed to get at least two weeks worth of clothes in it? HA!
So I tapped into my geekness and came up with a plan.

1. Decide beforehand what outfits (and yes, put outfits together!) to take.
3. Take only one pair of dress slacks, one pair of casual/dressy slacks and one pair of sexy jeans.
4. Be sure that the tops taken will go just as well with each pair of pants.
5. DON'T take more pairs of underwear than necessary. Forget the matching bras because you're married and the hubs isn't coming, so who cares. In fact, forget the bras altogether.
6. Take at least three pairs of socks for every pair of pants of the same color.
Wearing white socks all the time, though comfy are NOT cool!
7. One floor length attractive nightgown that doesn't need a robe over it for modesty. (I'll only take it off before I get into bed anyway! lol)
8. One pair of whooly socks to wear with the nightgown, saving room because slippers won't be necessary.
9. One turtleneck black sweater for the chilly evenings and a short waisted jacket.
10.Tops should include, a number of nice t-shirts, 2 blouses including one really outrageous see through frilly number to dress up the jeans or wear with the dress slacks. And two complimentary velvet vests to wear with the frilly number and cover the nipples, because remember, there are no bras! lol
11. ROLL up everything as tight as you can keeping the wrinkles to a minimum. Line the edges of the suitcase with rolled socks, underwear and t-shirts. Fold slacks once and lay flat on the bottom. Fold blouses and vests flat and lay over slacks. Fold nightgown and lay over blouses. Fold jacket and lay on top of everything Tuck your hairdryer, curling iron/flat iron, into spaces between socks and folded clothes. Put all personal hygeine products in a ziplock bag and tuck it in too.
12. Keep all jewelry in a bag in purse.
13. Resign self to going barefoot as there is no room for shoes.

So I tried it.
It didn't fit.
So I took it all out again and ended up with this:
Anyone else got a better idea? LOL

ahh, you are wearing a pair of shoes... right?


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

I wear shoes as little as possible, so I never really think about them. LOL Guess I'll have to settle for the pair I put on my feet to travel and hope no one looks at them too closely! LOL


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24693)   ranked 36 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

well, I only have one pair, so they have to deal with them!

The problem is not your clothes or the things you are packing. Take the suitcase back to the store and let the clerk know that the suitcase is Broken as it is not big enough to hold anything. It must be broken otherwise stuff would fit in it. The store clerk should then exchange your broken suitcase for a bigger suitcase that things will fit in. Good luck.


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

Great idea, but first I have to convince Spunky to get out of the suitcase! ROFL

Lol cute pic.


Damn im so glad im a guy and not a girl lol. This is what I do.


Take my backpack that I have had since I was 12 years old. Its a really nice black backpack, that I let my first girlfriend use who wrote I love david all over it, in white out. Which pissed me off at the time, so I took a black marker and marked it out. Yeah she wasnt happy, but dammit it was mine and I said she could use it not write all over it lol. Stuff socks and underwear in the bottom. Stuff shirts in, slightly folded, not like it matters. Push down on everything until it will zip up. Open other area, put my comb in there, along with tooth brush and toothpaste, also my book. There im done, and ready to go thru the airport security.


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  3 years ago

myLot reputation of 61/100. darkjedi1 (751)  3 years ago

Lol well ive been called both, but I prefer geek lol. Hell I dont care if my clothes are wrinkled, of course if I was traveling for buisness I might, but I dont lol. And when I move to Arizona, I will put the 2 days or so of clothes in there, and the rest goes in my trunk, along with everything else I can fit in my car.


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

Ok, you're a deek gork then! ROFL.
So I take it you're moving to Arizona for good?

4. myLot reputation of 96/100. Barb42 (2794)   3 years ago

First off, I could never, never go without a bra! So I guess I'm not a geek. And I never would worry about undies matching; who's going to see them anyway? I don't wear my slacks below them or my shirt short enough to show them. wink

I believe I could pack that suitcase and get it all in there! I have packed way more than that into my suitcase for a trip. And, by the way, you'll probably not wear all of it anyway, unless you stay longer than expected. Make sure everything you take corresponds with the one pair of shoes you are taking. wink I don't wear socks, (except around the house in the winter) so I don't have to worry about them, so that's a plus for me.

Perhaps you do need to take the suitcase back and get one a tad larger. Do I need to come up and pack for you? rolleyes


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

I haven't the time or the means to get to the city to get a larger suitcase, so yes, please do come up and pack for me! ROFL

I learned a long time ago to pack only two colors, black and white,tow pair pants, one skirt and three shirts then everything goes with everything. One jacket, one night gown, colored scarf, several for different effects, no jewelry, watch only, undies 3 pairs and soap to wash them with.
This will get me through a couple of weeks if necessary. Everything is wash and drip dry except the jacket. two pairs of shoes, I can dress everything up or down. I had jobs where I traveled a lot.


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

Back in the day when I travelled for work, it was like that for me to. Everything in my carry on so I didn't waste time at baggage.
But these days I like variety in my clothes. Getting old you know and would rather people focused on my cool clothes instead of my wrinkles! ROFL


myLot reputation of 99/100. savypat (13320)   ranked 12 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

I know the feeling, prayers and best wishes go with you on your trip.

w00tI know all about packing. Try it this way try it that way and still nothing fits. roll everything in a tight ball and but in case. You will need two pair of jeans so wear one. Wear the jacket that goes with everything if hot you can carry it over arm. Put one pair of good shoes in case wear comfortibal shoes on trip. Take only a few shirts. You mite not even wear everthing as you mite buy a t-shirt or shirt as look this is wear I went. YOu have a good day and good luck with the packing. Your friend onlydia

9. myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)   3 years ago

LMBO...and I was sooo impressed. Dang you was doing good too! I know...try it again, but cut back on the socks, you can hand wash them in the sink. No frilly shirt, just wear the vest with nothing on under it. whistleLeave out the dress slacks, the casual/dressy will be fine and jeans go from day to night especially with that vest with nothing on underneath. whistleagain. Forget the curling iron and flat iron and wear your hairs in sexy mussy curls. Everyone thinks you did it on purpose, so all you need is some gel. Flip it over you head, gel it, scrunch, air dry, fluff before leave, add a cute clip if needed. Forget the jacket and wear one on the plane, plus your coat over it.

Ok..that's all I got, did it help? wink


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

Actually, you helped a LOT! You are so smart as well as wise! I particularly like the hair thing. I just got it cut rather short and have to use a flatiron to keep it smooth (old age is making it course and flyaway), so the gel and scrunch thing sounds perfect as it naturally curls in the back anyway!
Well done you!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)  3 years ago

If you, like me, have naturally curly hair, it's also naturally dry. Only shampoo the scalp with very mild shampoo, preferably natural stuff. Then use a leave in conditioner, you might find that all your hair is curly. I bet it will look super cute on you!!! thumbup


myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)  3 years ago

Thanks Madam VP! ;curtsies;wink


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

Nice curtsy! Do again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Actually my hair is very straight, but as I age and get it cut shorter and shorter it gets more and more curly in the back. The front is styled in such a way that some straitness there can be worked with, crimping the rest of it, so your idea will still work. I have pro shampoo for my dry hair that my hairdresser gave me with some leave in conditioner, so that's all taken care.
Geez I'll have to get Devon to take some pics of me with my digital so you can see how it turns out. lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)  3 years ago

Oh yea...do..I'd love to see!! Cool!


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)  3 years ago

Oh please, silly! LOL! I bet it will be very smart looking! But then...I'm partial to curls! hee


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 1 out of 43 in been/am a geek girl  3 years ago

Me too! And actually for an old broad, I look pretty good, so the curls will be stylish but not foolish looking....................oh god, at least I hope so! ROFL
