Packing in a pinch

As I've been packing for Finland, I've realized that I have a slight problem. You see, I love hats. And coats. And shoes...

But I can't take them all. And so it has been really hard for me to decide which ones to take. Will I be happy with this in 2 months? I can't just buy a ton there because then I'd have to bring that back too...It's been real dilemma, and I wouldn't consider myself a light packer.

However, it's too late to do anything about it.  I'm already sitting in the Dallas Airport. My suitcase ended up being 52.5 pounds (oops!) but the nice lady at the desk just smiled at me and said, "honey, it'll be fine" and let me do it anyway. I love nice people!

I just have to wait five more hours for my next flight :)
