THE PACKING BALLET

“Oh Chucky… Where’s my…?”
       Wait for it folks...
“It’s not packed yet dear.”
“You don’t even know what I’m asking about!”
       Wait for it…
“What you always ask about at this stage of the
    ‘in the bag, outta the bag’ ritual…”
        Wait...
“Ok Mr Smarty pants…WHAT?”
      Here it comes…
“Your Blow Dryer.”
“Uh…Yeah… Right…Where is it?”
“Not Packed Yet.”
That was simple enough.

Yeah… it’s the Packing Ballet, danced to “Ole Time Rock ’n’ Roll” by Bob Seger. 
She takes it outta the closet… puts it on the bed - I pack it… 
She takes it outta the bag and puts it back in the closet... 
'cause it ain't “Que Cute” enough... 
or THE SHOES don't match!  W T F!!!

This has been going on for most of the day and as usual, its all her stuff not yet packed.       Mine-----------à
was packed yesterday

The fun thing about watching the Dragon Lady sort stuff for a trip is that the Goodwill Bag gets fuller. The not so fun thing is that it means another trip to the mall ‘cause now she’s... 
GOT NUTHIN TO WEAR!!! 
Trips to the Mall = 6... so far.

And as luck would have it, while picking up a Michelin Italian Road Atlas out in Pembroke Pines she discovers that there’s a DSW Shoes next door and of course… she needs to stop in to look for more shoes, Nawww… Really?!?  It was not to be.  However... not only did I score a pair of DockSiders to replace ones painted during Renovation, but stumbled on a pair of ECCO sandals at 70% off.  
Net result, Chucky 2 pairs of shoes, Dragon Lady 0!  
Go figure.

After racing home to watch the GrandKids for 2 hours, we're now off to Aventura in the evening for... you guessed it, SHOES.  

3 hours later we're headed for home with, 2 pairs of leggings, a new blouse and... NO SHOES!!!

Ok... so now here I am puttin' it all in the Bag..---à
she's taking it outta the bag - and the beat goes on,
“... Still like that old time rock 'n' roll 
The kinda music just soothes the soul 
I reminisce about the days of old 
With that old time rock 'n' roll...”
Stay tuned for the usual departure Chaos 'cause you there's gonna be some... 
Hell -  she may have to go out for MORE SHOES....

Ciao 4 Now
Uncle Chuck  & The still needs more shoes,            
Dragon Lady
Heading for Fine Tuscan Wine, Aged Sharp Cheese & Great Crusty Bread
