Blue Heaven Disaster The First

[raefinlay]

So. Made it up to lovely Kelleys Island for a week of Blue Heaven '07 (oo, it rhymes). My fellow BHers are great. The first night of crits was great. The weather is great.

My luggage would also be great, if it were here. Alas, I left it at home.

I wonder how long until I start to smell?

Oh man, bummer!!!

The obvious solution is nude workshopping.

o.o

You know, this has been working out ok for me. I may not do laundry all week!

Oh no! :(

I can't even think of any witty comments. Just a chorus of oh no, oh no....

Like, at home at home? Can someone at home ship it to you?

How exactly does one leave for a trip and forget their luggage?

You have a boy there, right? He doesn't need clothes.

a) suddenly, we all feel much better about not being at Blue Heaven.
b) Wow. I'm seriously impressed.

I was gonna ask exactly what Kevin asked... word for word, actually.

*lol* Exact same question occurred to me, followed by the obvious answer: Excitement! Forgetful and preoccupied were a very distant second and third.

I'm wondering the same thing myself...

My guess is it's a case of miscommunication. Each one thought the other had loaded her luggage into the car.

But you brought your crits, right?

[magicnoire.livejournal.com]

...that's really impressive, Rae.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

(Jaime doesn't have a set of keys? To get in and ship you some clothes?)

Best of luck with that! If I can help at all, have WD call me and I will.

Aw, thx Em. I think it's going to work out though.

So, last night we got Toby chatting (hard to believe, huh?) and he got a little sappy and emotional while talking about his wonderful wife. That guys' guy thing? Totally a front. But don't tell him I told you...

She's wearing Charlie's clothes and Charlie is here naked, which is fine until he leans back in his chair to give his critiques.

Don't exert yourself. . . . and borrow someone's deodorant. :)

I can see this one setting a precedent---and setting off jokes---for every trip you take for the rest of your life.

"Where's my luggage?"
a. "Didn't you bring it?"
b. "I thought you brought it."
c. "I don't know."
d. under the hotel bed/in hotel closet, so you'll think you forgot it
e. under the bed at home so you will forget it
f. right in front of you, but someone *unpacked all your stuff* and left that at home

You might consider mixing the packing in future. Some of his clothes in your bag, some of yours in his. . . .just for emergencies. ;)

That's what careswen and I do. If the airline should loose one bag or we somehow forget a bag, then we each have some clothes to start with.

Oh lord. (that happened to me once. the worst, around day four, was lack of toothbrush. Guess who had tucked her wallet into the suitcase, worrying about pickpockets?)
