I've had this lingering sickness for a few weeks but nothing too debilitating. As of the past couple of days, I literally cannot take a breath without coughing like I'm on my death bed. My co-workers who sit by me have got to want to slice me. I'd slice me.
Disgusting cough or not, I will rally because I'm off to South Carolina at 5 a.m. to meet up with this girl for a weekend getaway. Some sights I'll be seeing in less than 24 hours:
I'll be updating our trip a lot on Instagram. You can follow me at @thebargainblonde
Also, I am scheduling a Friday Faves link-up post for Friday, so y'all can still get your posts ready and link-up with me even though I'll be laying on the beach while y'all slave away at the office. It's OK, you can hate me.
Per the usual, I have not packed and I have not ran any necessary pre-vacation errands. I'd blame my current sickness, but this is what I do before every trip. I'm queen of waiting until the last minute. Like we're talking I still need to go to the bank, get a new pair of sunglasses, do laundry, pack, paint my nails, go the post office, write thank you cards, etc. Obvs not all this is going to happen, but I will try my best.
Does any one procrastinate like me before traveling? Or are you on top of your packing game?

I'm sorry about your cough, Hun! I hate when I have those coughing attacks where you can't stop coughing and you look like you're dying and people just stare at you... it's happened so many times to me!
ReplyDeleteBut I hope you enjoy your trip!
xoxo
South Carolina is sooo pretty.. Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteI am SUCH a procrastinator. I do everything the night before, and then I stress like a maniac. So jealous you're going to SC, have a blast!
ReplyDeletehave a great trip! Let us know how it goes :)(i'm sure you will haha). I mostly leave packing til the last minute; i pack some of my "neeed to haves" early. Like if I buy something for a trip specifically, it goes in the suitcase immediately. Otherwise, I'm packing until we pull away.
ReplyDeleteyes, this is my life. i try telling myself that if i forget something, i can always buy it - that mentality doesn't go over as well with hubs.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to love Charleston! I've only been here for 3 days and already love it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Beth have THE BEST TIME EVER! With no broken bones this time... mmk?

have a great time missy, hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone. I'm heading to Jersey/NYC in the morning and haven't packed *anything* yet. I did manage to spray tan & get my nails done. Still need to go to the bank, find my camera, do laundry, etc. I thrive on procrastination =)

ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better and have fun!!
ReplyDeleteNEVER fails, I ALWAYS have to sit on my bag to zip it! My husband always tells me it won't work...and I always prove him wrong. Over packing blondie FOR THE WIN!!!! :) Have a great trip & get to feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite jelly that you get to travel all the time and have single girl's trips and all that implies! Lucky who-er. Yes I called you a who-er but that is my jealousy talking. Plus I spelled it in a cute way. And I'm totes playing. Luv u mean it. I wait till the last minute on everything, not just packing.
ReplyDeleteI am the WORST procrastinator when it comes to packing! I always tell myself that I'm going to be packed and ready to go early so I don't freak out, but it never happens. Ever. I understand. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteJetsetter! I try to be super laid back about packing and planning for a trip, but I've recently given into my control-freak tendencies and actually feel so much more calm. I make very-detailed packing lists and plan every second of my trip, especially restaurants!
ReplyDeleteugh, I used to be *so* good about packing early...but the past few trips I've gone on, I've been up until at least 1 AM packing the night before I left. I don't know what has changed or what's wrong with me. gahhhh
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better & enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteHave so much fun and hope you feel better!!
ReplyDeleteYour e card is soooo me!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog ;)
I would love to be traveling now, anywhere really!
ReplyDeleteI always wait till the last minute to pack and run errands... we're talking morning of here. For international flights. It's a problem.
I'm jealous! Hope you have a blast!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. I'm so jealous of all your fun traveling experiences. I'm a procrastinator too, very much so! Hope you get all you need done. Enjoy your trip
ReplyDeleteWow, great pictures!!
