I have to live out of my suitcase

[house]

For the next 2 or 3 weeks. Because we are packing everything up for the move. I need to make a list. Its like I am going away for a 2 wk vacation but not really going on vacation! :@ So I have to make a list of my summer essentials. Anyone want to give any tips such as.. don't forget your _____? I am thinking if I should just wear my two pairs of white shorts and two pairs of pants with 7 different tops and keep recycling.

We move a lot with the military and I'd just suggest picking a few key bottoms with various tops, like you said.

My only concern with white shorts is my tendency to spill on them every single time I wear them. I'd personally go with denim or khaki but if you do not have this problem, you are probably fine.

Are you doing anything that might require a formal/nicer outfit in the next few weeks? I'd probably pull out one sundress and nicer sandals just in case. My list would include: shorts, capris, comfy tops, PJs, comfortable shoes for moving day (like sneakers w/ socks), workout clothes, bras and undies and daily haircare/cosmetics. a

Oh, yes - me too.

I usually just keep out one bag with jeans/basics that I wear everyday and then one nice outfit just in case. If you'll be working during that time of course work clothes. I keep out only 2 pairs of pjs and deal with it and hardly any shoes. I also just do one bag of makeup/products and a very small jewelry box (of course keep your valuable/sentimental jewelry with you).

Also be sure to keep out your chargers - like phone, computer, etc.

I am thinking about putting my valuables in the bank safety box. I hardly ever wear those because they are so ornate! Specially my wedding jewelry (traditional indian gold jewelry) I am afraid of losing them in the move.

I've been stuck in a house with just myself, my cats, my laptop, two coloring books, 1 suitcase and a phone for two weeks. If I didn't have those chargers I would have lost my mind. Definitely remember the chargers!

Yikes Kare! I can't imagine not being connected to the world wide web for two days let alone two weeks! Wait, why did you have coloring book?!?

Mav has a great packing list on her blog, but I'm not finding her blog at the moment. I just edit it for trips.
