is blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cotton doll doily doll handmade rag doll vintagesusie and wings thursday july 2 2015 6 weeks in europe with a 22 carry on greetings friends with only 12 days to go until my big adventure i m starting to kind of stress out about trying to fit 6 weeks worth of clothing other necessities into a 22 carry on and a shoulder bag i have done lots of research on this as that s just how i roll but looking at pictures reading others suggestion s is far different then doing the real thing thus i packed let s start with my bag of choice after reading many reviews i decided on the timbuktu 22 carry on the main buying features that attracted me to this bag are it s light weight construction it s in line skate quality wheels it s half half opening system with the net closures it s 22 size that fits all the international carry on requirements i went to my favorite source to look at packing solutions which is almost always pinterest i think we have all heard that the burrito roll is one of the most practical space saving ways to pack our clothes the one thing i found on pinterest that i hadn t seen before was to layer your like style items before you roll this worked perfectly for me here i have packed grey blue is kind of my color palette 2 skinny jeans 1 grey long skirt 1 grey short skirt 1 aqua capri sweat pant 2 grey tanks 2 jg tanks 4 neutral tanks 1 navy cami tee 1 heathered grey tunic tee 1 white embroidered blouse 1 oat short sleeve shirt 1 black long sleeve shirt 1 blue lightweight cropped sweatshirt 1 grey blue embroidered summer dress 1 black flip flop 1 nice tan scandal you can t see these as this bag has an area for shoes above where my umbrella is small cream leather cross shoulder purse 1 grey blue neck scarf 2 jg baseball hats 2 white socks 2 wash cloths 2 grocery bags 2 ziplock bags hair dryer umbrella medications i actually have a little space for more another thing i liked about this bag is that it has 2 pockets on 1 side of the netting these were the perfect place to add my unmentionables which i shall now mention 1 black bra 2 sports bras 5 pair of underwear in the other pocket i have a brush travel flat iron toothbrush toiletries one thing i was super excited about was this cute little clear for take off toiletry bag all cleared for size you won t believe what i fit in here shampoo conditioner shower gel rose water spray hand sanitizer tooth paste lip gloss body lotion face cream serum face makeup dark spot serum razor bar soap qtips bandaids toothpicks not too shabby completely amazing last but not least is my carry on shoulder bag i chose the ogio messenger bag for a couple of reasons soooooo many pockets bottle holders lightweight fit over my bags handles so i can pull them as one a great color match in here i will carry ipad iphone charger ear buds external charger international adapter transformer inflatable neck pillow eye mask ear plugs kleenex wipes hand sanitizer medication sunglasses wallet file fly wallet holds money passport tickets maps etc sudoku magazine camera gum snacks water and of course because i m always makin stuff my travel journal it s ready to start filling the pages full of life s adventures i know i will inevitably forget some things will also probably bring things i don t actually use but when your going to be gone for 6 weeks i figure it s better to be safe then sorry for now i m pretty satisfied with my choices i ll have to let you know when i get back if everything in theory worked as well while out on the road so for now adieu i ll leave you with this great quote we travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us xoxo vintagesusie posted by vs at 2 08 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels best international carry on carry on packing pack for 6 weeks in a carry on packing for 6 weeks vintagesusie and wings monday june 22 2015 european vacation oh my greetings friends i m soooo very excited about my upcoming trip to europe this summer only 3 weeks until bon voyage time i can hardly wait i will be spending 6 weeks traveling through germany england i am truly exhilarated terrified all at the same time is that even possible reasons for my exhilaration are pretty obvious 6 weeks in europe reasons for being terrified are more allusive fear of flying is at the top of the list but you can never go to far off places if you don t get on a plane the extended stay is longer then i have ever been away from my family my husband my daughter my grandson my cats travelling with family that i really don t know all that well i m kinda crazy do they know this about me will i have any freak out moments that might terrify them make them wish they hadn t invited me anything s possible i have sleeping issues i have sleeping rituals what if i never get over my jet lag can t get on the right time schedule it s happened to me before my father daughter i went to italy came back to the hotel at about 3 or 4pm daily fell asleep then woke up every night at 2am that was an amazing adventure with insane sleeping patterns lol living for 6 weeks out of a 22 carry on because we will be taking many trains buses need to travel lightly i m pretty low maintenance not big on make up my hair is easy i m very use to camping this should be the least of my problems one of my digital designs from my card line just sayin one of my very favorite quotes from mark twain has always helped me be braver then i really am twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn t do than by the ones you did do so throw off the bowlines sail away from the safe harbor catch the trade winds in your sails explore dream discover yeah now that s what i m talkin about be fearless take advantage of each every opportunity say yes even if you want to say no travel outside your comfort zone and remember be adventurous shed your ordinary life in the journey maybe something extraordinary might happen life is amazing xoxo vintagesusie posted by vs at 8 41 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels european vacation mark twain quotes twenty years from now vintagesusie and wings friday june 5 2015 huntington s disease learning to live my family at disneyland in 1958 this is a very personal post it s a post for me a post for others who may have experienced this strange phenomenon a post for those in the huntington s disease community a post to expose my weakness my desire to heal my prayer to find peace you see i ve spent most of my adult life preparing to die young a statement like this requires at the very least a quick rewind into my past family history my parents were born raised in a small midwestern town in central illinois daddy was the class president captain of the football team mommy was a prom princess a diver who was a standby for the 1952 summer olympics clearly a match made in heaven one of countess love stories after graduation they married in vincennes indiana my mother became pregnant with my brother my dad enlisted with his best friend to fight in the korean war he would not see my brother for the first time until he was 1 1 2 years old by then he had arranged for his family to be awaiting him in long beach california where i would be born 9 months later my early childhood reminds me of my favorite quote from field of dreams the memories will be so thick they ll have to brush them away from their faces belmont shore the feeling of sand between my toes the smell of sea ski searching for the tiniest of sea shells the sight of my daddy in a lifeguard tower us playing right below him my mommy tall lean brown my brother johnny every childhood memory i have includes my brother johnny all of it so wonderful sweet now i feel nostalgic happy don t want to go on with the story when i was 10 my mother got sick no one seemed to know what was wrong with her she had mood disorders was unsteady on her feet she dropped things started walking as if she was drunk she shop lifted something from a store had money in her purse this was where my fairytale ended a frightening harsh reality came over me just as strong as the sweetness of life that had come before something was terribly wrong nothing would ever be the same again my mother was adopted this was something i was aware of at a very young age i loved my grandma alma who still lived in illinois every summer we would drive across the country to go visit her our other family there she would fly out to see us a couple of times a year after my mother got sick a big emphasis had come from her doctor to have my grandma try contact her birth parents find out as much as possible about her family history what she found out confirmed everyone s worst fears my mother probably had huntington s disease an untreatable incurable deadly genetic disease that was passed down by her mother that her 3 children would have a 50 50 chance of inheriting in many ways from that moment on i felt cursed i m going to fast forward a bit simply because it s still hard at almost 60 to go through it all again my mother died when she was 36 an event in my life i feel i never truly got over my brother johnny also died from huntington s which permanently broke my heart my younger sister i miraculously escaped this fate but certainly not without scars deep wounds huntington s has effected every aspect of my life still does to this day if you can imagine living with an expiration date that s kind of how my adult years went by expecting to die young learning to be ok with that i chose not to spend years going to collage for a career that i may never have the time to enjoy i had a hard time getting married then i had an even harder time deciding to have a child i had one daughter tied my tubes immediately after not wanting to pass this disease on but my desire to be a mother was so strong i had to allow myself this one gift just for me i spent my 20 s 30 s off on in therapy seeing psychologists psychiatrists together they helped me find my way to happiness i thank god for them for i m sure they saved my life so i have learned to dance in the rain i am beyond blessed to be a survivor my life has been so full of wonder love joy beauty but i find myself unprepared for one silly stupid thing getting old i never allowed myself to even think about the possibility of living to a ripe old age it wasn t in my vocabulary my sister kris i in 1964 in 2014 i know i know my fervent prayer has been answered i should be filled with light glory i am i really am i m just gonna need a second for my mind to catch up to my body for the visual image of me to change from a person who dies young to a person who might just live into her 80 s even 90 s i will embrace each every wrinkle sun spot i will learn to find purpose in my old age what a word i will learn to live beyond my expected expiration date with joy for all of those in the huntington s disease community who are taken far to young who die before there lives have really even begun i will do my best to make my life worthy of surviving i will love with an open heart i will dream big i will create leave something of myself behind that shows resilience gratitude abundant blessings this is what i work towards today every day after xoxo vintagesusie posted by vs at 10 30 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels huntington s disease living with huntington s disease survivor vintagesusie and wings tuesday april 7 2015 to shower or not to shower to shower or not to shower that is the question i know what a stupid silly question that is of course the only sane answer is to shower or is it now maybe my aversion to showering can be blamed on being born in the psyco generation having seen that movie 100 s of times it does prove a frightening fact that you are quite vulnerable while alone in the shower but i can t use that excuse although i think it s a pretty good one no i have many reasons i have this daily dialog in my head what a waste of killing perfectly good brain cells right most people would never admit this to the world but since i ve decided to write what ever i want on my blog i just don t give a shit about what anyone thinks i m sharing one of my secret quirks when i was younger probably most of my life i did shower every day i was an active child involved in many sports which makes sense that i d need a bath everyday in my 20 s 30 s i always loved to have my hair freshly done my basic make up on just to go about my usual life in my 40 s which i think were the best years of my life i started to shower every other day or so the main reason i did this was because i always liked my hair best the 2nd or 3rd day now in my 50 s headed to 60 i have to say i hate taking a shower hate it to me it s a complete waste of time there are sooooo many other things i d rather be doing then that i know i m such a fucking weirdo i like to blame this fact truly on genetics the brewer side of my family has dry skin i mean seriously dry skin we lack oil of any kind on our skin hair i remember when my grandmother was in her later years she would cry when she was made to take a bath now that my dad is 80 his aversion to bathing has him at a once every few weeks schedule ha ha ha and now with me i m running on a couple times a week completely gross right since this bathing phenomenon has me thinking feeling like such a loser i decided to do some research on bathing to see if i m completely alone in my ideology here s what i found 1 if you take daily showers you may be doing more harm to your body than good a new study shows that bathing too often is actually really bad for your skin hair 2 you are also washing away good bacteria that naturally helps your skin 3 cleansing reduction is a new trend that happens to leave you with better hair and skin this means bathing only once a week to stop stripping the skin and hair of essential oils and good bacteria 4 eco friendly a great way to save water to create a smaller eco footprint omg i may be on to something here basically it seems that a large part of the need for showering has to do with your lifestyle where you live i live in southern california which happens to be in a huge drought i also live on a mountain top where the average weather is dry cool i am not as active as i know i should be i spend most of my time inside creating whatever it is that i decide to make that day i am a constant hand washer because i hate getting sick i actually had a flu shot this year have not had a cold all season even being surrounded by a sick husband daughter grandchild i am completely anal even in the most literal term don t go to the bathroom without using wipes on everything there you go way to much information about me lol that s what i said susie tells her truths talks about what s on her mind politically correct or not i guess this post is geared towards...
