I need a job!

Wow! I think I need a paying job. Our gas bill for my car and John's truck was $700 last month. Add to that how much everything else has gone up and I can only be thankful we aren't trying to feed a big family now. My favorite bread is now $4.32 a loaf. :( I've switched to a different kind. We purchased our airline tickets for our summer trips several months ago, thank goodness. Now I just have to figure out how to go on vacation with one suitcase. That's a problem for me. I am never sure what to take. Will it be hot, too cold, do I need a dress, what shoes....etc. Oh my, what about a coat! You know, when you come from Yuma, you are cold when it is 75 degrees out. I guess if I traveled more I would be better at it. For the past 25 years I traveled in an RV so I could take anything I wanted. That had it's definite advantages but I don't regret getting rid of it. Especially with the price of gas now. How do people go treking all over europe with just a backpack? Maybe I need to take a class on how to pack a suitcase. Is there such a thing? Oh, here's a thought .... I could UPS my stuff to my destination and just fly with my carry-on. Now this has possibilities! That way I could make room for whatever purchases I make during my travels. Oh, this is brilliant. I am going to go ponder this.

You do realize that Southwest still lets you check 2 bags each for no extra charge?

You'll definitely be cold indoors most everywhere, so bring a coat.

That's good.

I was going to suggest UPS. That is what they advise on the morning shows if you can't check what you need.

Good old SWA. They haven't caved in yet. I'd rather pay extra for the ticket up front.

Stuff is getting MUCH too expensive. We have gone way past $4 for gas.

We are way past $4 per gallon too. Life is getting so expensive. I'm gonna have to start shopping at Aldi's.
