- My Twins turned 15 on Thursday.
- My nephew had emergency surgery on Thursday night.

- So I just got back from a trip halfway to my parents' to meet my dad so they can take care of my dog.
- And on the way home I had to buy an automatic cat feeder because...
- I'm going to Vegas first thing tomorrow morning!!
Which brings me to 3-1-1. Whoever came up with this had to be a man. For those who don't know, 3-1-1 is the TSA guideline for bringing liquids in your carry-on baggage. Since bags cost $25 to check, I'm carrying everything on. So 3-1-1 means All liquids must be in a 3oz or less container. All those containers must be in a 1qt zipper bag. Each passenger can have only 1 zipper bag. These are some of the things affected by this rule:
toothpaste
hair gel
hair spray
conditioner
liquid foundation
mascara
lip gloss
Carmex (I'm addicted)
facial cleanser
face lotion
perfume
Have you ever tried to fill all that in a 1 quart bag? It took me an hour...
My quart sized bag
Most screening spots are pretty lax about the lip stuff. I usually just keep it in my purse and don't worry about it. No one has ever said anything.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! I wish we would have over-lapped so we could have had a drink together!
sheesh, that looked like way too much work. I would have been happy to tell you to leave it all at home and just go to Walgreens on the strip. There is also a Ross store. There is no need to pack much of anything, just make a quick trip to Walgreens and Ross when you get here! Have an AWESOME time...
ReplyDeletemasacara is technically a GEL, and so it doesn't count and doesn't have to go in the baggie. weird, right?
ReplyDeletebut i once had to throw away $28 in new lip gloss that i'd forgotten was in my purse. that was when they first started that stupid rule, though, and were very unyielding and stricty strict.
Are you still in Vegas? If so I wanna vacation like you vacation!
ReplyDeleteLOL...no, I'm home, just been blah since I got back and haven't had much to say...
ReplyDeleteHolyMama...everything I read said Mascara had to be in my quart baggie, wish I had known.
And Headless, I did leave some lip gloss in my purse with no problems on the return trip.
