Obsession (Help me, Martha!)

So…20 days until my trip to Virginia. I’m totally obsessed. I’m not sure normal people behave this way.
I have begun “practice-packing” to make sure that my suitcase is suitable. I keep putting stuff in my carry-on bag to make sure it’s going to work out okay, and trying to keep it light enough to actually [...]
