Lists & more lists

I'm currently in the list-making stage of packing. 

Also: I need a list to categorize my lists.  Just so many lists!  And some of my lists even have sub-lists! 

For instance, there's a "Food to buy" list.  But within that, there's a "food to buy for the cooler" and a "food to buy for the car/non-perishables" lists.

There's a "camping needs" list.  There's a "things to bake/make ahead" list. There's a "food menu" list for the times we'll be driving, and of course, there's a big daddy master "grocery list".

There's even an "obscure things to pack" list for all those random things you know you'll forget lest they appear on the list (and even then....well, sometimes you'll still drive right off without it.)

I have a "things to do before we leave" list which includes the VERY important item "HAIR CUT & COLORED" 3 days before we leave.  Yes, we will be hiking and camping and be very grimy much of the trip, but halfway through, we land in SoCal for  a few days to visit friends we rarely see or haven't seen in years and they must not discover that I have acquired just a wee bit of gray hair in the past few years.... so the hair appointment:  it is as important as remembering the flash lights and gluten-free snacks for my wheat-allergic daughter.

Also on my list:  need to finish my blog posts about the details of our trip!  This post is now officially over....going to work on Hollywood now.
