Lulu will be airborne in 30 hours.

I'm flying to LA Saturday morning and I'm quite excited. There will be sunshine, good food, and hugs. Last night I had a nightmare about being stuck in the airport -- I couldn't find my gate, I misplaced my check-in luggage somewhere on the way to checking it in, and all sorts of other very frustrating setbacks befell me. I also remember being unable to buy things in the duty-free shop because I was only traveling domestically. It was just not a good dream at all.

I've been visiting the Transit Security page obsessively so that I'll know what I can actually bring onboard. It looks like I'll definitely be packing my sword and billy club in my check-in luggage, but luckily I will be able to bring my gel-filled bra onto the plane, as well as up to 4 oz. of KY Jelly. I'm glad the TSA hasn't gone so far as to ban the real essentials.
