Leavin' on a Jet Plane

It's finally here!!!!

Adam and I are leaving home today. Tomorrow we fly to the west coast at the very early hour of 7 a.m. Since the airport is about an hour and a half from home we thought we'd get a room and stay nearby tonight so we can sleep a bit longer in the morning. We'll be attending a conference for a couple days and then finally the fun will begin.

PK will fly in from the right. C.c will fly in from straight ahead while Grace drives in from straight ahead. That's if I'm facing north.

I can't wait till afterwards to tell you all about it. Grace claims that she'll have the truth, but seriously have I ever lied to you? And PK? You certainly can't trust her. She only tells half truths leaving someone else holding the bag and looking bad... usually me!!! LOL

I think I'm all packed but I've got to go over the list one more time and then verify some things with Adam.

PK said something about packing or not packing toys... hmmmm... they only go through your carry on stuff, right? We can pretty much put what we want in the suitcase, yes?

Anyhow, I think you all ought to have a party over at PK's while she's gone. Go ahead, mess the place up. I promise you she won't notice and even if she does, she won't care.

I haven't flown in 10 years. Heck I've only had to for 5 trips in my life. Twice my luggage has been lost. 40% is not that great. And once my ear drum popped because we were in the back of the plane by an engine so loud we couldn't even talk to each other. No kidding, I couldn't hear Adam and he was shouting. It was a nightmare flight. I called the airline. I told them what happened and how I have plenty of friends and a really big mouth. The next day they delivered an apology fruit basket and four airline vouchers for $150 each. That was sweet. Our kids used them eventually. And I've forgiven them. We're using them again tomorrow. One of our 4 flights is in the back of the plane. Adam is going to try today to have our seats moved. Wish him luck. I kind of value my eardrum. It was about 2 months before I could hear in that ear again and there was a constant low pitched ringing that whole time. I do NOT want to experience that again.

So did you notice my ticker? I bought new jeans yesterday. SIX.. freakin' size SIX. Honestly, it's perfect. It can't get any better than what it is right now. For over 30 years I've wondered what a 12 or 14 might feel like. This is beyond my wildest dreams. You know what does NOT have me stressed? Fitting into a seat on the airplane. No problem!!!!!!

Well hey, I'll be around reading and checking my email. I'm not sure how much I'll post but I do promise a picture or two eventually.
