There's a book I've read called 'Bloom Where You Are Planted,' and I think there's a lot to be said for that sentiment. It is true that a happy person is likely to create their happiness wherever they are, and the same for an unhappy person. There are things I'm glad to have returned to, for sure, but that won't stop me dreaming about retirement and moving to Florida some sweet day!!
I'm really astonished at our good luck in finding out about the accidents and closing so far ahead of panic time -- seriously, what are the chances? We check on the flight on the last day, but we've never even thought to check that the
highway is open! Well, something else for the next checklist!
And a Whosyourdaddy DIS Meet in Orlando -- I like!!!
Thot...that was sooo THOUGHTFUL of your DF to warn you.
Glad you weren't in that mess!!! (Sorry for the bad pun.
) And I agree. It's a sign.
I'm all about bad puns, no need to apologize! (Ooo, that reminds me, I've got a picture that my DF took of me and my DD in front of Pooh's Thotful Shop. I've got to move that over to photobucket so I can post it here!)
I walked into the kitchen this morning, and not only were DSs shoes in the middle of the floor, so was the shirt he wore yesterday! In the middle of the kitchen floor....that's not even trying.
And Nancy, I'm the same way about camping..it's actually MORE work because you're doing all of that stuff with equipment that isn't nearly as convenient. I think you have to really love it...not for me. I used to work with someone who said she camps at the Hilton...............more my style!
That's great Frog, thanks for coming over to tell us to look for it!
And after you get that job, we'll come see you!
That fire made the lead story on the Today show....so glad you missed it!
Did he at least sort of kick it all to the side? Oh, no, I see it was all in the middle of the floor. Seriously, what is it with the testosteroned side of the human race?
I've watched my DS and DH drop things wherever they take them off, as if little Laundry Fairies are going to catch each item before it can hit the floor and waft it off to the hamper, or as if the clothes simply cease to exist as soon as they are unneeded. I gotta get me a mentality like that, it would save me so much aggravation!
Camping in a hotel is right up my alley, too!! Gee, doing the same stuff you do at home, but with more bugs and less convenience ... did I miss the part where that's fun?
I've decided on my new position: Quality Control for Disney Attractions!
I'll ride everything all day long and make official-looking marks on charts and checklists. Say, you don't need any actual qualifications or experience for that job, do you?
Good morning! I got busy and never got a chance to sign back online last night!
Thotfulspot, I'm glad you made your flight home on time! I guess it would be a lot different missing and rescheduling an overseas flight!
My DH, master planner that he is, called the airline to see what all our options were before we headed out. We could have rebooked through Tampa -- at our expense and with a connection through Chicago
-- or, if we wanted to fly out from Orlando, the next flight with 4 spaces would be on Sunday. Ack! My DH was actually tempted, but the kids have school on Monday, and we're cutting it close with jetlag as it is.
Good morning!
I have a little bit of time before I need to get ready for work. So far this morning I have cleaned the kitchen from the mess they made last night and I have a batch of pumpkin muffins in the oven. I totallay forgot that today was a food day for my team at work and I had signed up for a healthy dessert. Pulled out my old quick standby recipe from WW. It smells very good in the house right now.
Mmmm, pumpkin muffins!! I certainly hope you made enough to share with all of us!
