Plane panic

Ever get stuck on the tarmac? Yeah, it sucks. On our way back from Seattle yesterday, we ended up getting stuck on the plane, sitting there for almost 2 hours due to a "mechanical issue". Not something you ever want to hear your captain say.
At first I was okay with it. I was so tired that I just passed out. But 2 hours later when I woke up to find we were still sitting there without any air on I was one pregnant lady away from having a panic attack until we finally started moving.

The Week After Christmas

'Twas the week after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).

Not so sleepless in Seattle

Flying out to Seattle tomorrow! Can't wait to see my new nephew and sisters. It's going to be cold but that always makes Christmas seem more official.
Stay safe on the roads. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Baby it's cold outside

Believe it or not but here in sunny Florida, it has reached record colds, which I love. The temperature dropped to around 28 degrees or so at night issuing freeze warnings. I actually had to buy a space heater. Now I know that's nothing compared to the -28 degrees in many states but it's a big change from the typical 80 degree weather.
Being in the cold makes me realize how much better I feel. I think Florida's time is soon to be up. Plus, I really enjoy wearing my boots, coats, and scarves. I'm sure many people are saying they'd rather be wearing flip flops and tank tops though.

Dear Neighbors...

I'm really not sure who invented those inflatable lawn decorations but whomever that was really needs to quit. I'm sorry to sound like a Scrooge, but a ten foot snow globe and Santa Claus don't seem to make Christmas any better. I admire your Christmas spirit but Mickey and Minnie Mouse teeter-tottering outside my window becomes a real distraction, and you're freaking out my dog.
The light display was nice. The lawn nutcrackers, not so bad, but the assemblage of blimps has got to be tamed. Plus, isn't is a bit of a hassle to have to inflate those things every night?
