Ungh...I spent the later portion of the night dreaming that I was supposed to go to Seattle to install some software, but was stalling. I stopped by here on my way up from work, and there were two little kids in my house - apparently they'd crawled through the gate and come in. There was a boy about four and a girl who was maybe two or so. Cute kids. While I was playing with 'em and trying to figure out where they were from, first the gal from work showed up and started kinda rearranging my decorating, and then the kids' Dad showed up in a panic. While I was getting their coats on, the other gal ended up in a long discussion with their Dad. Apparently he ran a pizza place that wasn't doing well. She advised him to switch to chocolate chip cookies. He was all happy when he left with the kids.
I have no explanation for that.
Nano plot?
That's a remarkably complex and coherent plot. My dreams never have a beginning middle and end that make sense. :~) Good morning :~D
Enjoyed meeting Loretta, Katie's Mom, and Charlotte, Therese's mom. Loretta will get me her oldest son's address so winmag can send him a knife.
All the girls in Clare's apt. are really nice. There are six, so far, and one more was expected, but hadn't shown up yet. There are 3 bedrooms. The largest has two sets of bunks, the two smaller ones have one set each. Clare wanted a bottom bunk, and the only one still left was in the smallest of the bedrooms. She may end up being in there by herself, which is just fine with her. Loretta and Katie went with Clare and me to WalMart Thursday night to do some shopping, and we ended up with 3 carts of stuff. We got it all into the rental car, though! That was a HUGH trunk for such a small car!
Clare said she and their girls stayed up VEY late Thursday night just talking and getting to know one another; she said it was a lot of fun, and the girls seem to be getting along nicely.
Flying home was a bit of a challenge. First, I was late leaving Naples, and got on I-75 to head for the airport and it was a parking lot! Must have been an accident up ahead cause it took me 20 mins. to go 5 miles. I'd planned to drop the car off at 4, in plenty of time for my 5pm flight. I didn't even get to the car return place until 4:20, and the guy was nice enough to drive me over to the terminal so I wouldn't have to spend the time walking. Got there JUST in time to check the suitcase, then went to the gate. They were beginning to board, but the TSA was there checking bags as folks got on the plane. They took my two little tubes of toothpaste and my MASCARA! I'm glad it was an old one, and needed replacing anyway. So we were 15 min. or so late leaving Ft. Myers, and got to JFK with about 45 mins before the connecting flight. Then, because of all the delays during the day, they said OUR flight would be delayed leaving for an hour and a half. So I took them at their word, and went to get something to eat. There was a board just outside the restaurant that showed the flight info, and I was halfway through my supper when I looked up and saw that my flight was BOARDING! I dumped the food, and ran for the gate, tossing the half full bottle of water in the trash. We got all ready to go and started taxiing, when the pilot came on and said even though we were in line, there were 60 planes ahead of us, and it would STILL be an hour and a half before we took off. Thankfully, the pilot let us use cell phones to call and let folks picking us up in Boston know about the delay again, after everyone had called earlier to tell them that we had boarded. So anyway, JetBlue has little tv screens at each seat, with DirectTV, so I just watched TV, and then about an hour later, the pilot tells us we're fixing to go, cause we're 4th in line! Having that TV was terrific; the time seemed to fly! So anyway, I didn't get home until almost 1 but said a prayer of Thanks for getting home safely, then I just crashed and slept like a LOG for 8 hours! Had to get up before 10 cause a friend was coming to buy some of Joseph's books from last year for her son.
We may have to go buy a new washer cause our spin cycle died. SirKit's gonna do diagnostics on it this afternoon.
So how do you like being such a materialistic feminist? ;o)
