Food... food... food... I've been up for six hours and haven't eaten yet...
We're home! What an adventure!
We took the bus all the way up to the airport where I will eventually pick up my rental car. The bus driver was very nice and even offered to wait if I wanted to get off the bus and buy some $1.00/dozen donuts that were on sale! LOL I declined...the neighborhood was rough.
He told me the best route to take to get to the area where Steve works.
Was that the first time your boys have ridden a bus? I think I was almost in middle school before I rode a bus for the first time. I was think I was riding across town to my Granny's house, I don't even remember. I went to Catholic School, so we didn't have school buses.
Steve took them once before...when Joshua was little. Matthew remembered it, but Joshua didn't. It was fun, the bus driver was nice and seemed to enjoy talking to me! Offering to let us get out and get those donuts was a kind gesture.
If you don't count charter bus trips, the first time I'd ever riden a bus was after I moved out here. But I'd been on lots of subways which are a similar idea, I guess.
I love subways...I guess because they are so novel to me...
*shudder*
I don't like being underground!
I'm at the hotel...and there were three unsecured wireless networks around, which I assume means I kin use 'em...though THIS hotel didn't advertise anything. Hm.
In any case, I'm on for now. The flight went OK, though it was pretty long, considering it didn't seem like we had all that far to come. Dad and I went to the grocery and got a bunch of lunch stuff (cheese and bread and such). Tonight we're going over to Ben's fiancee's house for dinner - they're going to come get us.
Did you ever get your dress hemmed?
Yep, the dress is here.
*sigh*
Hope it fits. I haven't tried it on agin.
I'm so excited!!! What a whirlwind life you're leading right now! You're going to need to catch your breath! I guess that's where Hair comes in? LOL
Oh, good, you didn't miss your flight. I was a little worried about that.
Bet you're glad to see all the siblings!
Kitties haven't figured out that you've abandoned them yet.
I'm really hoping Tam doesn't act up. I realized after I left that I'd barely talked to you about them!
If he acts up I'll stick him in the closet ;-)
They're cats, and not mine, so it's not much more involved than "make sure they have food and water, and try not to step on them". You're the one who has to do all that silly petting and playing fetch and stuff.
Is that still around and updated?
Also, there was something to be said about who brings what supplies...groceries and drinks mostly. Am I requested anything? I've already proven I can get Vernors :)
HI there!
Sorry it's so dreary here weather-wise!
What would you like for a schedule tomorrow? You can go anywhere you'd like, within a range that would allow me to pick ecurbh up from work at 4:30!
I have the chart... and yes, I'll update it in the next few days. Thanks for reminding me!
Honey, in photoshop, I accidently closed the tool window that was in the upper right had corner... the one that showed the view window and let you zoom in and out.
I can't figure out how to get it back.
You can open it back up under the 'Window' menu. I think it's called 'Navigator' or 'Explorer' or something like that.
Thank you honey! :~D
get a room...
