I am sitting in the airport with almost 2 hours to kill---it took me all of 20 minutes(or less) to get thru security checks---they only took your shoes off if they questioned anyything in your bags or on your person(same with the hand-held metal detectors--I had nothing to worry about there ;) disney world here i come!

Twigs/Grooch/MsBat

Help! Did I miss the pictures? I clicked onto your nicks to reach your profiles and didn't see any pictures. Did I look in the wrong place? I would appreciate your kind assistance here!!

I just got back from my mini road trip to San Francisco (again!). I've got so many family members in that area that I'm always traveling on I-5. This trip was a 65th Birthday celebration and it was a blast! The DJ was excellent and it's always great seeing my cousins, etc. again.

Egbok, Twiggy had them up, but I think she might have taken them down.

Today was the first day back on the 'puter for me and my connection isn't working right.

I had so much fun playing hookey from work and running off to join up with Bat and Twiggy.

Twiggy is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. I also got to meet her daughter Emily on the second day. She seriously has one of the most beautiful singing voices I ever heard. And what made it even more amazing was hearing it come out from someone so young. She sounded 10 years older when she was singing.

You guys are very lucky that I don't have one of Buttercup's email phone things. Otherwise you would have been reading constant messages of me emailing:

This sucks.

This sucks.

This really sucks.

Florida is fricking ugly.

It is really fricking ugly.

I can not believe how ugly Florida is.

Am I there yet?

Am I there yet?

Am I there yet?

I have a god damn truck in front of me on a one lane highway doing 30. Why the hell can't it have some common courtesy and pull over?

Am I there yet?

This sucks.

I am so bored.

I am going looney tunes.

Damn! All these bugs are smacking my windshield and there is no washer fluid. My husband better not say a word about how filthy the truck is.

Am I there yet?
------

Shall I go on?

Anyway, the day I left there were accidents on all the main roads so I had to take the long way there. I am so proud of myself that I made it. (Bat called me and told me that I had to go and that even though 2 main highways were shut down for the next 8 hours, it was no excuse not to go see her.)

Twiggy warned me about the cops and driving through small Florida towns so I was only doing about 8 miles above the speed limit. But after a certain point, I had to say screw it, and I was doing 90 to 95 the rest of the way there. I couldn't take it anymore. I drove even faster on the way home.

This was my ride there. I will have to make another post about the visit. :)

Grooch, it sounds like you had fun with all them there smacking bugs and no washer fluid!! How long was your drive??

I'm glad you made it home safely after meeting Twiggy, Emily and MsBat.

Did you take any pics that you might be able to post?? I'll check in tomorrow night with fingers crossed.

Nancy, you may officially disregard all the questions I left in your folder now that I've found this. I will remind you, however, that you left me singing "Just a Spoonful of Sugar" several days ago. Help!!!! I need a new song assignment. oh--and photos of mickey would be good.

I'm so glad you had a good time. :)

Nancy, you picked a perfect week to come down to Florida. It is cold down here again. It was 55 outside this morning and will only get up to 70 this afternoon. Brrrr......

(PS Lotus rocks! I hate excel with a passion, but alas, I think I will be forced to switch to it this year.)
