Travel Day

**on the plane, somewhere over this great country of ours about 13:30 EST.

Well this sucks, I wanted to watch a movie that we’ve had forever and it is playing rough, where the sound is broken up.  I’ve played dvd on my vaio before so I don’t know what is up.  I tried 3 different programs, but no dice.  Even tried it with a dvd that I’ve played on here before.  I see what I can figure out when I get to my folks.

I’m exhausted.  I try to nap on and off and it just doesn’t happen.  =(

While at the airport, I took care of a few store orders, surfed the local news, got 2 of my Time magazine read…..now I just have 2 more to read.

I must say that I love having my sprint wireless card.  Now, keep your fingers cross that I get a signal at my folks. I would really hate to use their dial up, even though I made sure to set up for it last time I was up.  =(  Now that I think about it, I don’t remember if I have my phone cord for that………..mmmm………lol

Here is a blonde moment.  I’m coming up to attend a wedding and guess what I forgot?  The invite!  Doh!  Good thing I know the area and know where things are taking place.  I’m going to email the bride to confirm my memory.  I’m just stunned that I forgot it.  I remembered when we pulled up to the airport.  Duh!

As you have read, I need a root canal….icks.  But honestly I rather go thru one of those then go through this pain.  It is a relief. I’m so hoping that I can find a dds to take care of this when I get back and not have to wait until the 11th!!  That would really suck.  =(  And I’m not taking those damn pain killers, codeine makes me sick……ggrrr…..nasty crap

If you read Harold’s post, he had a good visit with his folks.  He brought back about 1500 pics.  He got some great ones in there.  His mom sent me some crochet dollies.  I like those.  I have so many knick-knacks that they are great for.  We are thinking of trying to get up there in Oct.  He has been trying to find a different place to fly in other then Minneapolis.  That was the horrible part of the trip and then he had to drive about 4-5 hrs. to get to his folks from there.

Not sure what else to say.  Sorry I haven’t been around as much.  I’ve just been totally swamped here with everything.

I do plan on stepping down from my position and cutting back on my hours at my day job in June after I use up all of my vacation.  There is just so much that I need to do online that I’ve been neglecting that it sucks.  But by stepping down and staying on some, I can help with the transition.  

Oh well, maybe I should finally respond to some emails so when I get online they will send out.

***It is about 9:30 and I still haven’t had any slept.

I spent time talking and visiting with my dad.  Learned how he got his 2 bronze stars in ‘Nam.  For the repairs he did under fire (he was ordinance) and he had the best repair record out of the whole battalion.  That is cool.  I knew his helicopter got shot down once, but I didn’t know he got shot down 3 times…….1 taking off, 1 coming in and another a few hundred feet up.  Lucked out and had a good pilot that was able to land on the beach.  It is hard to imagine my dad out there as a young GI, but wow…..then learned that he was stationed right at the front by the DMV, where the VC would send over a few bombs over at the same time everyday like clock work.  One left a 15 ft crater right next to his bunker………….damn

He brought up some very interesting insights into ‘Nam & Iraq, but of course, I’m way too exhausted to write them out.  But if I remember I want to explore those ideas.

Time to hit the hay.
