Friday I flew up to the frosty north to meet up with Kate and hang out with her fam and my fam (sometimes together) and our friends, and it was a great weekend. We’re very happy with our life down here amongst the tobacco fields, but we sure do miss those yankee’s.
We’ve been flying a lot lately, more this year then any other for either of us. Being that we’re frequent flyers, we’re quick to locate the lowest fair available online. Saving money is good. There are two usual conditions of the lowest fair, one being that it’s on US Airways, and the other being that there’s at least one connecting flight involved.
There have been some horror stories about plane travel in the news lately, so my personal tale of the first – flight – being – late – and – requiring – me – to – run – at – full – bore – through – 3 – terminals – because – my – next – flight – leaves – in – ten – minutes – followed – by – sitting – on – the – ground – for – over – an – hour – because – they – couldn’t – find – the – guy – to – back – the – plane – out – of – the – gate doesn’t really compare, but it certainly made it a stressful trip.
I’m starting to think that paying a little more for a direct flight will both reduce the stress and running, make it less likely that we’re flying on the lowest bidder, and probably get us to our destination faster. Either that or we’ll drive.

It’s just nice to know that I wasn’t the only one who’s childhood was traumatized by a certain set of Muppets.

Last time we went to DeWayne’s for trees I bought some annuals and perennials for the yard. The time before that I got a hibiscus. Pat said if I could spell it, I could have it. All the description said was “tropical.” I am hoping that means it needs lots of sun and water, because that is what it is getting. I should probably get it some fertilizer.
And here is my sidekick today. She is not leaving my side. And she would prefer we be outside bird watching.

Pat was teasing me that I would starve while he was up north because I tend to let him be in charge of dinner. Not that I don’t do my share of cooking, but frequently if I am hungry I become unable to make a decision and unable to actually follow through. Leading to a vicious cycle where I become more hungry and further away from food. With Pat around that rarely happens. He’s good like that.
So on my way home from the airport I decided to stop at McDonald’s because I was already starving. I really wanted Chick Fil A, but they are closed on Sundays. I ordered my burger, fries, and soda. Took it and left, eating my fries on the way.
I got home and let the kitties out of their room and sat down to eat.
They gave me a filet -o- fish.
I was pretty horrified. I have been known to eat a fish stick or two in my life, but never, ever a fish sandwich and especially not from a fast food place. I decided to take a bite. So bad. I failed at dinner. Why did I not check my bag before leaving? Why? And of all the wrong things they could have given me, why the fish? I would have eaten almost anything else.
Well at least I got my fries and that is what I really wanted anyway. Guess I should try to find some protein. There is protein in chocolate ice cream right?
