Sailing Sailing, over the ocean way...
That's not how the song goes, but you know what I mean...I'm sailing over the ocean this evening, although I have to be at the airport at 12:30 so Brian can get into work, which means a LONG day at the airport(s) for me, but whatever, right? I have the paperback of Harry Potter 6 (the first copy was accidentally plunged into the fountain at the mall last night and sunk to the bottom...so sad)...I have 4 skeins of cotton and some wood knitting needles, so I can knit a few more washcloths (small skeins of cotton take up less spaces than large balls of wool - I'm packin' light)...I have loads of bracelets that I found in a box full of jewelry, and I'm taking spare beads and sample beads and a few tools, even tho I was told I didn't need to...
Amazingly, my suitcase is quite light, just a few shirts and a pair of jeans...so if I have to stuff my carryon into it while flying from London to Hamburg, I can do that (the UK has a restriction on the size of the carryon, and I might be slightly larger than they like)..but that flight is a short one, its the transatalntic one that I need my entertainment...I wish I could sleep on the flight, but i've never been able to sleep on a plane, even with ear plugs and eye masks...booo...
Poor Steve Irwin, I'm so sorry to hear that he died...He was one of the good guys, educating kids to the benefits of wildlife, not the benefits of croc purses and boots...
Gah...I can't take my Burt's Bees lip balm with me on the carry on...boo...guess I'll pack that in my checkon...I'm gonna need that on the flight...
It hasn't rained here in ages, and so guess what - today its raining...the day I need to fly, it decides to rain...although its not much rain..and hopefully by 3:00 it'll be done...it shoulda rained all weekend, but no...it has to wait till today...
Our next door neighbor in Austin said she's seen lots of folks driving by the house slowly, and some have gone inside for a look and she even talked to one guy who thought the shop in the back was an apartment (hey, make it into whatever you want! get roommates to help offset the cost of rent!)...But no one is leaving calling cards, so we have no idea who's coming thru...And our agent is rather prickly about me being upset that someone left the sliding glass door wide open - she's making it clear that its OUR responsiblity to check the house for that...geez...WE don't leave the thing wide open, WE know how to close and lock the door...There are two new Giant Swallowtail caterpillars on the orange tree in the back, we've been watching them grow fat and sassy...they're pretty funny...
Alrighty then, I'll be back with candies and goodies before you know it...can't wait...See ya'll then...
