Sorry I've been such a crazy slacker! I was on vacation for a little over a week and prior to that I was getting ready for my vacation and mentally planning my sister's graduation party! So I was busy! Then while I was bored and sitting in airports I tried to do an update via my blog app and the bloody thing refused to work. *sigh* Technology is my enemy sometimes.... 'most' times. Here it goes...
Our flight from hell...
Need I really say more? Our flight from Phoenix into Detroit of course would include a thunderstorm which I swear gave the pilots license to do quick nose dives to their heart's content which caused the entire plane to literally scream. Yes, SCREAM. I will say, after this experience, that is the absolute worst sound you could possible hear while flying. Aside from the horrific turbulence. I have made a firm decision that I really never want to die in a plane crash.... It was the longest 15 solid minutes of horror I have ever experienced... oh wait, no it wasn't because it happened AGAIN over Kansas (I believe)
Once we landed in the lovely (Ha) state of Michigan it was a downpour outside! But we made it alive and only slightly traumatized, though I admit I have nightmares for 2 days about dying. Lovely. Our flight attendant was amazing, though. Seriously lovely Texan woman who was just the sweetest lady. I am definitely fond of South West airlines and plan to fly with them every time.
While in Michigan:
I got home on a Wednesday night, snuggled my dog and chatted with my nocturnal brother and sister. The following day jet lag was insane and I swear we were exhausted for days! I started working on my sister's party stuff. We made garlands and blew up balloons. I made 100 cupcakes complete with fancy frosting (because I'm crazy) all in the all it turned out really good! The colors all worked great and my sister had a good time. The party provided me with a cheating way to see all my family, so I can't complain about that! I was able to introduce my husband to a family friend who is from Germany and she is just an incredible lady, we love talking to her. It was funny to see Danny's eye's light up when they were talking about traveling and this woman has an incredible life story. Seriously, one of my favorite people. haha
Our trip ended too soon with not enough relax time, but I think no matter how long of a vacation we had we wouldn't want to return to LA and work. haha Just the way it is! I think of a saying I've heard over the years.... "If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to want a glass of milk..."
Agreed. You give me a week off with my husband, I'm going to want 10 weeks off.
Flight back to LA...
Including another store, with more scary experiences, but we lived so I don't need to go into all those details. We ended up having to get a rental car because the jeep was in an off roading shop getting a lift and new tires and rims for my husband's 30th birthday! HE'S TURNING 30 IN 17 DAYS! Poor guy is so depressed. haha I think It's sexy. Men pull off 30's the best! I plan on getting a nice dinner from Boa and making him a mini birthday cake complete with a little decoration display; pretty excited about it.
Anyway, that is my personal life update... I hope everyone has been well over the last couple weeks! Check back soon, I'm back in the swing of things now so my updates will be more consistent until September (which is vacation number 2 to Maine)
Happy Monday, or whatever.... ;)
XO
