Dear Barn Cat

Aka- Aunt Pat,

Being the superstitious bird I am, I took down my Vegas vacation trip, photos. I didn't know sight seeing was "this BIG secret" so wanting to make a safe flight home, I quickly removed my photo shoot. By doing so the Vegas "Gods" rewarded me, with being seated, smack dab in the middle of two (TWIN) Australian soccer players. I was a little anxious with a middle seat (who me, anxiety on a plane?) Until this fine lad sat down next to the window, and I said "I was starting to think, I'd have this entire aisle all to myself, to which he replied (Thick) Australian accent "Oh my team mate, is on his way" Enter the even tanner, bluer eyes, of the two, I said "team mate, I think I just spotted your doppelgänger! Get your camera phone"- they laughed. And I enjoyed my best plane ride yet. Between two twin hunks! Thanks for warning about the Vegas rules, maybe you're next flight will be of that caliber.

(Don't tell...)

So long, lonesome

I leave for Vegas tomorrow afternoon, and I AM ready to get this show on the road. The only thing is, I am flying.  The cards are always stacked against me when I take flight. I'm afraid of heights, closed spaces, and not having control. So all of the things I have going against myself when I fly, is D all of the above. I guess not having control should be okay in this scenario (Though I personally would feel better if my life were in my own hands, I might have trouble landing the plane.)

However, what does amuse me, is the music that soothes my nerves when I fly. I use my laptop en route en air'go, so the name of the band is written clear across my computer screen. One of my top five bands, Explosions in the Sky, a post-rock band with distinct chiming guitars, is my go-to flying partner. I put my ear phones in, and let their lyric free music coast me. Looking like a psycho path with the name "Explosions in the Sky" written across my computer screen, probably doesn't soothe the poor soul sitting next to me on the flight.

Ah well, see ya in Vegas!

"But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman... S-T-A-U-N-C-H. There's nothing worse, I'm telling you. They don't weaken, no matter what."- Little Eddie


A year ago today, I decided to drive my life across country to Alabama. That lasted a whole two months, but Meadow sure had a great trip.

Cold Cold Ground

We've had two huge snow storms this week, which is why I've decided to spend my weekend sleeping. So if you're looking for an exciting tale of red walls or cats blow drying their hair, you'll have to hit the backspace button. But I will leave you with a picture of when this city was much warmer, and the streets were bustling with people.
