Like a chicken with its head cut off
That's how I'm running around these days.
Do other people use that expression? I use all sorts of normal FamilyH phrases that no one else does. Huh.
Anyway, back to my craziness. I have today and tomorrow to get crap done here and at home. At least the cat care coordination is all set. Yay! After that, I suppose all is easy.
I had a rough start this morning because I had a great time last night. Original Airplane Boyfriend was in town so we went out with some of my gal pals to tear up Old Town Scottsdale.
I met OAB in 2004 when I was on my way to Peru via Miami and he was on his way to party with friends in South Beach. For someone who is always in the air, he said I was the first cool person he ever sat next to on an airplane. Aww. It was great to catch up (we haven't seen each other in a year) and he dangled a couple of trips in front of me (he has flight benefits) that I would be all over - except I'm out of vacay days for the year. DAMMIT!
As as been noted before, I have great luck meeting great people on airplanes. Sure, there was the skeevy guy trying to feel up my leg. Ugh. But then there are super fun guys like OAB and my friend John (Hi, John! *waves*).
I wonder what fun awaits when I hit the friendly skies again on Monday!

Yesterday I was like a chicken running around with its head cut off - and I said so. But our original states were only one Wisconsin away from touching, so maybe it's a regional thing.
Wow. I hadn't misread that statement, but as soon as I saw Val's interpretation of it, my mind went straight to the gutter too...
Yep! I do use expressions like that also. And my parents used to live on a farm, so unfortunately, they used to tell me stories about examples of stuff like that...

Have a good & safe trip Amy!
lol@ "one Wisconsin away"!
Ditto what BA said. Also "a one-armed paperhanger" I believe is a MamPants fave and a newer one I heard via the intarwebs
and a new fave
a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.
you and your airplane boyfriends. *sigh*
Also, swinging dead cats! :)
Hooray for romances in mid-air! (well, I never had one, but I'm sure it'ud be fun! Keep up the good work, Amy!
I love the 'one Wisconsin away'. I'm so using that next time I can. It reminds me of another thing I heard not too long ago, but doesn't really apply here, but it was still funny to me. Someone wrote a letter to the editor of the local paper making the case for support of arts and culture because without it, "we would just be a hot Utah."
And as for your interpretation, I'm not going to correct you. ;-)
I always get Sweaty Guy. Or Chatty Old Lady With Kids in Many States. Or Woman Who Hasn't Flown in 22 Years.
Or Kid Flying Alone.
Never Hot Girl.
Great, now I'm looking at my comment and no, that doesn't mean 'in-flight benefits' either.
I think I had better end it there before I make things worse for myself! *slaps own hand*
Poor Jay. I'll have stretches where I only fly next to screaming babies. I think that's the universe leveling things out for all my other good luck.
Your time will come. You just need to fly more often!
