Secure Gallons of Milk

Yesterday, after I passed through security I noticed the two "carry ons" that had passed through before me. Several thoughts followed:

*Sir, I think that is more than 3.4 ounces
*I never thought that everything that goes into the airport passes through security. It must take a long time to stock the stores.
*I am glad to see that both non-fat and 2% are offered in the cafe
*Definitely the strangest thing I have seen go through security

Sleeping On Flights

You would think with all the flights I take that I would sleep with no problem on a plane. Well, that isn't the case. I think I have may have napped on 5 flights my entire life, 3 of which were when I was pregnant and the 2 others were red eyes.

Here are some tips on how to sleep (from a flight attendant over at Yahoo):

-the window seat is the best choice if you actually want to sleep
-visit the restroom before trying. Don't be woken up by a full bladder
-eye shades
-WAX ear plugs.
-ONE glass of wine. You can try beer but wine, from both experience and medical research, works better. Alcohol makes you sleepy but too much can keep you awake or disrupt what sleep you get. Plus, remember the restroom tip above!-
Buy a bottle of water *after* security and bring it on board. It wont be allowed past security so wait till you're through that. Keep it in your seat pocket and then, if you wake up thirsty, you wont have to climb out of your seat or flag down a F/A to get a drink. Take a sip and go back to slumber land.
-Bring some sort of pain killer. Don't have a slight headache or sore back keep you awake. Normally, I'm not a big pill popper and I'm happy to carry on without but heck, you don't fly every day! Give yourself a break and at least bring them with, even if you don't need them.

The 5 times I slept I was on the window seat.....

This was the scene today on my flight from Birmingham to Phoenix:

The Kim Show-Episode 2

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! (Flashback Friday (21))

Today, we flashback one year ago today! Elizabeth is the cutest little girl! I wonder what Becca would say if we asked her a year ago how tired she would be next October? I promise that Sydney's best friend will be sleeping better a year from now. Happy 1st Birthday, Elizabeth! We love you! (P.S. I am really sorry that I am going to miss your party this weekend.)

Secret Agent Man (Part 2)

So....I know you have all been dying to know.

He had a banana and a plastic to-go container. In the plastic to-go container there was a piece of what appeared to be banana bread in aluminum foil. He did the following:

(1) ate the banana bread
(2) put the to-go container back in the briefcase
(3) took out the banana
(4) locked the briefcase
(5) ate the banana.

ODD

Happy Anniversary Becca and Jason!!!!

Congratulations on 8 great years!

Secret Agent Man (Part 1)

This morning Sydney and I were sitting alone at Starbucks when this man (note photo below) came in, placed his briefcase next to the chair and went to order his drink. I was looking at the briefcase and then wondered if it could be a suitcase bomb. When he came back what would I do if he opened it and I saw what looked like a bomb inside?

So after the man orders his drink he comes back (with his drink so it must have been a coffee of the day) , sets it down and puts the briefcase on his lap. The briefcase is locked with a combination and as he begins to enter the combination I wonder, "If there actually is a bomb inside since I am Wonder Woman, what should I do?". (I think the answer is definitely run) The briefcase opens up and there are two items inside. Any guesses on what they are?

Oil Independence-Thanks Long Beach

Every time I am in Long Beach I think the Oil Wells are funny. They are in the most random locations. Yesterday, I was taking a different route and saw one in the center court of what looked like an apartment building, on the next block there was one well on each corner, but my favorite was this one:

















Thank you city of Long Beach for your part in reducing our dependence on foreign oil. :)

Pierre Cardin's New Line

Really...... Jane is the only person I know that could pull this crap off.

My New Retirement Plan

After looking at my JP Morgan 401K today, I have decided that I should consider Retirement Plan #2: (Thanks Jeff)

Happy Birthday, Dora!

While everybody plays, look who is working! You deserve a break! Hope it's a great day!

The Chair Manager

The other day I was walking through the Phoenix office and while I have seen these chairs there before this time I stated to Dora "If I was the Chair Manager, that wouldn't be allowed".

Let's Find Out!

Yesterday, we went to Joshua's 3rd birthday party. That was after Joshua had the flu (Thursday) and Sydney got the flu (Friday) and before I got the flu....and Becca and Jason....yikes!

As usual, Joshua was just so darn cute. When he was opening his first present Matt asked him what do you that is? Joshua responded "Let's find out" and then proceeded to open the present. This was a theme and every time someone said "I wonder what that is", "What could be in that box" they received the same response "Let's Find Out!"

Happy 3rd Birthday, Joshua!!!!

You are my favorite boy in the whole world!!!!

5th Place Sucks

You can try to convince me that 5th place is good but there is nothing special about 5th place, it might as well be last place.

1st place is the winner (Usually that is where the "best" person would go)
2nd place is good
3rd place is good
4th place is honorable mention
5th place is nada

There is nothing funny about coming in 5th. If you are going to tell someone that they came in 5th-don't, if they can't be a winner than make up something like Alice did so that everyone feels special.
