1. One day last week I spent a good amount of time chatting with not ONE, not TWO, but THREE long lost friends. Two moved from our fair city so long ago that it is ridiculous how much it still haunts me. While the other moved only a year or so ago, but it too feels like a lifetime. One of them indicated they might be moving back. What? Say it is so.
2. Did I tell you? I did not cooking one.blasted.thing. for Thanksgiving. Thanks to our fancy cook of a friend, Nicole, our entire dinner was catered. It was scrumptious. Although I do miss left overs and the savory smells from cooking a turkey.
3. In October Adam and I went to Nova Scotia. Adam was attending a conference, which equated to a really nice free hotel room, so I went along. My girlfriend Carrie was looking for someone to watch her two girlies while she and her husband went to London a week later, so we did a little switcharoo and while I was in Nova Scotia she watched my kids and while she was in London I watched her kids. It was great and I'm sure we will plan on doing it again.
While Adam and I were waiting in the airport for our flight to Nova Scotia we heard another gate agent announce these items over the PA system:
"Even if your bag has fit on every plane since the dawn of time, if it doesn't fit in the carry on checker we will have to check it."
"You are only allowed 2 carry on bags. If you have three we will confiscate one and sell it on ebay."
He spelled the word FIRST. Twice.
"If your expanded zipper is anything like my belt, it must fit in the carry on checker without you jumping on it."
Having worked in the airline industry I was a little shocked. However, he did it with such ease and self deprecation, it wasn't really offensive at all.

a sense of humor is MOST needed at airports
I know that #3 is your lie. While the idea of kid swapping works for a night out, it gets much harder for extended vacations.
I can't guess, but want to know which ones the lie.
I think one and two are true. And you did go to Nova Scotia. So maybe part of three or the rumor that someone is moving back to Dallas. Whatever, it was good to talk to you. Ruth
Who is moving back???? I am so excited and I don't even know who it is!
(Is the lie that you had a great time watching my kids and that you will ever even CONSIDER watching them again?)
Kaycee- you are one to talk. Remember when you recklessly extended your vacation to Washington DC while we were watching your bundle of joy. Adam and I wondered if you were ever coming home.
I'm glad to see humor in the Airline Industry. I remember years ago a flight attendant telling about the safety things made the comment that "this plane can land on water, however, it can only do it once." She said a lot of other funny things but I can't remember. I'm thinking #1 is your lie and I know you did have fun with the 2 girls or was that a fib you told your mother?
THEY'RE ALL LIES!
Oh yes, I greatly appreciate anyone with a sense of humor at the airport. It sucks the life out of me.
