On the Road Again........
Hertz....Oldsmobile Alero...beige...absolutely no pickup. I think it IS my father's Olds, who are they kidding?
We have the same room we had 2 weeks ago....except 2 pillows are missing and they haven't replaced the wire roll out laundry bin under the sink as yet. ( notice I didn't say the pillows went missing)
I won the security lottery yesterday at the airport...I got the big red S on my bording pass which means I was subject to full search. Whoopee...of course Monday mornings are when we carry-on our suitcases instead of check them soooooooo that meant it had to be opened. You'd think he could put things back the way he found them...they did fit before he mucked with them. I showed him where my things went and he had to make a snotty comment about how tightly I had packed. Excuse me...it's not enough that I do whatever I can to avoid having those people search me but now I have to pack in such a way to make their jobs easier too? I think not.
We went out to dinner last night to a Cajun food place with another pair of consultants. Tim dumped a half a bottle of tobasco sauce into his gumbo complaining it just wasn't Hot enough...hhhmmm. One of the stip malls on the way back had a place called Simple Tribute Funeral and Cremation Services..in a strip mall? with neon? surrounded by a Subway and a Nail Salon? Sometimes it's better I do the driving so I don't see places like this.
I can't believe all the celebrities who are dying lately...Katharine Hepburn, Buddy Hackett, Barry White, Buddy Ebsen.........sigh...One of the guys last night couldn't place Buddy Ebsen...Beverly Hillbillies didnt' mean much to him and certainly Davy Crockett's sidekick was before his time....sigh.

Do you think that means you are supposed to get your nails done before being creamated? Maybe they give a discount... Be sure to put the dirty clothes on top, that might make the search quicker next time...L

I made the mistake of putting a small little sewing kit with a itsy bitsy tiny pair of scissors in Allyson's suitcase on our way to NYC and she was pulled into an area to be searched. I was already helping my poor Mom, who is loaded with metal and pulled into a different area. I yelled out that they could keep the scissors and return the teen if she passed the attitude check. Allyson was not pleased with me. Teens just don't come with a sense of humor anymore :)
