HUGE fan of Band of Brothers and WWII movies in general.  This looks like it’s going to be pretty epic.

This looks pretty amazing. Excited for it’s release.

Table Talk

  • Set Up: the family is discussing a portrait of my grandmother painted when she was in her forties.
  • Ali: Wow, that is some DEC-o-tage.
  • Amy: Wait... Isn't it DECAllatage?
  • Mom: No! It's Dec-COLL-atage.
  • Amy: Isn't that what I said?
  • Ali: No, you said DECAllatage.
  • Amy: Well, maybe we should just settle for buxom.
  • Mom: Or we could just call it cleavage.
  • Amy: Breasts?
  • Ali: Boobies!!!
  • Dad: Hooters.
  • Amy: We digress.

Mile High?

  • Jack: Cool. I think the couple I was sitting next to may have had sex on the flight.
  • Me: I don't even know how you would do that?
  • Jack: It may or may not have happened.

Airport Security: Bobby Pin Edition

  • I efficiently unpack my computer, place my boots/purse/jacket in the tub, send my stuff through the conveyor belt, side step my way to the metal detector, ticket in hand...
  • Security Man: (waves me through)
  • Me: Confidently walks through detector, ticket outstretched... when the alarm beeps. I'm puzzled, as I'm wearing leggings and a sweater and not much jewelry...
  • Security Man: Please try again, ma'am. Oh. And can you remove your headband?
  • Me: Questioningly removes headband... walks through detector again, only to set it off.
  • Security Man: (looks at me with annoyance) Do you have clips in your hair?
  • Me: Yes?
  • Security Man: How many?
  • Me: Eight... or so?
  • Security Man: (disgusted sigh) Ugh, just go on.
  • Me: Thanks...

Beware, Holiday Travelers

It’s Monday afternoon and already the airport is packed. It’s teeming with crazy people trying to get to their families and angrily exclaiming about the state of modern transportation. My flight has been delayed, then told we were boarding then told there were “techincal” issues that needed to be addressed. It looks as though the Thanksgiving Holiday Madness has begun. All I really want to do is get back to Atlanta and make the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies on Katie’s blog. And maybe take a nap.

Nothing says “Good Morning, Friday!” like a decaf skinny hazelnut latte.
