Twas the night before BlogHer and all through my house there was packing and cursing thank God no mouse. * The flasks were filled in the kitchen with care In hopes that Mr. Lady would sure want to share. * The Kaiser was passed out all sprawled in HIS bed While visions of shoe shopping danced in my head.

Advice for Flying
Historically I have some wicked bad anxiety over flying. It’s so bad that I’ve convinced myself many times that if I get over my anxiety that the plane will fall out of the sky. (It’s a phobia, it’s supposed to be irrational.) I was sitting in the airport with my Dad several years ago and commented on my anxiety. He was shocked to hear it because he LOVED to fly,.. Read More

Why air travel sucks
1. Southwest airlines. Used to love ’em now they are crackerfied. 2. Inconsistent verification. Took birth certificate with us to Houston – no one wanted to see it. So we didn’t bring it this time. Got lectured that we need to have it. Too bad, it’s 70 miles away from us. 3. TSA. Apparently I can be stripped of all metal and the concern is my kid’s faux crocs. Must.. Read More
