What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

we go down to Chicago probably five or six times a year, so let me know if you're there, too - we can have an OH meetup! The other Mike lives in Chicago, too!

Matt, Amber, Skaleskater (haven't heard from him in ages). Probably more that I'm forgetting.

oh yea - Matt. Not Mike. Sorry!! I had my mind on other things.. I'd forgotten about Skaleskater. Boy - that's been ages. Amber's one of my FB friends, but she rarely posts. Either that, or she just doesn't show up on my newsfeed very often.

That would be great!

Good morning everyone from, looks around...a hotel near JFK not the flight between Amsterdam and Helsinki! Much flight turmoil, not weather related, and I will be continuing my trek to Helsinki this afternoon with the sight seeing route of jfk to Detroit to Paris to Helsinki. As of right now, I'll just be a day behind and we had planned two days before we headed to Kaplan just in case of weather issues so all is fine.

you can really see people's bad behavior when travel goes wrong, from people throwing a fit that they didn't get upgraded to first class to angry men yelling because their toddler peed on the flight that was delayed 90 minutes, poor kid made it all the way to the descent. I made a real effort to not be annoyed with the people trying to help me, I don't believe any of them started the electrical fire that led to yesterdays chaos, lol.

Todays exercise will Be a lot of airport walking, hopefully with no need for OJ style sprinting though.

food will be protein bars, coffee, and plane food. With so many flights I will have several two packs of the yummy biscoff cookies.

qotd - I loved my easy bake oven, my flip over doll my nana gave me and books, all the books

here is a different photo of my shamrocks/flower and a picture of my snowy yard for Teenie, since it's now officially photo Friday!

I love kids and hate people who get angry at sharing a flight with them.

I may have made a point to tell the mom if the peeing toddler that her son behaved better than adults on the plane, while staring directly at her angry husband. Passive agressive, I know, but also 100% accurate!

Safe Travels - travel delays are an inconvenience, you have the right mindset, only worry about what we can control. I unuderstand that travel does cause many folks high levels of anxiety...but does not excuse the behavior

Exactly!

Oh, here's a happy NSV, years ago I was forced to gate check my bag and spent the whole way from Phoenix to Morocco convinced I would not have any clothes and that I was too big to easily find any there. Today, although I would like my belongings to show up, I am confident that I will find options in Finland if push comes to shove and that's not an anxiety that I'm dealing with!
