Understanding House Mate and I returned from our Down East vacation late last night. 5 days, 4 nights, 6 planes, 2 cabs, and 2 whale watching boats - only one flight gave us any trouble, the last flight home - of course! We were about an hour later returning though so, I thank my lucky stars.
UHM indulged in an orgy of lobster while we were there. She had lobster every day - sometimes twice a day. Lobster rolls, lobster bisque, lobster cocktail, whole lobster and, the only one that got a thumbs down, lobster ice cream. She has vowed never again to eat lobster south of Virginia, unless she orders it herself and it arrives the next day, as fresh from the ocean as possible. Actually, I think that is the only way she will ever eat lobster, unless she's actually in New England again.
I didn't end up buying the raisin-colored skirt I mentioned in the previous post. It was a shade too long. Thanks to those who suggested having pockets sewn into the dress I did get. Unfortunately, it is a lighter weight jersey knit and pretty slimline so there's really no room for pockets. I'll make do with the arm band or cheek pouch.
Speaking of bait....for those who like to use bait bags, I found a very cool one in Maine. It's got a magnetic flap closure so you don't end up w/bait flying out of the bag - if you use it for agility. The website is www.woofhoof.com.
So now we prepare for Miss Georgia's arrival on Saturday. Her first duty as a Horde member will be to cheer for the Wisconsin Badgers during their home opener. Her sweeps picture arrived while we were gone. I've taken it to work to scan will post it shortly.
The best part about coming back from this vacation is, I only have to work 2 1/2 days this week and then 4 days next week. Three short work weeks in a row but w/full paychecks! YES!
