Just Like In The Movies

Whew! When we arrived at Richmond airport at 4pm, our 5pm flight was cancelled. Since the worst of the storm had not yet reached town and the next flight wasn't until 7:30 we decided not to hang around since that would probably be cancelled too. So we set out to drive. At 5:45 we weren't even to Fredericksburg due to poor road conditions, but Terry got the idea to abandon the drive in DC and take the train. I called from the car and reserved two seats on the 8pm Acela. We thought we could go 40 miles in two hours no problem. Then problem! We still weren't at the station at 7:30 but we were close. I was in heels so we made a plan that Terry would grab our bag and run to pick up the tickets and I would go right to the platform. I arrived as the train was boarding, and saw Terry running the length of the station to catch up. We jumped in, found a seat and sat down breathless. Then the train pulled out of the station. Just like in the movies.

Crazy Necklace

Isn't this necklace crazy cool? It was one of my many impulse purchases today (I also got a matching bracelet and ring).

Accessorize!

What a good day! Got a haircut, met a friend for lunch, then went shopping. I stopped in Glad Rags to find out what season consignments they're accepting, and wound up walking out wearing a necklace, bracelet, and pinky ring that all match my outfit perfectly. Very satisfying.

Now THIS is an Aisle Seat!

I prefer aisle seats, but I've never had a seat quite as *aisle* as this!

The Joke Becomes Reality.

Terry had asked me what I would do if the dirty laundry ever backed up all the way to the second floor. Well, it's no longer a theoretical question. I open the cabinet doors then gape in horror as I watch clothes falling, falling relentlessly from the chute in the ceiling towards my head. I try to close the doors to keep from being buried alive, but it is no use.The best I can do is hold the doors slightly shut and body block the torrent to keep it off the floor. Kids, don't try this at home! Sometimes I wonder exactly when did my lifeskills deteriorate to the point where doing laundry might actually kill me.
