In unfortunate news, I just found out that the ultra budget airline Skybus has folded and therefore we cannot go visit my sister next weekend. Bah!
I just ran into a friend's girlfriend who was planning a trip to SC from New Hampshire. Got up this morning to find a sign on the hotel desk saying that her flight was postponed until NEVER.
She seems pretty easygoing about it. "Matter of time."
ION, the word sanguine does not mean what I want it to mean. Which is annoying. I believe I must have heard it used incorrectly at the moment I became enamored with it and have steadfastly refused, since then, to accept the truth of its not being what I want it to be-ness.
This whinge brought to you by the letters P, M & S, with not so much of the P.
What is that you want "sanguine" to mean?
amych I wanted to call to cancel because it is raining and I am a chicken, but mr. flea is on the phone and mocked me when I suggested it. What do you think?
What is that you want "sanguine" to mean?
Since you asked!
I want it to mean 'good naturedly accepting.' Turns out naturedly is not a word either, so I'm losing all around today.
Still, sort of 'relaxed in the blood'. As in, not blood boiling, nor cold blooded, but tepid with a smile blood.
eta: Kind of like Jason Dohring's character on Moonlight...in a way even I find difficult to understand. Blood with a boyish smile.
That's not really wrong, bonny. Sanguine can mean cheerful and optimistic, and is usually used in phrases like "He is sanguine about the results." It comes from the old doctrine of humours, like choleric and melancholic.
I feel bad for anyone who took skybus somewhere and now is stuck trying to find a way home, though!!
yes, we were relieved that we were at least at home when this happened... could have been worse, and with us and Skybus... it has been.
Could someone please send me the tax fairy? I don't think I can go on.
Also, the dog just discovered that her bed is essentially a giant stuffed toy. This cannot end well.
Did I mention it's my birthday today? My awesome brother arranged for SIL and I to go to a spa. I had an hour long massage that felt great and I still feel great! (I usually get sore afterwards.) She also showed me to pressure techniques to reduce the pubic symphysis aching that I have from being pregnant. And, I got a nap! And both kids are sleeping and I'm browsing the internet! What a great birthday!
