The prep for this international trip is the most clusterfucky of any trip I've ever gone on. Part of it is we are just too damn busy, and part of it is the power outage of Thursday which turned into the still ongoing internet outage of today. AT&T's website to report service down gives a 404 error, mr. flea spent 15 minutes on the phone with them and never got to a person, and we're leaving at noon, and my mother does not know how to reboot a router, and I can't leave her without internet for a week!
Like, we're in Dunkin Donuts on free wifi paying bills that will come due while we're gone. At 7am. ARGH! I did not want to be doing this today!
I slept in! OK, so it was only 7, but that's the first time in over a week and I'm running a monsterous sleep deficit. Now, to market, leaves/propeller things and shop.
Pffft. I have paid no attention whatsoever to hockey up to this point, but now I am apparently obligated to become a rabid fan.
Hey, it's the first time we've been to a Cup Final in a couple of decades, unless you count Bruins West in 2001 (aka. the Colorado Avalanche starring Ray Bourque).
Which I do.
If worse comes to worse, flea, I can drive to Athens and reboot a router or talk her through it on the phone.
Sorry about the clusterfuck.
Clusterfuck is not okay added stress! Flea, think of how nice it will be when you get to where you are going (at least).
And hee, Jesse, happy as I always am to encourage any budding hockey fan, I'm afraid Kat's Canucks are going to wipe the ice with the Bruins.
I love their sweaters! They are good colors and they have an orca. Favorite team for specious reasons. Which means they'll lose.
Argh, flea! That is totally clusterfucky. Good luck....
Kathy, Target often has cute dresses in the plus section, if you're looking for cheap, and don't need to be that fancy. And you're right that everything is sleeveless, which also makes me crazy -- maybe a shrug.
msbelle, did you try Drench when it came up here? [link] It's not speed, but is color-matching.
Good luck flea!
Halifax is getting its first Target...in 2013.
Good luck, flea!
Yay mac!!
I just did a google image search for hipster. Bwhahahahahaha!
Gotta go do yard work. Don't wanna.
Why does a thermos of tea make me jittery on Sat. mornings when the same amount doesn't on work days?
I bought pad thai at the market. That will be lunch and dinner. Possibly for 2 days. They are very generous.
