Me
Dear Husband
When: May 31 – June 4
May 30, 2007: I’m up early. My plan is to get to the office early and get out of the office early. Although I’ve planned this before, my track record for success is nil. For once, this strategy actually works! Usually, it’s quite easy to get in early; not so easy to get out again!
Promptly at 6:30 a.m., I hit the button on the Southwest web site and up pops “A” boarding passes. I’d be a much bigger fan of Southwest if they’d just move to assigned seats so I wouldn’t have to go through this!
I arrive home before my DH. When he arrives, we do a last check of the house and out the door we go. :car: As we drive down a road not far from our home, I comment on how it should be Monday before we drive down that road again. Wrong!
About 20 minutes from home, DH realizes he left his sneakers in the family room at home and still has his dressier, office shoes on his feet! Oops! At least our flight doesn’t leave for another 13 hours!
Suddenly, however, instead of my nice, pleasant Prince Charming of a spouse, I find myself sitting in an automobile with Grumpy! I tell him it’s okay but it takes the retrieval of his sneakers, a few munched crackers (He’s hungry), and getting under way again before Grumpy leaves and Happy takes his place!
Traffic isn’t as bad as expected so it’s not long before we’re checked in to the hotel and the car is parked for the duration of our trip. We drop our bags in our room and head directly to the restaurant for dinner. I had a really good veal dish here in January and am hoping to order it again tonight. I’m disappointed to find it’s not on the menu now. Oh well! We order potato skins for an appetizer and they are very yummy!
We’re not as lucky with our entrees. I order a salmon which is okay but a bit dry. DH orders a steak which he says is good but a little overdone. All in all, we had a much better dinner here in January.
After dinner, we stop in the lounge for a drink before returning to our room. We’re in bed by 9:30 :sheep:[with the alarm set for 3:45 a.m. as well as a request for a wake up call at the same time.
