When the Cat's Away....

...the mouse makes pancakes for breakfast and buys huge blueberry muffins at the market for tomorrow morning's treat.

Yes, well. That's what he gets for booking a 6:00 am flight and absolutely destroying my sleep last night. I swear I woke up continually, just waiting for that alarm to go off at 3:00. And of course, once it did go off, I couldn't just roll over and go back to sleep while Eric showered and clunked around in the bathroom. No. I stayed awake, gave my good-bye hugs in the kitchen, and subsequently lay awake in bed until past 4:30.

I mean, who in their right mind books a 6:00 am flight for a pleasure trip? Those are the flights meant for "have-to's," like unexpected funerals and mandatory business meetings.

And leaving the country quickly because you've committed a crime.

Ugh. If I can make it to 7:00 this evening without crashing, I'll be amazed.

Know what will happen then? Eric will forget the two-hour time difference and call me on my cell phone. You wait and see.

Ranting aside, I really have had a good day. I got another request for material from an agent, I got my laundry room thoroughly cleaned, I got a good deal on a pair of maternity capris on Ebay ($5.oo, new with tags -- who could beat it?). And to top it all off, it's warm and sunny and breezy and absolutely SPRING. A perfect "first day," in my opinion.

And the icing on the cake? Jonathan called me from Arizona. Yes, indeed! My fourteen-year-old sweetheart called his mama, just because he wanted to. He even said "I love you" before we hung up.

I'm in love with that boy.

With that, I'm off to finish making supper. Happy FIRST DAY OF SPRING (or FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN, as the case may be)!

Happy Spring! =) I miss spring. It's always summer here in the Philippines. Summer is great. But summer every single day of every single year can get boring.

I'm one of those nuts who enjoys early flights. They aren't so busy and you almost never have to wait for anything...seriously. Another bonus, if you do happen to run into problems with connecting flights, you have more options with earlier flights. It's true. I'm with Eric... plus I can get up at 3:00 AM and be as perky as if I got up at 7:00 AM. It drives Greg MAD!!!!!!

After all that you've accomplished today, you deserve your first nap of the season!!

I'm with Leese on the early flight. The earlier you leave, the earlier you arrive, the more time you get to spend at your destination. So what are Eric and Jonathan going to do in Arizona? And how come they big boys didn't take Spencer along with them?

p.s. this is Snickle btw

OK, Leese and Snickle...you're both nuts. LOL

They went fishing this morning, and this afternoon they were supposed to go to some museum somewhere. Eric's parents live out there, which is where they are staying.
