Highlights of the holidays

[cjsmith]

* Getting partially undressed at San Jose International (I am always the "randomly" searched person) and getting to explain why the wand beeped over my right breast (yes, getting that piercing did hurt, what do you THINK?)

* Meeting crazyladynocats and Lisa in Indianapolis! That was GREAT!

* Eating at Waffle House every chance I got (Kentucky has these, unlike California and Massachusetts). Waffle House is yummy, albeit very unhealthy. Waffle on one, hash browns scattered well, three eggs scrambled with cheese...

* Fleeing one Waffle House because a smoker sat down upwind of me

* Touring Squire Boone Caverns for the first time

* Getting the contents of my carry-on luggage completely rearranged at Standiford Field (Louisville) while we waited for a luggage claim tag to arrive for Rob because our flights had also been completely rearranged

* Seeing my parents' house without either Pokey or Ginger :-(

* Meeting my sister's new kitty, Ripley 8-} 8-}

* Discovering immediately that Ripley's favorite string-chase toy has enough taper that it can be cracked like a whip

* Discussing the holiday madness with my folks and gaining agreement that yes, SOMEthing has to change

* Staying up until 2am talking first to my brother and then my sister

* Dancing C-3B at Lake Shore Farm in New Hampshire (wow!) and meeting lots of new people there

* Spending New Year's Eve with my folks and Rob and Debbie Ceder (square dance friend)

* Taking off my shoes in Logan International (Boston), having my purse searched, and getting lots of things swabbed for explosives

* Waiting in the longest security line I have ever seen in LAX

* Coming home to a wonderful pair of very very affectionate kitties :-) but no third kitty and no housemate :-(

It was good to see everybody, but it was long, and I'm very glad to be home!

She was bored? You must have left your leather pants at home.
