lessons learned.

• New heights of impatience reached this week. BEST. MOM. EVER.
• THE GRILL CAUGHT ON FIRE (and not in the normal way, there's no salvaging it). "So much fire!!!!"
• Everyone knows my feelings about how Utah just moves a holiday if it falls on a Sunday so the festivities won't be missed due to Sabbath observing. But I didn't think I had to worry about it this year - guess again. Stadium on Fire (or our family's 4th of July fireworks - cuz we ain't never actually been inside the Stadium) is on Saturday, not Monday. What the what? My guess is the "outrageous" entertainment they have lined up was A) too expensive or B) not available on the actual 4th. LAME. I guess we'll do our own fireworks this year.
• PG is into this weird claymation penguin show on Netflix, Pingu. It will blow your mine. Thanks Sweden.
• Found my retainer. Hallelujah.
• Its amazing the amount of restraint it takes to keep my mouth shut sometimes. Seriously.
• Apparently "leaving at the crack of dawn" means leaving at 11:30am to my parents (sounds about right actually). But DUDE mom, will you ever get here?

corduroy

Shopping for a bridesmaid dress on Amazon (don't ask). Found this beauty under "Blue" and "Special Occasion" search topics. I think I'm sold - turtleneck and all.

Also - what the?

Dear Delta....

Yes. I'm writing yet again about how much I hate your airline. I'm not going to bore you with the details. But I do want to say that I have never had a pleasant experience with you. Whether its your inevitably delayed/cancelled flights, unfriendly customer service or your overpriced uncomfortable seats....seriously, NEVER had a good experience with you. And we've given you multiple chances to redeem yourself.

Bottom line we (or in 100% of our cases, work or other's who have booked tickets for us because we will never personally purchase tickets from you) are paying for a service, its not as though you're doing us a favor. I understand there will be problems, especially with so many unpredictable factors (mechanical errors, weather, crazy passengers etc - although these factors seem to affect you more than other airlines.....). With that said, we are paying for you to get us from point A to point B - its your job. And I'd like to assume that part of your job is being efficient and treating your customers respectfully like other airlines, but apparently I'm wrong.

And I know its not only me. Get your act together, or you'd better watch yo'self.

Regards,

Sarah

• D is finally on U.S. soil again. No thanks to you, Delta. Oh yes - you get a whole post on how much I hate you in a few days.
• Presents from China? Awesome. Well done D. Well done.
• Its amazing how my house can go from 1 million people to just me in a matter of minutes. Always sad to see people go.
• How many chicken nuggets will it take before my children turn into one?
• Sometimes if your dog craps repeatedly in my teensie yard, I may be inclined to pile it on your back porch. Just sayin'
• I can't find my retainer. Do NOT tell my mom....Or my orthodontist.
• Nordstroms - Saturday was a mistake. I don't think we should see each other anymore.

Well folks. I am alive. Just thought you should know.

• Dear China - you've had D for about 2 weeks. I think its my turn.
• If my 1 year old is screaming because I put her down to address a package at the post office and you're a large lumbering (albiet nice) older gentleman who decides to pick her up and stick your equally large lumbering bearded face in hers, I assure you her now astronomically loud screams are 100% your fault. But thank you for switching me, and addressing said package after 5 minutes of said screaming.
• Apparently our 1 year old little girl can out eat anyone in this house. SERIOUSLY WHERE DOES IT ALL GO?
• No matter if I want them or not, I can eat no less than 3 Oreos in one sitting....3.
• If you see a blonde little boy walking around the neighborhood in heels, make no mistake...Its PG. Apparently we need to reconsider the childproof doorknobs.
• St. George is bee-you-tee-fulllll......We shall meet again soon I'm sure.
