That is sickening. I would have thrown a fucking fit. I also can't believe that people on the plane wouldn't have moved around to help you out if the stewardesses would have just asked.<br />Blargh.

Your texts really made me feel loved and cared for. I'm lucky you're my cousin.<br />Secondly, if you need a partner in crime for your life list:<br />1. I love TMLMTBGB! I used to see it once a month in my early 20s. I will totally go see it again with you :)<br />2. I've always wanted to learn how to sew! I even took an adult ed. sewing class, but I was pretty bad. I could stand to start over.<br />3. I think I wandered through here during "the goth years" but I'd love to go again. I took an anthropology class in college that required me to find genealogy patterns in cemeteries. I've had a fondness for them ever since.<br />4. I've never done this either and I really want to!<br />5. You're on your own here - I am so not creative in visual arts. Much better with music.<br /><br />Maybe this summer??Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849747631475066797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224677553036917009.post-15964241810031244602010-11-07T05:33:55.933-08:002010-11-07T05:33:55.933-08:00hahahha- sounds like a very romantic vacation.hahahha- sounds like a very romantic vacation.Julie Spanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13608946312393374964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224677553036917009.post-60418929137292985072010-11-08T13:06:27.713-08:002010-11-08T13:06:27.713-08:00did you happen to purchase this cooking class on g...did you happen to purchase this cooking class on groupon? you're so groupon :)Julie Spanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13608946312393374964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224677553036917009.post-75919519747768491042010-11-08T19:17:28.620-08:002010-11-08T19:17:28.620-08:00-- what a great inspiration!
