Can you tell....

that Mom will be out of town this weekend? This is part of the grocery store haul today so LM and her dad will have a kitchen stocked with contraband. Got these goodies along with some Wonder bread, ham & salami. Yum!! They will be dancing a jig when I head off to the airport today. Hopefully they'll miss me some, too.

I am headed to my sister's where we will dine on salad, fruit & whole wheat. Much more to my liking, thank you. She has a Christmas lunch each year with her friends and their moms at the Sundance resort, one of my most favorite places. It is beautiful there and very peaceful. We have even run into Robert Redford there (literally, we were driving along the road and he was running towards us. We stopped in plenty of time for a 'hi' and a smile.) This is my first year at the Christmas lunch & I am quite excited.

We decided to fly instead of endure the 8+ hour drive, although we really only save a couple of hours with a 2 hr drive to the airport and arriving 2 hours early. But I'd rather let someone else do the driving (flying). Our flight appears to be oversold. Yippee. I am sure there is some logical reason why this is done but it seems to happen more & more these days. NO, I don't want to give up my seat & hang at the Las Vegas airport for 2 more hours just to get a free ticket. Even with a Starbucks at every turn. The novelty of the slot machines was gone long ago (does anyone ever win anything at the airport?) No, I just want to get on my plane and head north to the snow white covered hills and eat my salad...
