Hey, you forgot to mention me in your profile of airport residents (I saw you w/your computer but was very occupied)! I was the mom chasing the 2-year-old around the waiting area, while he twirled around posts, did chin-ups on barriers, and, occasionally, laid down on the floor in the middle of pedestrian traffic, taking off his shoes and socks and wailing. Ah, the joys of air travel with a toddler! (Meanwhile, you and your crew were bogarting the electrical sockets. We found one down the hall for video iPod “Dora” action, eventually.)

Kathryn,

This is my first time to your blog, but I can assure you it wont be my last. Your blog looks so cool and you are hilariously funny! I especially love how you described all the people in the airport, so true, so true. Anyway, I put you in my Daily Reads section, because I’m sure to be back often.

Please stop by my blog sometime if you get a chance! Thanks!

Haley

My children have picked up “sweet niblets!” and “tarter sauce!” from television and use them frequently. Also, my almost-eight-year-old has been heard to exclaim “Oh, shap!” on occasion. Clearly, we need to get rid of cable.

Oh man, not only did my flight get canceled, but the next flight was double booked… every friggen seat! It was a “computer glitch.” Uh huh. So I sat standby for hours and hours, finally made it back to New Mexico this late afternoon.

I had a great time at BlogHer, and very much enjoyed meeting you. Thanks for swapping cards with me. I look forward to reading more of your stuff! Big hugs!

Hey, I’m only 5 hours south of you…skip the plane & come hang out on the farm. I’ll even send you home with a chicken, puppy, and kitten for each of the kid-os. Talk about rockin’ souveiners!

Beauty Lovin’…yeah. Have to add that one to the vocab. It’s up there with G’ma yelling “Sugar Beets!” Or my personal fav. “Son of a motherless goat!” (thank you Three Amigos)

NEVER fly out of Chicago if you can at all help it. It is ALWAYS delayed. It’s the wind. BOYCOTT CHICAGO. Unless, of course, you live there.

Hope you made it home.

On the word replacement, DH and I came up with one way of yelling out in pain when we stub our toe or hit our funny bone, etc. It goes like this: “TOE ON THE CORNER OF THE COUCH!” or “ELBOW ON THE DOOR” or “TRIANGULAR SHAPED BLOCK TO THE FOOT!”
This serves two purposes:
1-You get to scream out in pain without saying any mean words
2-Nobody needs to ask the inevitable “What happened?”
