yes, I'm THAT GIRL.

The one with 2liters of water. 5 kinds of candy. 2 types of gum. Enough reading and writing for 12+hrs. The girl who has a dozen different snacks so that she has options.

I’m that girl on the plane.

I can’t help it. I over-prepare for flights. I must have PLENTY of everything I might want or need on a plane. Don’t ask why- I don’t even know. But I know more than once I’ve seen people who WISH they had thought ahead enough to bring “more everything”.

What are your plane rituals?

cross your fingers for me.

the car company from hell, the one I’ve been trying to get answers from for 6 weeks? A manager called me at home last night. I could have died from shock. He’s reviewing my e-mails (oh, I’ll get into this later…) and going to call me back later today.

In the meantime I’ll be working on a lot of projects. But wanted to say… cross your fingers for me and hope for a happy ending to the nightmare of ____ car company rental…

** EDITED TO ADD: The nightmare is over. They are crediting me the full amount I was hoping for, and I finally got to speak to someone who knows how to treat a customer. Sigh of relief isn’t even strong enough of an expression…

from the volcano lair of May…

I have no sharks with lasers, or an actual volcano… but I’m busy at work here in my lair. So, I thought I’d share some video clips of the “diet coke of evil” himself. (love mike meyers and dr. evil, oh yes I do…)

turkey sandwich: May style

The only real requirement here is turkey, cheese, and good (thin sliced) potato salad. Often I do a grilled turkey and cheese sandwich, then add potato salad to it. Ah, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me explain it.

I like turkey sandwiches, I like potato salad (LOVE the Wills San Francisco stuff that you can get at costco or some grocery stores), and I eat my lunch on the move. So I started subbing potato salad instead of mayo or other addititves on my sandwich. Here’s today’s:

This is a 6-layer. potato salad, turkey, bacon, cheese, avocado, and tomato. It is GOOOOOOD. If you’re in the mood for a yummy sandwich- try this.
