Krazy KT

Still in humid North Carolina!

Not a whole lot going on. Yesterday, I laid by the pool with Jen for about an hour. I feel like I sweated off 5 pounds. The humidity here is KILLER! Last night, we went and saw Ratatouille at the movies. Other then that I’ve been doing a lot of lying on the couch watching TV. I was hoping to get a lot of my uploading done but the Internet connection is so slow. I uploaded 4 products yesterday and it took almost an hour. I was hoping to get so much uploading done, but I don’t see that happening. I did manage to praise all the layouts in the gallery that were posted in the last day. LOL.. that only took me FOREVER but I never really get a chance to do that.

I decided to scrapbook yesterday. I pulled out all of my stuff only to find out I didn’t bring my scissors or my adhesive dispenser. Just my luck! I stopped in the dollar tree after the movie and got a pair of scissors. Hopefully I’ll be able to at least do my sister’s birthday gift, since her birthday was the 3rd of July. She seems to think she’ll be lucky if she gets it in the next year. I plan to prove her wrong!

I am really missing Chopper, a lot. Will called me last night to tell me I owe him $300. Apparently Chopper ate Nyssa's Chenille sunglasses. Oh, and he called me the day before to tell me that he's now afraid of tile floor. He won't go in their kitchen and when they went to Nyssa's parents house he wouldn't go on their tile floor either. I'm worried of what my sweet puppy will be like when I get back. Well, I'm going to try to upload again today. We'll see how that goes! Oh, and here's some pictures which are taking m e FOREVER to load.. lol.. not the best but for some reason I really like the ones of Jeremy and me!  

Flight Update

We arrived in Phoenix just in time to catch our flight. Of course the gate was on the other side of the airport, we ran the whole way there. We just made it! The plane was leaving literally right that minute. We hand the flight attendant our boarding passes only to find out that the guy that checked our bags in Baltimore didn't send our luggage to CA. He had it sent to Phoenix, so we had to go to baggage claim and check our bags all over again. So we waited, and waited! We waited at the gate around 2:30 just incase we did manage to get on. Thank goodness we were right there because there was at least 2 other people besides us on standby as well. We made it! We got lucky! Unfortunately the others didn't get so lucky. I would of died if I would of had to wait around until 7:30. I don't remember the plane ride at all. I fell right asleep; my mother said it didn't even last an hour. I woke up when we started to land, I guess because of how bad my ears were popping. We finally made it to Cali!!! Talk about a LONG day!! My mom is sound asleep, snoring LOUD as can be! I ordered Pizza Hut room service, which was delicious, but now my stomach is upset, doesn't it figure. It is 8:20pm here, and 11:20pm at home. I'm sleeping in late tomorrow. Thank goodness we got here a day early! Well I'm going to go surf the web with no interruptions :-) at least till I fall asleep. Hey, I'm paying $10 a day for Internet, I'm using it.. lol Both photos are pictures I took from the airplane today! Aren't they awesome?! 

I HATE delays and lay overs!

I woke up at 4:30 am to get ready & head out to the airport. I went to bed about 2 am this morning. Needless to say I am exhausted! My dad dropped my mom & I off at the airport about 5:30. It was a freezing 14 degrees outside! It snowed last night about an inch or two. I'm sitting in the airport right now, on the floor because there are no available seats for me to sit in. We are off to a great start already.. hah.. yeah right! Hardly! Our flight was supposed to fly out at 7:14 am; well needless to say it's past 7:30. Our flight has been delayed over an hour! There's nothing like waiting another hour and a half longer than expected to get on the plane for a 5 hour and 14 min. flight. Especially when you are ready to fall asleep & have a horrible headache. As if that isn't enough, because of the delay we will now miss our lay over in Phoenix, AZ, which is our connecting flight. My mom is in line right now trying to get that all figured out. She never even went to bed last night, & she is more awake than me! Turns out we will more than likely miss our connecting flight so now we have to wait until 7:30 pm to fly out of Phoenix. There is another flight leaving at 2, but it is totally booked. We are on standby for that flight! Wish us luck!

It's been FOREVER since I blogged

It’s been FOREVER since I blogged. There’s been so much going on that I haven’t had a chance. I went to Cedar Point in Ohio for the weekend with my sister and Jeremy the end of July. It was pretty awesome. Jeremy is a HUGE adrenalin junkie and LOVES roller coasters. They have the 2nd tallest roller coaster, “Top Thrill Dragster.” I would recommend the park to anyone! It’s awesome! We were there 2 days and didn’t cover anywhere close to the whole thing. We got on almost all the roller coasters though, and of course the Top Thrill Dragster. The roller coaster is insane! The 1st day we were there we didn’t get on it. The wait was 3 ½ hours long and they kept having mechanical problems. Now from watching the discovery channel (they’ve had several roller coaster shows) they are usually over cautious so we didn’t think much of it. The 2nd day the wait was an hour so we were like SCORE! We were almost to the front when they had announced mechanical problems. We decided to wait since the day before they kept having them and it was up and running again usually in 20mins. So whatever the issue was got fixed. We got on it and man was it worth the wait!! Nothing will ever compare to it. Ok, now fast forward to the next day, Monday morning. We are packing up, hearing a lot of sirens going by, Jeremy went downstairs to get breakfast and comes running up yelling, The Top Thrill Dragster Crashed! We stayed only a quarter mile away from the hotel so that would explain the helicopters, fire trucks and ambulances flying by our hotel. I called my mother on the way home (which took 7 hours) and told her and asked her to goggle it. Sure enough there it was. The Top Thrill Dragster had crashed at Cedar Point. The cable had snapped and the cars ran over it on the way down, causing shards of metal to shoot out. Four people were seriously injured. Talk about scary; I was on that thing just the day before! All and all, I had a great time. In no way was it at all relaxing but I had a good time

Ok, fast-forward a week. I leave for my real vacation, only to half to split my vacation in half. The first half of the week is spent with Brandon’s family in Ocean City and the second half is spent in Wildwood with my family. Ocean City was great! I don’t get to spend much time with Brandon’s family, so I really look forward to going to the beach with them. My days in OC were spent at the beach, playing in the sand with Owen and chatting it up with Brandon’s family! Then comes Tuesday, the day I leave OC and take the Ferry over to Cape May alone! I don’t know why but I had a little panic attack about doing it all myself, I didn’t have really good directions to get to the ferry and then when I got there what if I messed something up. I have no idea why I panicked. I obviously survived it but still don’t have any clue why I freaked out. My father was waiting for me in Cape May so I could follow him back to where my family was staying. I didn’t really do much there. The beach is a hike, so I only went there one day. I took Jeremy and his friend to the boardwalk 2 nights. The first we got a wristband and rode tons of rides on all 3 piers. I told them we might not be able to cover all 3 but boy did they prove me wrong. My feet hurt so badly by the end of the night. The second time I took them they got their henna tattoos! They talked about them the whole week and knew what they wanted. They turned out great! Of course Jeremy has to pick the most intricate one and it took over an hour. I wanted to get one on my foot but I would have had to walk about on the boardwalk with my flip-flop off. I said I would come back the next day around noon when they weren’t busy. That didn’t happen though. I waken up by my mother telling me to get up and pack up my stuff. Instead of leaving that night we were leaving in the morning. Apparently there was a lot of construction going on and they were closing down certain parts of the road after a certain time and we didn’t want to get such in it. So I never got my henna tattoo. Oh but it gets better, what should have been a 3 hour ride turned into 5 hours. We still got stuck in all the construction traffic after getting lost several times!

I came home to a lot of orders. It took me a few days to catch up, but I managed to. These past few days I’ve been just running around like a mad woman between filling orders, uploading and checking in all the new stuff the UPS and Fed-Ex guys keep bringing me and ordering even more new stuff from the CHA summer show!
