I just wish I didn't have to wait till practically the LAST second to pack my toiletries (meds etc) before we leave cuz then I am ALWAYS afraid I will forget something.
You could put the bag that you're putting them in onto the bathroom counter and put them in the bag. So you're packed, but it's all still out and useable.
OMG, that would have done me in right there.
It would have, most definitely, except that I know he's being dramatic. Not that he won't miss me, he will, but I've seen his reactions to hubby going somewhere and then 2 minutes later he's laughing...etc. It must be the latent former babysitter in me, who has seen the hugest, most drama-filled, reactions to parents leaving, and then the instant the car leaves the driveway the kid is having the Best Time Ever... We messed up one time, leaving him in a gym playcare without properly saying goodbye...I actually heard him crying over the gym's music, the treadmill etc machines, and the free weights and their grunting shouting users...that's how LOUD he was crying...but ever since then he's really good only moments after a parent goes somewhere.
I've never flown Southwest so I don't know what that means.......but YAY for A23!!!!
With SW you don't get seats assigned. Rather you log in as close to the 24 hour out mark as you can, and sign in, and depending on where you are in the virtual line of people checking in, you are assigned a spot in line. There are A, B, and C lines, and then each letter has a number, too. A 1-15 are left open for the full fare passengers, and so A23 means she will be, at max, the 23rd person on the plane to choose her seat. And since there are rarely flights with 15 full fare passengers, she could only be the 8th person on the plane!
We have a thief at work. She's taking wallets, money, anything she can. We share lockers and when I got to work, my 'locker partner' had our locker full of girl scout cookies! I was paranoid all day that my stuff was going to be stolen.
That's awful! Hubby had a thief at work, but it's just a food thief. Not that stealing food is a good thing, especially since he's one of two diabetics in his department and he can't just grab whatever to eat, since hubby controls his blood sugar with diet and exercise alone (the other guy is AWFUL about working to control it, eats anything he wants to then just gives himself more insulin to make up for it), so it really messes hubby up when his lunch disappears.
With continued reports of the food thief, the management first sent out a strongly worded email that this is a fireable offense and that one more instance would cause cameras to be put up. There was one more instance (hubby and another guy's lunches were stolen...what's funny is that hubby's lunches are made up of bland, low glycemic flax seed and wheat flat wraps, veggie "bologna", and such...NOT EXCITING to the average person!!!) and now there are very obvious cameras all around the kitchen there.
Get your management to take this seriously! This is more than lunches!
Then again, you got a locker filled with GS cookies.
Or horses!
If anything, Beth, we'll rent you a wheelchair..but! I get to ride it when you're walking 
Oh great, and someone who hasn't noticed this thread will come back and complain about those wheelchair faker users....
I think I might be able to do this (take day off & take the VIP tour off your hands.) Can you PM me details?
Off topic, but I love how you put what you're working on in your sig! As a multiple-project do-er and procrastinator, that might be a really good way to keep me honest!
It is going to be COLD this weekend. They say the high will be 63 degrees. There is still some chance (30%) of rain tomorrow and Friday. I need to find a better jacket, mine is so thin.
Maybe I'll double layer.
Ooh, nice and toasty!
Seriously...it's rainy and nasty-cold here. I'll take 63. After all, once it turns 50 degrees and sunny here in the spring, that's shorts weather!
