JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

…is coming home again. The dog was so happy to see us that she ran through the underground fence to greet us.

This post is sans photos because a certain someone thought that it would be a good idea to bring the camera to work with him today. He has been corrected in that thought process and reminded that we have several memory cards and he could have left the one with the vacation photos here with me. ;o)

So, since I don’t have the camera there will be no photos. There will, however, be a summary of what our vacation consisted of:

• There was a lovely full-body patdown thanks to my implants (the titanium dental variety - though I think the lovely woman who treated me to the patdown thought I had referred to boobages, not teeth. Titanium boobage implants, contemplate that for a few moments, I’ll wait.)
• There was hotness (and hottness)
• There was humidity
• There was overpriced bottled water
• There were long drama-filled teenage phone calls
• There were fireworks
• There was zipper breakage
• There were really cool rides
• There were awesome coasters
• There were long lines
• There was frustration
• There were horrible kids (thankfully, not mine. Except for that once…okay maybe twice)
• There were pushy people
• and a really cool hotel
• There was Epcot, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom (not necessarily in that order)
• Oh, and WALMART. (trust me, it was necessary.)
• There was knitting…on the plane ;o)
• There was the relinquishment of responsibility
• And finally, the complete loss of my sanity.

I’ll be bringing you details over the course of the next few days…

Overall, I’m really happy to be home. I’m also exhausted and have over 950 unread on my bloglines. I also have 200+ emails. I think I might be marking all the blog entries read and starting from scratch. I love reading all my bloglines subscriptions however, this is kind of overwhelming. Add laundry and unpacking to that and holy crap is my head spinning ;o)

It’s a non-recent photo but it is a sky, it was taken by me and it was on a Saturday. It was just taken a few months ago (notice the lack of leaves on the trees…) instead of today. I think it’s a very striking photo - and it’s one of my favorites. This hill is right down the street from us so I drive by it every day.

I have a good excuse for posting an old picture…we’re leaving for a whirlwind five-day Disney World vacation on Wednesday afternoon and I have to pack. And since it’s Florida at the end of August you never know just what to expect which means there is ALOT of packing going on. And nervous twitching.

The twitching is not just because of the packing and the worrying about the increased security. It’s the worrying about my knitting. They damned well better let me have it on the plane. I plan on printing out the lovely handbook you can find here and I’m already ‘getting my paralegal on’ as RR likes to put it. Worst case, I’m also packing a project (and my drop spindle) in the suitcase so if they confiscate my needles I’ll have something to do when we get there.

…that is, as long as the luggage doesn’t get lost. (and no, I haven’t decided just what project yet…)

So, I guess what I’m saying also is that this is going to be the last post ’til we get back next week. Wish me luck with the whole Florida heat/crowds/Disney thing. Hopefully I don’t go postal after riding It’s a Small World for the eleventymillionth time. ;o)

Crap. Now I have the song stuck in my head.

I totally flaked on the Eye Candy Friday post I needed to put up today - oops…

So I’m kinda cheating…these aren’t photos I took, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s eye candy.

In the interest of full disclosure - I got this idea from Abi. Not the Colin part, just the picture of a hot guy part.
