Flight 23

When I was getting to fly to Houston earlier this week, I mentioned to Chris that my flight number was 23. I hadn't really thought about it until he made me google flight 23. And yep, United flight 23 was one involved in 9/11. I guess I knew that, but it hadn't registered to me.

Why do any airlines still use this number? Just skip it! Now, I wasn't too uncomfortable about this but it did make me briefly uneasy about my upcoming flight. So I propose that airlines quit using this number. It didn't stop my flight from being full, but I bet there were others on that flight that thought about the number too. Maybe some people even didn't choose the flight because of the number. Who knows. But just in case, please pick a different number. :)

Potty Humor

I'm at a conference this week and am having trouble with all kinds of potties that I run across.

The ones in the hotel that are automatic. That flush before I even sit down! I thought I was the only one this was happening to until I asked a lady that I know. Turns out its not just me.

Black toilets. I am pretty deathly afraid of these. I know the white, normal ones are just as germy, but I'm really icked out by the black ones. Is this just me? I'm really not sure what my deal is, but they completely gross me out! Ok, so the biggest thing is that you can't tell what's in the bowl. Could be clear. Could not be. You just don't know. And that's weird and yucky in my book.

There's a restaurant that Chris and I like to go to that has black potties. And I now avoid that restroom at all costs. It has to be an extreme emergency for me to go in there. I'm very scared!

And the other day here in Houston, I ran across one of these and was immediately nervous. But I'm happy to say that I survived and live to tell about it! :)

Word wall

We've had words on the door for awhile but I've been wanting to organize them better.

So, here's the new word wall:

Wait! There's more!

We finally got the super hero pictures all hung in the toy room!



And we made an art area for Caleb in the kitchen to hang some of his cool masterpieces! Someday I'll paint the kitchen and it will look much better.
