I like big planes that are loud and fast

September 26, 2011

Yesterday we sat on the roof all afternoon waiting to watch the Blue Angles fly at the local airshow. They fly right over our house, and office so sitting on the roof gives you an awesome view.

I insisted that we get slurpees before going on the roof. I didn’t skip the 2 blocks to 7-11……

We’re raisin’ the roof on this biscuit!

We saw the Snow Birds, which are smaller planes that fly in groups from Canada. They are pretty cool… but the Blue Angels are from the navy, I think. They’re faster, louder, and basically all around more awesome!

But the blue angels never flew because the marine layer (aka fog) rolled in and the “ceiling” (layer of clouds in the sky) was too low for them to fly.

I bought these cool boots yesterday with red zippers! I also have the same pair in grey with blue zippers…. I’m realizing now I might be shoe obsessed and should probably not bring up such topics on this blog.

I went to the store last night in a frantic panic for Cinnamon Chex and they didn’t have any!!!! :evil: and :shock:

Not happy.  So I suffered with honey nut instead. It’s pretty good… but it’s no cinnamon.

Breakfast was greek yogurt with honey nut chex stuffed inside & awake tea with vanilla soymilk.

It was the yummy fig yogurt that I love from vacation! Score for the grocery outlet.

I just realized my nose has fig yogurt on it from trying to lick the inside of the carton… with that I will go reclaim my dignity with a shower.

Tell me about you!!!! I want to know…..

If fog has ever ruined your plans?

Have you started making your christmas list yet?

What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

What are you having for lunch today?

Yay for the snowbirds (gotta represent since they’re Canadian, like myself)! Love the boots and roof-watching looks fun. No to the Christmas list. Halloween – don’t know (probably nothing). Lunch – I had a vegetable/veggie burger/brie cheese tower with spicy beans and then an apple and pb for dessert…YUM!

The roof is the best! I think it’s just cool getting up there… forget the planes. ;-)

I love your boots!! They’re too cute.

If fog has ever ruined your plans? — delayed a flight or two for sure
Have you started making your christmas list yet? — for myself, yes, lol.
What are you dressing up as for Halloween? — haven’t even thought about it yet… sad that I’m thinking about Christmas before Halloween.
What are you having for lunch today? — I had leftover brown rice with corn and fat free refried beans… YUMMMMM-O

You gotta get on the halloween plans ;-)! I’m debating between Hermione from Harry Potter and wearing my old prom dress and being Miss America or a princess or something. It’s a great excuse to whip out the old prom ball gown.

I think it is pretty clear that ANYTIME one is on a roof, a slurpee must be involved. I would have been there too. Maybe not with a slurpee though, because until they invent one that is really calorie-free, I have to be super careful with sugar and stuff. But I’d have my Kombucha…

and I’m sorry about the half-marathon – I was totally wanting to do it with you too, but I understand where you are coming from! So sorry. You’re tough, though, and I know you’ll do it once you figure everything out!

I know! My other blog friend Theresa wanted to run it with me and I’m 100% sad. We should try to organize a fun 1/2 marathon or something next year and get a bunch of bloggers to go together. It could be a like a girls weekend! :-D

HOW FUN! I love your boots too. I’m searching for my perfect boots. And then I’m going to wear them daily. For lunch I tried gnocchi for the first time!! It was delish!!!
I am definitely working on the Christmas list!!

The boot search is like the jean search! It takes forever and usually leads to many unproductive hours of shopping. The real reason I have the same boot in both colors is because I loved how they looked on. Jeans over and under… that’s my true boot test.

I have always wanted to go to an air show! Now that I think about it I am not sure why I haven’t…:(
As a matter of fact fog has ruined my plans…:( Took a trip to Kansas this past weekend (LONG trip) and the first two hours of the trip there was so much fog! It made me so sleepy to drive in it..
I know that I will at least get the new Nicholas Sparks book for Christmas and it will be the gift I get my sister-n-law..;)
My halloween costume will either be a character from Harry Potter, or a Harry Potter fan…
Lunch?? Ugh, lunch on the road…..Is it really considered lunch?? It was a starbucks coffee, water, and chicken.
Have a great night!

I’m a HUGE HP fan too! My hair is really wavy (like Herminone’s in the last 3-4 movies). Well, I work at a children’s theater and one of the little kids told me that I had Hermione Hair one day. lol I was a little insulted honestly because her hair isn’t described as a very positive attribute in the books lol. Maybe I should be Hermione for Halloween.
