No More Secrets

Ok, I know it has been a ridiculously long time since I last posted. I could give you a million excuses as to why, but really it boils down to being busy and having other priorities. So I hope you'll understand. I'll be posting pictures and stories about the events of the last month shortly. But for now, let me tell you about my embarrassing moment and the SLC airport.

I was flying home from Florida with two gals I work with and the CEO of our company. We were all very exhausted and ready to go home. We went to the baggage carousel and waited for our luggage to come off. I grabbed one of the suitcases for someone in our group and then saw my own bag coming up. I saw that it was in a big black tote and could see there was a reason. I could see some clothes peeking out from the top. I tried to grab the tote, but couldn't quite manage. I asked our CEO to do it for me. Now, I'm not sure if he could tell that it was in a tote or if he just didn't understand the purpose of it. Anyway, he grabbed it by the handle and all the contents went flying. Yes, all my underwear, clothing, shoes, and personal stuff lay there on display for everyone nearby...including the CEO. I scrambled to gather the contents and stuff them in the tote. Then I quickly covered them with my broken suitcase (some time during the baggage handlers "gentle care" the zipper had busted). The CEO apologized and asked me to check to make sure I had everything. I was too embarrassed to care to check. I just wanted to get out of there.

Well, it turns out I lost a shoe (it's match is safely at home), my round brush and...of course a bit of dignity. On the bright side, I now have a big black Delta airlines tote at my house...do you think it would make a good sled?

Can I go sledding with you too, maybe we could all three get in it. And I am sure we coould come up with some great ideas for your one shoe too. (a wall hanging, a teeny tiny baby/doll sled, etc.)
