But I have plenty to make up for it. Monday morning I was off bright & early to catch the company jet & go to High Point, NC for the day to walk around market. It was a good, productive day getting to walk around to all the high-end showrooms & get my creative juices flowing.
The best part? I didn't have to sit on the toilet seat on the way home :)
On my way to the St. Pete/Clearwater airport bright & early
View from my seat. It is a 10-seater plane & I got to watch the pilots land. I've always wondered how they did it! Turns out they don't look out the front window much. Huh. Those 2 ladies are Korrie (left) & Angie & the first 4 seats recline. Fancy! The tv behind Korrie constantly shows what city the plan is passing over, elevation, ground speed, temperature, etc. Pretty cool, actually!
This is on the way home and it is taken from the toilet seat :) JD had to lean out to take it, but this is basically how big the plane is. Next to me is the other Amber (and that is her Coors Light in between us & not mine thankyouverymuch), Dina is the one laughing at us, Darren is in the right corner, & Siobahn's shirt is in the bottom left corner. How smart is it that the owner of the company has alcohol on his plan for when we fly back home? I mean, it's not like we have to DRIVE back to our houses right? Liquor us up & put us in our cars!

I NEVER thought I'd say this since I get nervous on small planes.....but I would much rather fly this than a commercial flight any day. Such smooth flying, only had to get to the airport 10 minutes before we left & no security. Aahhh, that's the life....for one day!
You know, I didn't realize just HOW MUCH water is in the state of Florida (yes, I know a lot of those are shadows from the clouds). But every time I fly I look out on Florida & see just how much of our state is covered in water. Kinda scary! If if floods, where do we go?!
I took this one because we were completely on our side looking straight down :)
Today's photos: Taco night! I love me a good homemade taco!
Jeremy eats his with lots of cilantro instead of lettuce. He can have it!
Love the photos, Ambs! Glad you showed us the jet...very cool! And I'm with Jerm on the cilanto...yumm-o!! We had tacos the other night, too, and I loaded on the cilantro. Dad....nope. He doesn't like it either!
ReplyDeleteI love to fly, but if you put me on a plane that small I might need Coors. :) I like the window shots. YUM cilantro. I could put it in vases all over the house so I could smell it all the time...except Eric would have a fit. He doesn't like it. Boo.
