location, location, location

i just find locations of things interesting sometimes...

for instance...my workout club. it's in a plaza...so when you are running on the freaking treadmill, mean and nasty people get handel's homemade ice cream in a waffle cone {chocoholic chunk, too} and sit on the benches and watch you...and laugh.
bad location. and it's mean. altogether bad.

indianapolis opened our new airport a number of months ago, but i had only done drop off and pick ups...on our return from sc a few weeks ago, i found a proximity issue.

when you leave your car at the airport, you have to take a shuttle to get to your car or walk 5 miles...so you wait for the shuttle. and, you wait where it says, "shuttle pick up here".

so we call...and we wait by the sign...
i first notice this sign...and think, well i guess it's good to have a specified area for such things.
but then i realize, real estate really is all about location, location, location...bc i'm telling you when you are tired from traveling and you wanna get home and see your kiddos and there's the aroma of poo in the air, you still sit...and ryan, well, he didn't even notice.

i just think maybe, maybe someone would have thought a little about the poo place placement...but apparently not.

oh well. remind me next time to take my nose plug.

Those things are just wrong in so many ways, but make for great writing topics! I am not so sure I'd ever survive a workout in your gym, though. Good for you!!!

I understand completely what you're saying, but on the flip side - service animals can't read and neither can their owners. Things have to be conveniently located, you know. What needs to happen is that someone needs to clean that place FREQUENTLY.

Oh I loved your little picture there with the doggies. It's so cute since I can't smell anything from where I'm sitting.

You're right though, you have great points. Isn't there a location committee you could be on or something?

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
