I love it when the pilot warns of a bumpy ride and cancels the snack/beverage service - then to have a ride as smooooth as silk.
The Littlle Plane that (barely) Could got us to Seattle. Late, but after a swift run to a nearby gate, I made it to a plane bound for PDX.
Ugh. That’s a very small plane.
ahhh … I’m so happy to find myself back in civilization. Dry roads, a happy dog, and a dozen red roses on my porch! #happiness
Now, politics. And a baby in my lap trying to take away *my* toy!
Growing tired of long conversations about topics no one (in the conversation) knows anything about. In this case, the stock market. #hotair
Just discovered the Montana Candy Emporium, so now things are just a little brighter and a lot sweeter.
I want out.
Weekend phrases: “What’s that?” and “I want it.” #toddler
Oh right. *This* is what cold feels like. #Montana
Traveling is the downside of traveling. #crowdedflight
digging thru cupboards & cookbooks in hopes of finding a match. Found the “Cream Tartar,” with the following label: Sell by Nov ‘84. #yikes
Back from a fun walk in the snow with the dog. Would like a little fairy to come bake some Christmas cookies for me to nibble by the fire.
halfway through digging my car out from under the snow, I started to question whether or not it was my own car.
This snow would be a lot more fun if I wasn’t broken…throat, back, head, heart, soul…all malfunctioning.
With my garden shovel and my broom, I removed all the snow from my front porch & steps, making way for a nice sheet of smooth slick ice.
This is what weather.com has to say about the gorge this weekend: TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRAVEL. Montana will have to wait.

Listening to Amy Winehouse. Considering pancakes. Feeling the cold breeze coming straight through the glass in the bedroom window.
Alternating between sips of hot chocolate with whipped cream & black coffee while @sgreenfield slips & slides her way toTom’s for pancakes.
Shopping was painful & long. Didn’t make it to class & didn’t find any gifts. Still made it home with plenty of goodies for me. #imaginethat
I am *not* looking at collectible Barbies … cuz that would just be silly.
Going to take a Flamenco class tonight. Anyone up for joining me? I suspect that by tomorrow I’ll be dancing like this: http://is.gd/cohd
to keep the theme of Indulgence going after 3 weeks in Spain, I’ve been enjoying decadent holiday drinks all week long. #eggnog
Calls from Cuba brightening my day :)
Upper back pain, two bloody noses…consulting Louise Hay. She says I have a desire to be noticed and recognized & I’m feeling unloved. #huh
Dancing around the house like an idiot is good for the soul, less good for getting to work on time. At least I have my priorities straight.

doh! almost time to get up … maybe I should go to sleep!
This cocoa + book could become cocoa + fire, cheese & wine + conversation if anyone wanted to stop by (before it becomes cocoa + bedtime).

Southern Spain, at least where I was in Southern Spain, is saturated with Orange Trees. They line streets and courtyards all over the place. Also, likely related,…
Not wanting to stay home today … are chains really required to drive within town?
My horoscope says I’ve “arrived at a new level of status.” Which is awesome, because I’m ready for a new level of status. #whateverthatmeans
On the snowy ground in PDX waiting for luggage and customs. Mixed feelings about being (almost) home.
Weird. I feel like I’ve just woken from a dream.
Amazing last day/night in Barcelona. Packing up to come home.
Best thing in the Prado? 5yr old girl walking through the gallery & stopped transfixed upon seeing Patenier’s Temptations. http://is.gd/bnEr
Next best thing in the Prado = Hieronymus Bosch. http://is.gd/bnHN
Dear Jackass who just picked my pocket and got away with my asprin receipt from the pharmacy, “Ha!” (oh, and other stuff not fit for print.)

Yay! For Christmas I want a dream recorder.
Pink Tentacle reports that researchers at Japan’s ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories have developed a system that can…
I’m sure a week into life @ home I’ll be stuck in the routine, but at this very moment, I’d like to trade it all in & start something new.

Facing my fear of heights, yet again, here in Spain http://twitpic.com/rpyv #vertigo
Thinking I should have changed my shoes for the occasion. #obviousamerican
Holy Shit. I like Madrid a *lot* more than I expected. Yay!

The emotional roller-coaster I was just on left me exhausted. Wanting a nap, but should orient myself to my new hood while there’s daylight.
Of course. *Now* I meet someone in Seville. 20 min. before leaving.
Dear person in the next hotel room using the “snooze” feature on your alarm, Get up already!!
