It wasn't horribly windy here on the East coast but rain, rain, rain and flooding."<br /><br />That's what my mom said too. As soon as I told her about changing dates, she said, "Excellent!"<br /><br />"Plus flying through it would have been a bitch even if they went way over the Atlantic."<br /><br />Yup...that's exactly what I was afraid of because I lived in Florida for 20 years, therefore I know even days after one of these storms, the sky is still rocky :(<br /><br />OMG...it's hotter than HELL here too! Today it was almost 100 degrees and humid!<br /><br />"Anyway, glad the airline was cooperative and that you didn't have much of a problem."<br /><br />They were so nice about rescheduling. I LOVE that airline!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Sis! I'll call you sometime next week to see when a good time will be for us to meet.

Aw...thanks, dear lady because...Hellooooooooo Pam~<br /><br />Aw...thanks, dear lady because at first I felt like a wuss for not wanting to fly, but after reading everyone's comment of support, I see they would have done the same thing :) That storm was some scary SHIT!<br /><br />"And I'm really happy that the airlines only charged you ten bucks to change your flight! THAT is awesome!"<br /><br />Wasn't that AWESOME? When she said, $10.00, I couldn't believe it. I thanked her a HUNDRED times!<br /><br />"But then when you told her you did exactly that, she "confessed" and told you what she had been feeling! A TRUE mom!"<br /><br />Isn't she faaaaaaaaaabulous?????<br /><br />And it truly worked out excellent because next week is much better for her and my brother anyway.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your sweet and supportive words, dear friend. I feel much better :)<br /><br />(((((( YOU )))))<br /><br />Have a FANTABULOUS week too!<br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-65100421648861176212012-06-26T23:33:32.772-04:002012-06-26T23:33:32.772-04:00Ron don't feel like a "buffoon".

THAT is awesome! <br /><br />**Doing a happy dance**<br /><br />Your mom is such a sweetheart! She wanted you to reschedule but she didn't tell you because she didn't want to scare or worry you. But then when you told her you did exactly that, she "confessed" and told you what she had been feeling! A TRUE mom! <br /><br />I'm glad you feel more at ease, Ron, and will be calm when you get to Florida! You deserve a restful time with your family and a bumpy ride on an airplane wouldn't have produced that! It could take days for your mind and body to adjust and "calm down"!!<br /><br />Hang in there!
