Happy Birthday..

Oh ya.. thats for me. I did have a super fun birthday. Breakfast of local blueberry pancakes, eggs and fresh squeezed OJ. A fun walk around Bar Harbor, a walk at low tide to a neighboring island and Dinner of fresh lobster.. YUMMY.. thanks Mom Dad Liz and Tru for making this a super fun day. Tru and I got to play in the rain even! He is so stinkin cute!

Off the Grid.

I lost my cell phone tonight at work so I am officially off the grid until the new one I ordered arrives. Im hoping it gets here before I leave town! Good freakin luck! So my line is on suspension until I either get a loner or get the new phone.. Lets see if I can survive a whole day sans the phone.. who wants to bet I totally loose it?

Alpine coaster

Hangin at the PCMR today. Came up for the zipline but dangit all if it isn't closed today! So we did the slide and the coaster. PS a note to all who think this might be a cheesy ride.. Try it once.. you are in for a freakin TREAT!

Here is a video I started to take but had to stop because the ride really picked up.

And now?

Migranes are so lame!

So Im sitting here at my friends house where I am house sitting. I woke up with a migrane this morning at 8am. Thanks to my nasty am shifts that Ive been working at the airport Ive had to rely on starbucks to get me through my mornings. 3 cups of coffee and I was ready to get through a busy morning on the ticket counter. Now that Im going to be on the night shift I should have had a great nights sleep and ready to work with out the need of the coffee rush. Hopefully that will help to reduce the amount of migranes i've been having.

Its the little things..

That make you happy.. This is debbie.. She worked the dallas flight today..

Where in the world is Kera?

Look what cute face graced my jalepeno poppers!

Rain Rain go away...

Its been raining on and off for like a month.. It kinda seems like Im living in a Seattle type element. I cant even ride my Motorcycle..

Suprise I'm in Atlanta.. Again

I came in for a meeting with the IROP desk, a focus group to help with new automation. But as a suprise we got to go to the hangars to see the new 777 they will use on the sydney flight..

"Prince and the Pea"

Ok so Mom says I'm the Princess but either way.. I've got the "Queen" size bed to dwarf them all. I inherited a new box spring today, my second. Yes Mom actually said, 'Oh you already HAVE a box spring!" Uh yes I replied as I got a running jump up onto my bed for this picture. As you can see the Pain and agony in my face as I am feeling for the 'Pea' under my back. My legs even dangle off the edge no where near the floor.
Enjoy the photos.

Television for Women and Gay Men...

Lifetime... I'm sitting here watching a total chick flik on this silly channel and every stupid commercial they show for another series I keep thinking to myself that I should set the TiVo to record them. So what they say is true in the movies.. Lifetime, Television for Women and Gay Men..

Home.. Its where to be.

So low and behold I made my flight, I was one of the last ones on the flight but I made it. Now I get to stay here for a full 5 days.. Or I should say that Im home for my 5 work days.. which so far this month is a record. Funny.. its the end of the month.
I had a great time in Ridgeland with the family. The Rountrees were oh so nice to let us stay with them on the river house.
I tell ya.. I could totally live a life like that.
Love y'all
Mike

Wishfull thinking

Im sitting here in the ATL airport hoping and praying that I make my flight to SLC tonight. The flights went from great to poopie and so here I sit waiting to see if there is a chance that someone doesn't show and I can sneak a seat. Keep your fingers crossed. I had to snag a day pass to the airport wi-fi in hopes that I could look at the flight information but we will see if this helps. I just dont know. Im a sweaty mess about it.
Ill keep you all up to date.
Mike

Honestly..

Does it get more beautiful than this? I personally don't think so..

Who's ready for some new postings?

Ok so I know I have been absolutely awful on my Blogging.. My only excuse is that I havent had my laptop with me in the fun places that Ive been traveling and just am now sitting down to take a breather.
I went to Tucson for 3 weeks to do temporary duty in the airport there. It was kinda fun, I stayed at a nice hotel, comfy beds, a pool and dinner and breakfast included.. That was pretty sweet! Those are my previous posts from my cell.
THEN I took mom on a super fun adventure to Poland. We flew SLC to CDG and then hopped an Air France connection into Warsaw Poland.
We had my friends mother with us and met up with Amy and Maciej there in Warsaw at a totally cute little appartment.

We wandered Warsaw for a few days, seeing the uprising museums, the old castle gardens and walking along the river. Always walking.. Walking walking walking..
We then got in a car and drove down to Krakow via a stop to see the black Madonna. It was a fun little side trip to see the fan fare of this cool church where Pope John Paul gave a sermon to his people of Poland. They still have the pulpit up on the outside of the castle. It is apparently where a lot of the very religious go on pilgrimage from all over Poland. They walk to this church in the summer from all corners of the country.

That is a view from the bell tower in the church.
Warsaw was absolutely beautiful, I took so many pictures that Im going to have to do a slide show just to get them all in. So look for that in a few days.
From Warsaw we went south to the mountains that boarder Poland and the Czech Republic. It was like being in the Alps or something. They are so beautiful and green.. and again.. we walked and walked.. but dang it was beautiful.
One last pic and then I will get back to work.

Sunsets..

I think this photo is the perfect shot for the end of earth day. Something about sunsets in the desert really make me happy. There is always a beautiful contrast and it always makes the mind stop and admire the beauty all around. Hope you all enjoy.

Happy Earth Day!

Its a day to celebrate our planet and all it has to offer its inhabitants. Get out and enjoy mother nature today. If you are feeling extra groovy, plant something that will grow throughout the summer for you to enjoy. I myself will be traveling to Camp Verde to check on some weeds that are growing big and strong!

AH... Pool Time..

It is Finally warming up here in the Southern Desert of Arizona.
I was able to lay out by the pool yesterday and soak up the sun while I read in my book. Honestly there is something wonderful about the sun, the water and being able to relax. I almost laid out and took a nap after work today but I didnt want to get fried.
Just about one more week here and then I am off to Poland with mom and the friends. It should be a Fantastic trip and I am really looking forward to seeing that part of the world. Dont worry mom and I will take LOTS of pictures.
Im off to see the Taylors on wednesday. Cant wait to see the midgets.
Love you all
Me

Arizona chills..

Ok so here I sit in my hotel suite. Honestly if you had asked me a week ago I would have told you I was going to be sitting by the pool.. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Its freakin cold here in Tucson Arizona. Its been raining for the past few days and its like 60 degrees. I saw hail today at the airport!
So Im tucked under my covers watching August Rush and crying like a boob..

Vomit Von Barfenstein

Ok.. Please note the time of this blog post. Yes that's right. It is somewhere in the neighborhood 230 in the bloody morning. I am sitting on the bench waiting the employee shuttle to take me to my car so I can go home and get very little sleep. I have been at work since 1230 in the afternoon and just have ZERO energy left. Thank you late atlanta flight that gave me the lucious overtime pay for staying so long but I honestly would LOVE to be curled up asleep already.. Just 30 little minutes and I will be home enjoying that comfort..
