another point (or two) for the hubs

what happens when you have a trip booked to hawaii through orbitz travel and the airline that is supposed to actually take you the last leg of your trip across the ocean to that tropical paradise files for bankruptcy? 

you'd think that orbitz would book you on another flight. after all, they have done flight switcheroos THREE TIMES up until then.  i've got the email pile-up to prove it. so then, what's the big deal?

apparently it's up to YOU make other arrangements.

but what happens if you call and they keep giving you the run around: call this airline. call that airline. call orbitz because "it's their responsibility to rebook you". ??

after what feels like forever on the phone with any one of three parties, orbitz wants to charge another $1000 EACH for rebooking you on another airline.

what happens when you give the hubs the phone in exasperation because you just can't take it anymore and are willing to just shell out the 2K because you're sick of it all and just want to GO ON VACATION?

i'll tell you what happens. he spends another two hours on the phone, uses phrases like "contact my attorney"  and "cancel my reservation" (both of which i am frantically gesturing NO!!) but he is playing the game and winds up with everything juuuuuuust hunky dory.

i hope.

where are my pop tarts

i'm trying to control my sugar intake. (it's usually a feeble attempt when i do try)  so when we were at the grocery store, instead of saying "no" when hubs held up the pop tarts.... knowing full well that i will eat the whole box, probably in one day, i said "you'll need to hide those from me." 

you know what? he did.

and i am not amused.

i have searched high and low for the pop tarts. they are not in the usual places in which he hides stuf.

does he really think he's being  helpful?

good thing i still have my jelly belly stash.

a shoot followed by destruction

this morning i had my very last shoot in my itty bitty studio.  little T is 3. it was fun.

and then, even before i could get all of my equipment out of the room, hubs was in there weilding his hammer. we went from this:

to this

to this.

it's a shame we had that room pretty much finished... but we had to change plans. besides, having the studio more than twice the size will be AWESOME.  now it's off to the House of Orange for more supplies.

wordless wednesday: a daddy moment

the handbook and the countdown

this just silly. i didn't know that companies with two home based employees needed an employee handbook.  especially good is the section about harrassment and fighting.  yes, it talks about fighting in here.

also. on the cover, it proclaims:  "Employee Manuel"  -- uh.  are we getting a new coworker from mexico?

two weeks til the official "notice" is turned in.

we survived the meeting. only one of us got knocked down by the unruly dog. and we stopped to shop at kohls on the way home to celebrate.

in other news, the hubs has done laundry today. pretty dang impressive. i'll rent him out, girls. he also makes a mean grilled cheese.
