Picture for future girlfriends

This is what I found when I got Jack up this morning.

Rant

Why is an automated "help" line never helpful??????? It is set up to "help" the end-user, however it never actually answers your question. And when you try to get to an actual person, they cut you off!! I tried this service 4 time today with the same result. I ended up having to go in person to the facility. Something that took 5 minutes at the facility took me almost an hour via phone. And yes, I attempted on-line first and was directed to the call the "helpline".
I consider myself an intelligent person. I can follow simple directions, however when the mistake was not my fault(their computer glitch) and I am harassed for it, it makes me want to go postal on the people. However, I had to take Jack with me and it was not appropriate at the time.

Crazy Missouri weather

My lilac bush thinks it's Spring?!?

This weather is beyond odd for November in MO. Yesterday was sunny and in the 80's and today it is in the 70's. We're supposed to be having 40's and 50's.

Mexico 2009

Mexico was awesome!!! For 6 days I did nothing and it was wonderful. I slept late, sat on the beach and next to the pool, started and finished a book, and soaked up the beautiful Barcelo Resort and Hotel!!!

After an EARLY morning flight, 6:00am, and a layover in Charlotte, we all made it to Mexico about 3:00 on the 24th. We stopped at the bar, checked in, and took in the resort. The view from every window or walkway was absolutely fabulous! We headed to our rooms to take a quick nap and then head to dinner.

We spent the next 5 days lounging on the beach under the swaying palm trees or by one of the pools not to far from the bar!!! "I had my toes in the water, toes in the sand..."

I cannot say enough about the Barcelo. The staff, the room, the facilities we just awesome. I would go back in a heart beat, but I think this time I'll have to bring Darrell and Jack!!
