home again home again

Just a quick post to let everyone know I'm home now and very pleased with last week's trip. I'll be posting a lot about the trip in the coming days. Unfortunately, the transfer port on my camera came home in less than ideal conditions, so my 1,048 pictures are going to have to wait to be shared here until I can get it fixed. But once I do, watch out. I think my Flickr might explode. In the mean time, check out the link I added to my blogroll - Panama Jack. Jack Farber is the director of Latin American Missions. He has been posting blog updates on the work we did last week, as well as the work that will continue this week.

I'd also like to share that I am now an official member of the Delayed Luggage Club! I'll let you know in a few days if that membership gets upgraded to the (officially) Lost Luggage Club. I'm pretty stoked about the whole thing. I mean, it's an honor just to be nominated. Thanks Delta. Also, special thanks goes out to Atlanta Int'l Airport for your state-of-the-art luggage handling and transportation system. You and Delta make a great team.

Well, I'm off to Target now to buy some new underwear. You know...just in case.

Wow, another connection for Emily and Julie. I am also part of the delayed luggage club. My luggage has been delayed so many times that I am always nervous when the belt start to turn and the bags starting popping up. Ann and I flew in to Cancun once and my luggage went to Mexico City. The resort knocked on the door at 3am to leave a note saying that they didn't have anymore information about my luggage. I could take up your whole blog with luggage stories...they are frustrating but make for great entertainment later.

Didn't yah know that Delta stands for "Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive." Ha!

I do hope they find your luggage, though. What a bummer and a pain. My parents luggage was stolen when they went to Hawaii. It was such a hassle for them to replace everything. Hope your luggage is found ASAP!!

UPDATE for all concerned parties:
I got my luggage back! While this is good news, it unfortunately makes me ineligible to be inducted into the Lost Luggage Club. I was soooo hoping....

maybe next time.

I know someone that has a card reader if you want to unload your pictures that way - and burn them onto a CD.

Thanks Pop - but I already borrowed one. I will probably be getting my own pretty soon. It was so easy & fast!

welcome back, and welcome to the 'delayed luggage club' which is a lot more fun club than the really lost luggage club.

In modern-day culture the river Styx has been replaced by the Atlanta airport and it's just-oh-so-jolly people of service. I try to avoid Delta.

no pressure over capuccino

This morning, my iPod played this song for me. My iPod has been playing this for me quite frequently. Weird considering it's on 'shuffle'. For some reason, my iPod likes this song. For some reason, I like this song. I have a special affinity for songs that reference Jesus and the Bible written by people who don't profess to be Christians (another great one is Dave Matthews' "A Christmas Song"). It's always interesting to see these figures from a secular point of view. I googled the lyrics this morning, because Alanis is Canadian :-p Some of the most important words were not what I previously thought they were. And now I like it even more. Disclaimer: I don't pretend to understand this song completely (especially the origin of the title), but I really like that it makes me think. Any intuitive comments about the meaning of this song will be rewarded with great awe. Side note: all the "90's" references, I think, are meant to convey &qu

my very second blogger meet-up

I was remiss in posting about my very first blogger meet-up, which was over the Christmas holiday. Somehow, the stars aligned, and my sister & I (who live in Nashville) were able to meet Lisa (who lives in VA) and her family, in Florida. Nothin' like the comforts of common territory when meeting those all-elusive 'internet' friends for the first time. Lisa's dad is also a blogger, and the night before we all met, I happened to see a comment of his on my preacher's blog . Additionally, for the first time that night, I noticed that Lisa has blogrolled a friend of mine from college who I didn't even know had a blog. We can play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon later. I need to get back to my post here... But before I do, I want to say thanks to Lisa & her family for being my very first blogger meet-up! It was fun. But more than that, it brought a sense of satisfaction that this thing we all do called 'blogging' is not just a hobby, or a hope for recognition

a call for linkage

Warning: I'm about to be shameless. So a lot of you know that I write for another site called About Nashville hosted by 451Press.com. My editors are running a contest for their current writers that will pay $500 to the writer that can get the most incoming links during the month of July. Every time someone you link this blog or this site from your blog or site, I become one link closer to the cash victory. What's in it for you? My undying appreciation, of course. Kidding. I will return the favor with a little link love of my own for ya. So let's get linking!! Mama needs a new pair of shoes is trying to buy her first house this year! UPDATE : if you do choose to participate, please leave a comment or send me an email so I will know about it. Right now, I'm not sure I know any other way to catch your link.
