July 2008
As previously mentioned (once or twice) our connecting flight from Atlanta to New York was cancelled last night. We were booked onto the 6.40am flight the next morning instead. We went on standby for another flight but had no luck. At this point John had to make the phone call - Hello new boss, I will be 3 hours late for the first day of my brand new job. Nice.
Anyway Delta Airlines kindly...
At dinner on our last night....
Mr K: OMG, what is that smell?
John: You can smell that? But it’s so windy. How can you possibly smell that?
Me: JOHN! You are upwind of us. You can’t fart when you are upwind of us
(Mr K has to physically leave the table at this point)
Me: Please don’t fart at the dinner table
John: OK. I will save it for the bedroom. (BIG grin)
Me: Sigh.
Walking through Atlanta airport at 5am looking for...
Me: (Singing) Gooooooooodbye Ruby Tuesday
John: Please stop being so happy or I might have to punch you in the head. It’s 5am.
Me: (Singing louder) GOOOOOOODBYE Ruby Tuesday
Sitting at the marina...
John: How long do you think it would take to get caught if we stole one of these boats?
Me: Not very long
John: We would get caught as soon as we had to give the boat name when we checked into a new country
Me: We could easily forge boat papers and change the name
John: True. We should look into this when we get home
Corkers from last week
I didn’t have access to internet all week (despite paying for an hour a day) so I have saved up some of the best quotes which I will post tonight.
I will start with this one. John and I had a discussion about different aspects of sailing.
John: I liked it when you didn’t know anything about sailing. I could make shit up and you believed me
Me: Why do you think I learned how to...

I am halfway through reading the book above which details out a 21 day cleanse which I plan on starting in the next week. I have to give up the following for 21 days:
sugar
alchohol
caffeine
gluten
animal products (this means meat AND dairy)
Do I need to remind you that I have SIX pints of ice cream arriving this week.
WatchI know I said the Soggy Dollar Bar is my favourite but I forgot about Sidney’s Love & Peace Bar which is a serve yourself bar. What a brilliant idea.
They don’t appear to tip in quite the same way as in NY.
Mr K: Is that the woman with the beard?
Me: There’s a sentence I wasn’t expecting to hear
All 4 of us discussed in great detail a particular person who works for the charter company because we couldn’t figure out if he/she was a man with boobs or a woman with a beard.
I was sent this today and I really like it....
To all those who want desperately for me to succeed. To all those who want me never to experience the pain of failure. To all those who watch and wonder if I really know what I’d doing. To all those who stand in judgment, waiting for the other shoe to drop. To all those who look to me for proof of what’s possible. To all those who only want the very best for me. To all those who love...
The dessert was pretty good at the drinks function.
Me: Can I have a taste?
John: Yes but taste it with your eyes.
Berry: How do you know what to blog?
Me: Oh, I’m just really intelligent

Erm, my blackberry just started working again. Moody bugger. What am I going to do with the warranty replacement that is waiting for me at home?
Handbags at dawn →
I went to a work drinks function last night where I was chatting with a group of Americans and one English guy. We were talking about how we use different words to Americans and I turned to my English friend and said, when was the last time you heard someone say ‘Handbags’?
He burst out laughing and said months. We tried to explain what it means to the Americans but considering they...
Me: Mum, I need your address
Mum: Why?
Me: I need to add you as a beneficiary of my life insurance
Mum: Ooooh, how much do I get if you die?
Me: Not enough to bother putting a hit on me
