Deserving it!

Ok, I totally deserve what happened to me today.  After making fun of my husband for being cold and wearing winter clothes, I'm talking dead of winter clothes, after opening our windows and doors on an A-typical day in Texas where it was actually below 70 degree, I suppose I got what I deserved.

I went to the grocery store, my phone fell out of my purse somewhere along the way unbeknownst to me.  I had my dear husband use the "findmyphone" app, and it said it was still at the grocery story. YES, I was so happy...I retraced my steps like 5 times, and I ran into the same pretty little wine taster girl, who stood by the meat department.  ON the fifth go round My daughter finally asked her if she had seen a phone.

"No," she said, but she could hear a ring tone of some kind coming from somewhere close by but she wasn't sure where it was coming from.  I yelled a "hooray" and told her I should have talked to her sooner.  She reminded me that she asked me the last time I passed her, if I had lost a phone, Oh Yeah, I thought...What had I said back to her then, she reminded me again, "no thank you I don't drink."  What?  I had misunderstood her, she said, "did you lose a phone," and I thought she said, "Do you wanna try our Merlot?" What. A. Frigging idiot I am!  I remembered struggling to put a few packages of meat into one of those plastic bags to keep the drippings away, I ran over to the meat chest and under a metal grate was my phone!

Ya, my husband might sit in a cold house with the window open dressed like an Eskimo, complaining about being cold, but I am the queen of losing my phone in the most ridiculous places and not listening too great either, I'd say, in this case, we definitely deserve one another!

Has it really been over a year since I last posted anything?  Yes, yes it has.  Well, I guess it's time for me to repent and make amends.  Last post was about Comic-Con 2012.  Once again my family trekked through airports to arrive in San Diego for yet another Comic-Con adventure, the 2013 version.  We were much wiser this time around, and ya know it  just wasn't as much fun as last year.  Oh, we had a great time, mind you, but the adventure of discovering a new world was no longer there.  We knew the ropes and just segued robotically through the whole Con.
Again my husband got the biggest amount of Swag, and since G4 is no longer a network, my older son was able to become the best celebrity watcher and photo taker there was.  My other son was hanging out with a cute girl he met last year, and he was actually a normal human being this time around.  Our youngest gave up the cos-play to just go with me to artist and writer panels, which I enjoyed doing with her. Our oldest, well she spent a lot of time at NERD HQ, which is NOT part of Comic-Con, but has celebrity panels and fun giveaways much like the Con, but in a smaller scale.  She was able to see the cast from Doctor Who, and meet some cool peeps like Nathan Fillion, and the guy who runs the whole show, Zachary Levi, you know him, the voice of Eugene (Handsome thief) from Tangled, and CHUCK of course!  The one thing we did differently was stay at a hotel and ride a bus to the Con each day instead of staying at my brother's beach house (which we did after the Con was over) that was different and wasn't too bad, we got to meet more people that way, which is always entertaining and interesting.
I was able to see some cool writers, all YA of course and learn more about how to write.  But now, after our second year at this great big smorgasbord called Comic-Con, I think we'll give it a rest and find a new adventure.  Maybe it will be taking our third child up to college, that can be an adventure right?
