Well, I'm in Chicago safe & sound. Another smooth flight by the American Airline pilots.
I have to make this fast, because there is a 20 minute limit on WiFi use here. Unsure why. Oh well, I am enjoying my time just sitting here, because I'm sitting next to a 1st Sgt in the Air Force. His name is Mike, but that is all I can tell you & I can not share a picture of him because he's in intelligence. I won't even mention where he's coming from or going to. I will say this... he is a very nice gentleman.
And yes, I did thank him for his service! Any time I speak with a military person I thank them. For if it was not for them I would not have this option to talk with you.
Well, I just looked at my battery strength & I'm down to 11 minutes... So, I best wrap this up so I won't loose it.
Toodles & Hugs! :)

On my way home
Here I am sitting in Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix, Az waiting to board my plane. I will be flying into Chicago O'hare, where I will have a 2 hour lay over. So, this may not be my 1st blog today. ;o)
This is nice, last year in Columbus airport I could not get connected to the internet.
Anyway, I do apologize for not posting much while I was here. Dad & J (my step-mom) kept me busy. So, I'll need a vacation from my vacation! LOL! Isn't that always the case?
Let's see, let me recap my time... As mentioned in the prior blog, I was greeted with the most beautiful site. (Pictures on that blog.)
After shopping on Sunday we all went to the pool & jacuzzi at night. Oh & yeah, Dad got me to go into the sauna... it was awful! LOL! Even J. had a hard time breathing. So, she & I went back to the pool... where they keep it at 92 degrees year round.
Dad insisted that we go in the jacuzzi last so that we'd be warm on the walk back home. (100 ft!) LOL!!! You know what, he was right!!
That was a gorgeous night. Dad even pointed out what he calls Uncle Sam's star. (That's his brother.) See, he was in the pool one night, looked up to the sky & said "Bro, if you're watching give me a sign." (or something like that) & just then the clouds parted to reveal a single started.
Well, I guess we're about to board... So, let me tell you this... Monday we went to Sedona which was a nice time. The red in the mountains is gorgeous... However, the town is basically a tourist trap. So many shops & etc, but quite expensive. I did find a couple good deals on a couple t-shirts.
Tuesday we relaxed in the morning, I took a short nap & at noon J & I went to the mall. (After I exchanged shoes I had bought at Wal-Mart the other day. That's a funny story... I was trying them on when I got home & noticed that one was a 9 & the other was a 10. I laughed thinking... only me!! LOL!!
While at the mall we so the most adorable puppies. In the window was a Great Dane that was a grey color with black spots. It was the most precious looking thing! Good thing I didn't live near by!! KIDDING!!
Then we go home & we did a web call with my sister, Gina. That was fun. But we had audio trouble. Hopefully we can get that squared away when I get home.
Well... I best be packing up. If I have time & can get a connection in Chicago, I will try to post some pictures.
Toodles & Hugs! :)

A birthday... & 1st Day in Az
I hope this finds that you & yours had a Happy & Joyous filled Easter. Well, I am in Arizona & was greeted with the most beautiful sight... so, I whipped out my camera & had dad roll down the window. & got this shot at the right. J, my step-mom turned around & back & said, oooh look a double. This time Dad wouldn't roll the window down... so that's why this one has spots. But I think it enhances the photo. (you can click on either one to enlarge. :o)
Btw: both were taken with my LG enV2 cell phone!! :o)
Well, tomorrow is another long day, we're going to Sedona. Hope to have lot of picture to upload then.
I'me exhausted & so, I'll talk at you all later! **HUGS**
P.S. DAD'S BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW... (April 13th) will you, please, drop your wishes off here, pretty please! ... because he does read my blogs faithfully! :) Thank you :o)

Arizon or bust!!
Where did that saying come from... Your destination or bust??? (Just thinking out loud!)In less than 24 hours I should be aboard a plane bound for Dallas where I'll change planes & then be headed to Phoenix.
Wow... my trip is ALMOST here!! WHEW!! Last couple days I've been bouncing off the wall, practically! I'm SOOOO NERVOUS!! AND excited!!
Mainly nervous that about flying. I love to fly... but I didn't have a good flight last year. The pressure was unbelievable... plus my back injury didn't help either.
Well, this time, I will be more prepared & I know what to expect. Plus, my back has been pretty good for more than a week now... KNOCK ON WOOD!! I can't say that it will be like that when I arrive in Az... but we'll see... As I said, I'm prepared... with Ibuprofen and of course Vicodin!
I can't talk to long... I still need to run to Wal-Mart to get a couple things I've forgot last time I went... (read: didn't have enough cash at the time!) Stuff like GUM... I'm going to need GUM for the plane!! I usually will go through about 4 pieces in one flight. Mainly because I have to spit out what I chewed during take off to eat. & Gum pieces now are little... need 2 pieces!! LOL!!
Can you tell, I'm nervous?? I'm also nervous, because I'm afraid of missing my flight... or they'll find my bags to be too heavy or ... well, anything & everything!!
I don't know how I'll miss my flight... it's at 1:50p & we're leaving the house at 10a & it only takes about 90 minutes to get to the airport from our house. So... I think I'll have plenty of time to get there!! LOL.
What really has me nervous is my connecting flight... it's only 40 minutes in between. And I just saw that I have to go from terminal A to terminal C... & I hear Dallas FW is a huge airport... I just hope they have one of them electric carts waiting at the gate!!
I sure hope my departure from Columbus isn't late!!
Ok, it's almost 3:00p & I want to go & get home so I can come back & relax & get to sleep early...
Oh, speaking of... last 2 nights I've gone to bed at a decent time... & again for the 2nd day today, I woke up in the morning!! 8:00a.m.!! WOO HOO! (Yesterday I was up at 6:00a.m.!!) Let's just hope this trip & the jet lag doesn't mess me up again!!
Before I go... below is my Twitter "badge" ... you can use that to read updates that I'll be texting while at airports & etc.
To see past "tweets" just click the arrows on the badge. :o) This is also on my front / home page in my Welcome box.
That's about it for now. Take care everyone & I'll see you in Arizona!! (Yeah, I'll blog while I'm there... just like last year!!) I'll even post some pics too!

Arizona PREVIEW
I received an email from my dad yesterday with a link to Sedona, AZ. He said they're going to take me there while I am out visiting him.
With a view like that, my camera will get a work out, that's for sure! I just only wished I had a better one. However, I think I should not have a problem because it's all landscape.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that link with you. (It's above in the town name.)
Toodles! :)

And In The End... (updated)
And In The End...Sound familiar? If you were watching ER tonight, it should! That is the title of the SERIES Finale! Yes, after 15 years, ER has come to an end.
This whole season has been spiced up with bringing back all the favorites from the past... & letting us know where they are now. (If not deceased.)
I can't give you a synopsis or even a review on tonight's show just yet... because I haven't watched it yet. I have it paused on my DVR ready to roll. I was just trying to finish up here & settle back to watch it, when I saw the article on Yahoo... & thought I'd share this with you while it was on my mind.
Since it's a 2 hour show, I won't be back tonight to give my thoughts on it... Look for an updated version of this in the next day or so.
Until then... TOODLES & HUGS!!
(Blog image from: Google.)
**********
UPDATE:
After watching the show, I was pleased how they wrapped up each of the story lines. However, they did open some more... maybe to leave it available to bring back, even just for a reunion show.
They even brought a 2nd generation doctor into the ER... but she had just started med school. Had they really wanted to keep the show going, they could have pulled it off with Dr. Greene's daughter and her progress.
It's sad to see the show end. But I think it's had it's time in the spotlight.
Now we'll see how it's successor ("Southland") will do. The previews do look good.
If you didn't get to see the Series Finale of "ER", I believe you can find it at NBC.com.
Have a GREAT weekend! :)

A quick message... maybe
Hi all... just stopping by to let you know I'm still around. Just have been kind of in the mode of having to do a lot of stuff, but getting nothing accomplished. At least that's the way it seems.
Been trying to get things set up for prescription assistance. Have had to go to the doctors office twice now to just pick up stuff, including samples of sleep meds. Unfortunately he doesn't have samples of Ambien CR... so, I'm stuck taking Rozerem (sp?) ... & it's been tough switching over to it.
However, I have saved 4 of my Ambien CR for when I'm at my dad's. (In NINE days!! WOO HOO!!).. So, hopefully, I can get some nice solid sleep while I'm there.
Because of not having insurance anymore, I have to go to the generic Ambien... & last time I was on it, it did nothing for me. So... hopefully this time it will, for I have no choice. At least it won't be near as bad as the Rozerem... because that stuff make me have some off the wall dreams.
Not that my dreams are normal... but these have been out of the norm, even for me! Disturbing type... even close to nightmarish... IF I sleep at all that is! Last couple nights have been awful. So, we'll see tonight.
I can't get the generic Ambien until Monday. So, for now I've been just sleeping when I can.
Hence another reason for my quietness!
Don't forget, I'm on Twitter too... now, I've been talked into doing a Facebook profile... but that's just going to be for very very close friends & family... so, if you try to look up Lady Harley on Facebook... you'll get several hits. But none will be me!
Ok, I have dishes to get into the dishwasher.
Toodles! :)
