countdown/waiting/killing time/filling the last few hours

YES!

it's sunday and i'm waiting for phone calls.

OK, really?

i'm waiting for one call from the ATL (also known as Atlanta Hartsfield Airport).

the MITM is scheduled to touch down stateside this afternoon. in fact, according to his itinerary, he should have landed already, then at some point, start walking down to collect his luggage, go through customs, return same for placement on the last leg home, have his passport stamped  and then, wander on over to the gate for his trip down to SAV. but according to delta.com, the damn flight is still in flight. *sigh*

sometimes, too much information, isn't enough information. or maybe it's just the wrong information.

so, here i am. talking to all y'all because it's keeping me busy and keeping me from fretting.

i've decided to do a list of the members of the coconut krewe because some new friends have stumbled on to the plantation and need to know who i'm talkin about!

the MITM is the Man In The Moon aka the Husband aka the-guy-who-thinks-he's-the-boss-of-me

captain chaos is #1 son  and married to Stretch aka The Girl 

dr. T is #2 son  and married to The Dancing Lady

mr moose is #3 son and married to Miss Nan

super nana is our ONLY daughter and married to mr. matrix

there ya go. those are the players.

i have to check flights again.

and just like that, the phone rang!

  1. Funny how a ringing phone can sound exactly like angelic voices pouring down from the heavens. Congrats on all accounts. Especially the bump.

  4. I've seen many reasons for a post but yours this time is first for me. I always thought (I might just continue thinking) the second 'M' in MITM stood for Mansion. Did you look to see if the flight left late? It's amazing the info available today.

  5. Somehow, I can't see anyone being the boss of you... except you! ;-)

    So happy that the MITM is almost home (or maybe even already home, depending on what time it is now) and hoping for another call from the West Coast with news of the baby et al!

    What an exciting day for you! xoxoxo

  6. Well even after all this time, I liked the kid update...cause I think I was missing one! (Not Super Nana, of course....girls stand out in that crowd!)

    Hopefully MITM is home and you no longer wish to spend time with us. Well...until there's baby news to share. :)

  15. Waiting can be a terrible thing, and constantly updating those flight tracker sites doesn't help, does it?

    And thanks for the run down of the crew. I'll confess—all this time, I only pretended to know what MITM stood for.

  16. While the MITM finally touched down (I am not in football), what's with the new human?

    I seriously hope that all is good. It's always a bit like gamble, ain't? "It" happens always, at any time, all around the world - but it's a constant wonder, always difficult, dangerous too, always new, if there's a reason for prayer, besides the end of the journey, then it's the start - Holy crap be well!
