Pearls of Wisdom and Foolish Mutterings

....and I'm here

Just landed about an hour ago at Schipol in Amsterdam. Long, long flight, but on the plus side, I watched two and 3/4 movies that I've been wanting to see. The first one was Doubt with Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It wasn't as good as I expected, but it's always worth it to watch anything that either of those two are in. And I have to say that Meryl Streep is the greatest actor of our time - she is awesome. Then I watched Nights in Rodanthe, which was totally lame, except for Richard Gere. I could just watch him do nothing for two hours and love it. Then I watched Changeling, but I didn't get to see the end of it because our plane landed. Maybe I'll catch it on the way back.

So I'm sitting here at Schipol waiting for hubby's plane to get here and he's not due until 10:40am. It's 7:55am right now, so it will be a while. We flew on different planes because I didn't decide I was going until about 2 weeks ago and to buy a ticket on the same flight would have cost me $2200. Is that not ridiculous? So, he flew Continental and I flew Delta. I like Delta - their planes start like they're supposed and we didn't splash-land in the water. Yay!

And, guess what? It's not cold here. Again. It's chilly, but that's all. But this time I prepared for that. I only brought a couple of big sweaters with me and no big coat. I brought my raincoat - minus the lining.

Wow - when I renewed my passport two years ago (for the last trip to Amsterdam) I had a really, really really seriously crappy hairstyle. You couldn't even rightfully call it a style of any kind. It was HIDEOUS! I look like a wrestler in my passport photo. Good God, it's beyond wretched.

I've been up for twenty hours straight now, so I know I'm rambling, but isn't that what you do after you've been awake that long?

I'll stop with the rambling for now, but rest assured I'll be back for another entry before long. And when I come back, I'll bring pictures.
