Happy Hour - Vacation Style





Hi everyone and welcome to a special edition of Happy Hour Friday. Why is it so special? Cuz I'm on vacation so it's going to be super short.

Actually, that's all I was going to say, but I have to tell you I'm happy about one other thing:

I have got the BEST SISTER IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD. Sorry folks, but she's my sister, not yours. Yesterday Bob and I were at the airport about to take the long and arduous trek through security when I realized I didn't have my awesome Crumpler camera bag.
No big deal, right? Well, had it only been my camera, I would have been bummed but could have gone on without it. BUT since I was using it as my carry-on bag, it also had all my medication AND my jewelry! I was so... so... I don't even know what I was. Amazed that I would have left something like that at home. I called Barb:
Barb: Hello?
me: what are you doing?
barb: I just got home and let the dogs out.
me: I forgot my camera bag... it has all meds in it
barb: well, then I'm going to the airport.

Period. That was it. No hemming and hawing. No "you stupid sister, how could you forget?" She just got in her car and drove to my house, said hi to my dogs and got my bag, then drove the 30 miles to the airport. Just to help out her little dumb-ass sis.

Don't you wish you had a sister like her? Well go see Barb and tell her she's awesome. She really is ya know.

If you want to join just click Mr Linky and meet me at the bar. I'll be here all week!

Dang! Lucky you! I'm pretty sure my sister, if she lived in the same state as me, would do the same for me. I'm pretty lucky too.

Enjoy your trip!

I didn't do a happy hour.... cos I was sad... that you went on vacay with Bob and left me here!!! :(

Amanda said...

Awww that is a good sister.

My brother would have taken that opportunity to TAKE all my meds hoping that something in there might give him a high. Idiot. Oh and he doesn't have a license.

Yeah. I think sisters are better!
