A week from Wednesday

In a week and a half, I start my 4th decade of life.

I am really going to miss my 20s. A lot has happened since May 17, 1996.

I got married
Finished college
Bought a house
Bought a mini-van
Sold the house
Bought another house
Sold the mini-van
Bought the SUV
Got 2 cats
Lost 1 cat
Got 3 daughters
Got another cat
Discovered the Internet
Made a career out of the Internet.

That’s just the last decade.

In my next post, I will look back at 30 years of my toys.

My Hotel Requirements

I found this link on CNN:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0322061cheney1.html

It is a list of Mr. Cheney’s hotel requirements.

I have decided to develop my own list of hotel requirements.

1 – A floor on the 2nd level or higher.
2 – Water glasses LARGER than a shot glass
3 – Just as areas are designated “Smoking and No-smoking”, please designate wings “Kids and No-kids”
4 – Don’t tease me with a laptop cable that ALMOST reaches the bed.
5 – Don’t tempt me with that $4 bottle of water on the dresser.
6 – Housekeeping must wait at least 3 seconds between the knock on the door and the entry.
7 – Radio must be pretuned to an English speaking station.
8 – Iron must be cleaned after previous guests use it to make grilled cheese sandwiches.
9 – At least 3 extra mini-coffee maker filters.
10 – Tips are placed on my pillow. Loose change on the floor is still mine.
11 – Windows overlooking the pool must open all the way, because I am TOTALLY going to do a cannonball!
