Sidetracked....

The idea was a simple reunion trip - just a quick weekend away... But then reality hit.

Reality begins with me losing my cellphone on the way to LAX and not realizing it until I was in the air. Throw in a few reminders that "it was a quarter century ago" when my sorority sisters and I founded our chapter; seeing the nicest mansion I've ever seen (and that's saying A LOT!) and realizing it was built by my college roommate's LITTLE sister, and realizing I will NEVER get to live that well; a fabulous family pizza night that turned into a surprise birthday party for me....those are the good highlights.

And then there is the bad part of reality... TWO rounds of iv antibiotics after my doctor tracked me down to tell me the nasty spider bite I had lanced before leaving has a nastier staph infection! And... two missed flights home: one for medical reasons, one for snow!

So, I'm still in Baton Rouge for a few more hours.

Hope you all are having a terrific week!
