I always thought that this was an interesting picture of a rose bud. I took this photo a couple of years ago. The rose is Just Joey, a rose that has truly lovely very large blooms, and a scent that’s worthy of taking a moment to smell.

This weeks theme is Classic
This rose, Double Delight, is a true classic. It’s been a well loved, much planted hybrid tea rose in many a garden over the years.
Not only is this rose popular in modern gardens, it’s a true classic beauty.

Speaking of traveling, if my husband doesn’t get too panicked while flying next week, and if my ears make it through, I’d like to start doing a lot more traveling. After all, when I purchased our tickets and hotel package for Vegas we ended up getting a membership with a travel club. I figure we might as well take advantage of the deals on packages, flights and hotel stays if we’re up for it.
I’ve never been to New York city so I’m picturing us going there for at least a long weekend, maybe a trip to Chicago on another extended weekend to see Chris’ brother and various other short vacations here and there too. Who knows, maybe we’ll even take a trip out west to Vancouver to see my brother and some of our friends too.
Can you tell that I’m sick of being cooped up in this house! Uh huh. Trying being sick for two years. I’ve got a yearning to travel, or well – just get out of here for a while.
One place that might be nice to visit is Pigeon Forge cabins in the Smokie mountains. The cabins look beautiful with hot tubs outdoors and beautiful scenery from every window. Perhaps we could make it a ski vacation?
Now that’s a laugh. The super klutz wants to go skiing. I’ll probably come back with a broken leg!
You’ve got to see the post my husband put up on Odd Planet earlier today. It’s so funny!
It’s a video called “the best of talking cats” and wow, the cats really do sound like they are saying words like Hello, Mommy and well one sounds like it can talk in garbled sentences. I think the same cat gets really excited and makes a lot of noise when it gets pet too.
I love taking a stroll over to Youtube and finding cool videos like that. Perhaps I’ll visit again later tonight and see if I can find some more good ones for this site.
I’m getting all geared up for the trip to Vegas next week. We’re going to the Blogworld and Postiecon conventions and I’ve been busy trying to get everything I’ll need prepared for the trip.
I’m excited and nervous about going to Las Vegas all at the same time.
I’m excited because it’s the first time I’ve flown anywhere this century!
Now that I wrote that, it kind of sounds weird doesn’t it, but honestly, I haven’t been on a plane since oh … 1998. I’m also nervous because every time I do travel by plane my ears hurt like crazy. I used to be able to fly without any problems, but ever since I got my tonsils out at the tender age of 21 my ear drums just about explode when I fly. Seriously, I’ve gone to the doctor after a flight and been told that my ear drums were so inflamed that the doctor was surprised they didn’t burst.
Chris, my husband, is afraid of flying. So between the two of us – me likely with a face full of gum and swallowing like crazy with a pained look on my face and my husband trying to stave off a panic attack we’ll probably be quite the pair.
I’m also nervous because I agreed to speak or well, be on a panel, at Postiecon and well … I’m kind of shy, especially in crowds. I probably won’t really start having fun on the trip until I get that over with on Saturday morning.
I think I’ll just write off Thursday evening. If we feel up to it we’ll try to get together with some of our blogging friends, but I think Chris will be tired as he’ll be taking ativan or valium for the flight, and well, I’ll be full of decongestant, allergy meds, aspirin and anything else I can get my hands on to keep my ears from becoming inflamed during the flight. The last time I flew I was pretty buzzed for about 12 hours when I landed. All those meds took a toll on me. So I think we’ll be in flight recovery mode Thursday night.
Are you going to Vegas next week for the blogging conventions?
