Aaaaaand Cut!

Sometimes don't you think maybe it would be nice to hear those words. Then all the crazy, ridiculous, frustrating, dramatic, or chaotic things happening in your life could just become complete fiction and abruptly halt with two little words.

Aaaaaand Cut!

Then normal, happy, regular life would continue.

OK, so maybe you don't think that. Or maybe even just thinking in my own head right now has given me a different perspective on my own circumstances.

More importantly, this blog needs to inform all of you that my sweet husband did indeed make it through the "worst ice storm in five years" to his desired destination on Tuesday night.

Followed by a surreal ride in a shuttle (because once he got to his destination city there were no taxis at the airport) with a couple other guys who were complete strangers to John.

I say surreal because, according to John, this is how the conversation went:

Guy 1 to John: "So, where are you coming from?"
John: "Dallas."
Guy 1: "Are you going to the Wingate?"
John: "No." (While thinking in his head, "What is that? A hotel? A conference?")
Guy 2: "I'm going to the Wingate."
Guy 1: "Yea. You could stay someplace with more comfortable beds, but if you stay at the Wingate you get a car."
(At this point John tells me he is busy contemplating what in the heck this means: "They give you a car with your hotel room? It's so cheap and nasty you can rent a car and still be under budget?" And then...)
Guy 2 to John: "So, are you the Controller of DFW?"
John: "No." (While thinking in his head, "What?!? Where did that come from?")

Anyway, he's coming back home tonight...where the conversations are less strange.

A little.
