Rachel - "Are you going to write about how you missed your flight?"
Me - "I don't know.  It's a sore subject."
Rachel - "Yeah, you might lose your credibility.  I mean, you're the vacation girl... they're going to be like, 'I'm not listening to her.  She can't even make her flight.'"


It's still a sore subject.  But I'm going to tell you anyway.  Something I realized a few years ago is that it's people's imperfections that make them interesting... relatable... imperfections make people likable.  So I'm going to admit my mistake to you in hopes that maybe you'll like me for it... or at least maybe you can find some joy by laughing at me.

So I think in order for you to truly understand my stress level when talking about Fish Extender Gifts and Door Magnets, you need to know my schedule in the weeks leading to the cruise....

The week April 28-May 2 was exam week. I had to finish up graphics for a curriculum research creative inquiry that I had been taking, make a book of my work for freehand drawing class, and make final adjustments and fabricate the prototype for our flat-pack greenhouse for another creative inquiry; Check it out!

I spent Friday afternoon laser cutting the FE gift keychains, and then I had to pack...

Because Saturday, May 3, I drove to Destin, Florida for a beach trip that Rachel had planned with two of our friends. We returned Thursday evening (May 8).
