Deep in the heart of TX

I ran away from home earlier this week. Sunday afternoon I left for Dallas – D and C went to church, and I headed for the airport. I wasn’t looking forward to the trip, since I dislike flying by myself, but once I get to where I’m going I’m ok.

A few tips about TX – everything in TX IS bigger. Including my hair for some reason. I didn’t do anything different, but somehow my hair had more body, and while not at the height attained in the 80’s, was noticeable (at least to me!).

Nothing is marked well – even the airport is on a need to know basis it seems. I didn’t get a GPS system for the rental car (I mean, this is America, eventually you’ll find your way) but next time I think I’ll spring for it (ok, technically the company will).

And I thought rotaries were only in Mass. Nope, TX has them too. Luckily the drivers there seem to be a bit more cautious (instead of whizzing through at 100 mph).

The best part? The weather! It was warm – we actually wrapped up early (3 pm) and headed back to the hotel before going to dinner. I spent about 45 minutes outside in the sunshine by the pool…just closed my eyes and recharged my solar batteries, listening to the birds sing and enjoying the warm breeze. Of course, when I landed back in Hartford on Wed, I drove home through snow flurries.

The part of TX I was in has some great restaurants – in fact, I’ve never been anywhere where there’s so many to choose from! We had steak (we’re in TX!), steak, and seafood (being “steaked” out by our final night).

And now I’m back. I can’t believe Easter is next week. I don’t know if I can last the 27 days ‘til vacation. Will it ever warm up here??

What’s new with everyone else??
