Okay, so wait, prepster. You want to be Indiana Jones but are actually Eva Gabor? This seems to me to be an acceptable trade-off, except perhaps for the kitchen hacksaw.

Bed seats are so worth it.
Lolol! I suppose it's fine to be a cupcake as long as you're not trying to dress a bad-*&#. I just need to embrace my inner Green Acres, or align my past and present or my Chakras (whatever those are) or live in the Now or something like that.
Yes bed seats are worth it. Long haul is probably the best use of upgrade miles etc. That flight was supposed to be a 3 hour layover in LHR from Toronto to Dubai for a wedding. Not only did I spend 14 hours at the airport, but my luggage didn't make the connection. They kept changing the boarding time by a couple of hours, until 2 am when the flight finally took off - the whole area was empty- can you imagine a deserted Terminal 3/5? And when I got to the gate, the attendant grimly ripped up my boarding pass and printed me a new one. I was so tired I didn't even realize or ask until I got to check my seat and it was in BC.
As usual our conversation here has caused me to turn to the omniscient Google with the thought-provoking question, "do pigs have Chakras?" Yes, it would appear so. Although I am still unclear about what a Chakra is, I am happy to report that guinea pigs have 8 of them, and oinky pigs have 7. This makes me oddly happy to know.
Beautiful!
That sounds marvelous Genie! The upgrade, not the 14 hrs. In the airport. Did your luggage ever arrive?

Such a beautiful garden! Great idea to bring some of it inside!
Thank you. That wall of flowers hides out backup generator. [emoji23]
Our favorite color! I thought of you when I was picking them.
Thank you. Full credit to the former owner who designed it. And the garden.
Oh I love pink and purple too. Ours are all blue. Or white. The ones closer to the foundation of the house don't bloom as bright. I keep trying to acidity the soil to make them brighter but I'm afraid to overdo it. The two bushes at the end are the white kind with beige pink accents. I forget the name. I used to know. They will bloom later in the summer.
DH and I were just coming off a stressful house situation when we bought this house and specifically didn't want a renovation project. I was working a lot of hours. I hired the former owner's garden team and said keep it alive and her decorator and said recreate the same look. Even that was a fair amount of work. I don't know how people manage house construction or remodeling projects. I'm in awe.
The decorator was great. She knew to give me limited choices. I can pick from three options without too much stress. [emoji23]
