Do you ever?

Do you ever check into a hotel, draw the blackout shades, turn on some white noise, and then wake up at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AS YOU ALWAYS DO the next morning?

Do you ever tell yourself, "No, go back to sleep! You can sleep past 6:00!" but the more you talk to yourself, the more awake you become?

Do you ever calculate how non-scary you have to make yourself look to leave your hotel room and get breakfast downstairs?

Do you ever wonder if you're the only person in the world who can spill coffee from a spill-proof mug?

Do you ever wonder how it could be possible that you wake up with puffy eyes when you ate a salad for dinner the night before?

Do you ever wonder whose job it is to create, manufacture, distribute, sell, and install automatic toilet seat covers, like they have in Chicago's O'Hare airport?

You and me both, dude.

P.S. I'm here in Tulsa! Come say hello today at Loops South!

You were at OHare and didn't tell me? I was 30 minutes away from there yesterday! An hour from my house! Next time Yarnista should tell her Chicago fans.

And for breakfast I just say psh. If it's late enough I just go down in my pjs. I'd rather people see me in pjs and a hat and get breakfast than look pretty and miss it.

Trunk show was a Win! After spending the day out with errands and test-driving a fuscia Challenger (!!!), the Portage colorway was even prettier than I remembered! Thanks for coming south for us! :)

Wish we had those toilets in our local establishments. heh

Glad everything went well. One day I'll be there to see all the goodies and ohhh and ahhh. I might even save some money to buy a skein or two. :-)

I must say that I love those toilet seat covers at O'Hare. I just find them fascinating. Stupid, I know. I also understand all the other hotel stuff. I would also add:

How sleazy do I feel throwing money on the bed for the housekeeping staff. I wish they'd just let us leave a thank you note with the tip on the dresser, I mean honestly I feel like "10 cents a dance girl" or something equally as lewd.

Have a great trip. Tulsa is a fun place for conventions.

Hey! I just found you on Ravelry. With a name like 'Three Irish Girls' I could not resist. Travel adventures are the best....I can relate. I honestly have to admit that we don't have toilets like those here. Do you ever come to Pittsburgh???
