Okay, you know the verse, Isaiah 40:31 "Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary" Well the Eagle wings make me think of those wings pins the airlines give you and obviously they must not have been thinking of this verse when they picked this symbol! Flying to Seattle certainly has made me weary! Okay, I guess the verse says walk and run, maybe I should have tried those options?
I must be getting old. It used to be I looked forward to flying and I guess I still do a little. After all, it gives me at a minimum 3 hours of kid free time where I can read a book or do whatever I want even if it’s only a ½ hour puddle jumper flight! You know you have to be there a minimum of 1 hour or is it 2 now before your flight, then you sit on the runway for at least 15 minutes before actually taking off. Oh, and let me back up a bit, you’re now leaving late because no one wants to check baggage since it now costs extra so they all bring “carry ones” bigger than the bag I checked which I KNOW was over the carry-on size and guess what ? They won’t all fit on the plane so now they start checking luggage on the plane! Hmm…I didn’t see anyone whip out credit cards so maybe this is a way to get around the checked baggage fee? Just kidding…well, sort of!
So now after a “36” minute flight, small layover spent walking really fast through the airport, and another packed plane ride of 4 ½ (well more like 6 with the above mentioned delays) I made it to Seattle and I’m glad to be here so enough ranting!
We’re in Seattle for what we call “Rep Weekend”. It’s where Total Language Plus fly’s all the state representatives out and we do training, networking, eat a lot and have fun! Really we do get a lot of work done but we sure eat a lot of good food and have a lot of fun. Barbara really spoils us! It’s great to work for a company like that!
That brings me to my point and here’s where you come in. I just saw our 2009 catalog last night and it was mailed on 12/29 to past customers so if you haven’t received it yet or you want one just to check us out let me know. I would be happy to send it out. If you live in a state other than MI, IN or OH still let me know and I’ll pass that along to your rep (or go to our site, Total Language Plus and contact your state rep yourself if you’d like) really, they are all great people so you’ll love your rep too I’m sure! I do need your address to send you one so you may want to email me rather than leaving comment. Send your request to reyncg1@aol.com .
I’ll leave you with a picture out my front window from yesterday morning; I believe it was 4 degrees. I think it’s supposed to be in the 50’s today here and we’re eating lunch at a park, in January, can’t do that in Michigan! |
