I bought some new shoes this week! First, I bought the blue Keens (on sale!) for walking and kayaking in Maine. Then, I spotted these ALegria's on sale at the neighborhood shoe emporium. My last purchase, today, had to do with the bench and dog attack in WC in May.....

FTLOC...the puss is in das boot! I kept thinking it was a bad sprain and that the swelling and pain would go away. Two months later, I finally saw an ortho PA and had extensive xrays, they slapped das boot on me and I return for an MRI tomorrow. Oh, joy...we leave for Maine on Friday! :roll: Guess, I'll sit around in the crisp air, enjoy the view and eat my fill of lobster!

Oh no photoshopping, we're gonna get our hands on it and decorate accordingly.

She has done some of her own mods already:

She's decided I'm her sowal biatch during her absence and will be sending pictures to post. Not sure if I'm honored or screwed. :blink:

...you should be soooooooooo honored! It's all the readers of sowal.com that are screwed.

Word to the wise...if this stuff annoys you, move on! :floor:

So, I guess this has turned into my travel blog. My new texting abilities have stunned many...including myself. My new Breeze phone is so easy to use...I took a pic, learned to send it and the rest is history. Although, swgb asked me if I had a texting plan. :yikes:

Guess we will find out next month. :shock:

Boy, do I have a story for all y'all! :wave:

If it annoys anyone, screw them. Those of us who know how monumental this is love it.
Story? Spill it.

...it's good to have a small fann base!

So, of course, I wake up at some uncodly hour...not sure what time, maybe 2 am. This place is a large B&B type hotel, so last night I had made sure they showed me how to get hot water for my coffee. This entailed walking through the dark dining room, into the dark kitchen. I used my handy dandy shellphone for a light source. Made my coffee and walked out the front door to have a smoke. Door closes...duh duh duh duh...I am locked out!!!!! :floor:

Have my smoke and start thinking....send swgb a text hoping he is awake. Then Skunky sends me a pic (a SKUNKAPE!), I tell him what's happened. All he says is..."where are you?" I knock and knock. I call Mr. K three times...he snoozes right through it. I find a phone book at the valet stand, look up hotel # and get a recording, call again and at the end it says to punch zero for immediate assistance. I wake up Larry, who gives me the code to open the door (I missed this important info at check-in

) I see Larry on the staircase and we have a laugh...people here are VERY nice! Yankees, rule!

It has poured and now is foggy as hail. Still waiting for a clear view of the water. Beaches are WAY different! Off to Portalnd when Mr. K gets off a conf call. I'll send swgb more pics as warranted. You poor poor souls. :floor:

Oh, Kitty. Did you have your cool boot on that looks like Tron? If no one let you in, you could have done the super hero bit and kicked it open. :floor:

If I had texting, I know I would have been texted at that hour. :wave:

BTW, the sun is moving your way.

Oh, Miss Kitty! What a hilarious story (although I'm sure it wasn't at the time)! Love your ingenuity in using the shell phone for light. :lol:

Hey, SWGB, since you're her biotch, you should set her up a blog with her trip reports and photos.

FBB was very impressed yesterday when he found out that you sent me a text. Now he wants to know if you have figured out how to stop calling yourself! :funn:

Is he off his conference call yet?

Hope it's cleared off for you.
Love the story. Larry'll remember you for a long time, I'm sure.

Got the message, got out of bed, read it, realized it was July so no frozen Kitty, went back to bed.

I also thought she meant the room so I figured she could sleep on a couch in the lobby if all else failed.

Kitty I'm loving this so much too!

You're a Maine-iac this week.

Will you be needing any help in translation? ie; Lobstahs, Cahs, Bahs?

I think we'll need to see the term "wicked good" and "thats a pissah" incorporated into your blog at some point.

Lunch at the place that apparently got one boot up followed by a protest of some sort.

Is Miss Kitty at Pride? :floor:

This was a protest for health care now down the streets of Old Port. I was in a cute shop buying stuff, Mr. K was outside watching. The salesgirl and I jumped outside to see if the voices were friendly or scary. Here is the transcript:

Head Bullhorn Protestor: What do we want?
Minions: HEALTH CARE!
HBP: When do want it?
Minions: NOW!
Mr. Kitty: Who's going to pay for it? :shock:
Miss Kitty: (grabbing Mr. K by the arm) Get inside, NOW!

MK, I just read this thread...so glad you made it to Maine, even with your boot! Just a good thing you flew into Portland and not Bangor, the security at Bangor would never have been the same after you and "da boot" -- they are "bears" at making one take everything off--and I mean everything!

Glad you guys are having funn -- enjoy for me too! And keep the stories and photos coming...I want to be there so badly--good news though, it's only 75 degrees here this morning. :clap:

Whew! I am breathing a huge sigh of relief, too. Bangor is where my sister lives. Had she and the Kitty had met up, it would have been me who was never the same! The two of them would have spilled all my deepest darkest secrets...I'd have been busted big time. I caught a lucky break! :lol:

So Kitty. It makes me happy that you have partaken of Maine's finest seafood, the kind that's served in a paper basket with the slice of lemon. Now that's gastronomy!

Have you and da boot dipped your toesies into the Atlantic yet? I am guessing not. You don't know cold til you know Maine cold. ;-)
