A few days ago I made last minute hotel reservations with a genial young man on the hotels.com hotline. I requested a single room for four days in San Diego, starting today.
"Will you be needing a king or two queens?" he asked, not entirely innocently. He had been chatty throughout the entire process and I found it amusing to be flirting on the telephone with an agent named Brandon while holding tube of diaper rash ointment in one hand and a handful of cotton underwear from the laundry pile in the other.
"Oh, two queens. My girlfriend and I are traveling together."
"Oh yeah? Party time or work time?"
"Brandon, it will definitely be a party to remember. We're headed to the National PTA Convention. I get to meet Maya Angelou and Dr. Sanjay Gupta! [hot doctor who writes for Newsweek and is on tv all the time] Whoo hoo!"
He was all business after that. But I did make him laugh.
PTA - Partying T & A? Not quite. But I hope I get a picture with Dr. Gupta.

Oh thank goodness you're back!
After your post from last Thursday, I was afraid Something Had Happened...
Have fun party mama!
You need to post that photo of you with Dr. Gupta.
Fun times. :)
Whoo! There ain't no party like a PTA party.
beck just made me snort!
Gupta AND Angelou in one fell swoop? You lucky woman!
Nothing says "good ole drunk fest" like a bunch of parents talkin' education. Pass the tequila shooters.
I'm kind of a goofball but I have no idea what PTA stands for!
Whoo hoo! Have fun!
Have a great time!
Oh Brandon - he clearly has no idea how to really party!
Next on Bravo: The Cougars of the PTA
(surely the reality show lineup could handle one more?)
Party
Through
All
Hope you have a great trip!
Have fun. I saw Maya Angelou speak a few years ago and have never been the same since - you are one lucky girl! :)
maya angelou! awesome!
and somehow I think you'll manage to get a little partying in on the side. ;)
I just discovered Dr. Sanjay and your blog and must say I'm excited about both!
I am sure it is nice to know that you still "Got It"
