Quick Thoughts

I'm sorry I've been away.  Last week technical difficulties plagued my computer and my life.  Once I got those straightened out, international travel took over.  My soul is still catching up with my body, consequently I'm not capable of terribly developed thoughts.  Today I give you quick thoughts.

Quick Thought #1 - It seems in Europe (and actually in parts of the States) it's acceptable for your skin to be covered but for nothing to be left to the imagination..  I won't be too surprised if soon body paint is acceptable in place of clothes.

Quick Thought #2 - Having an empty seat next to you on a cross-Atlantic flight is a wonderful blessing.

Quick Thought #3 - Wellies are the footwear fashion trend that will hit the States next.

Quick Thought #4 - I'm not sure I ever had as much energy as the group of teens I'm hanging out with this week.

Quick Thought #5 - I'm amazed by the force of personality of some kids.  They give an order and people all around rush to comply.  I still haven't figured out from  where that confidence and authority emanates.  I just hope those kids use their power for good and not evil.

Quick Thought #6 - When in Hungary be sure to distinguish A menu from THE menu.  You might wind up eating something you never expected to eat if you don't.

Quick Thought #7 - Tylenol PM (or it's generic equivalent) may be my new favorite traveling companion.

Quick Thought #8 - You can learn lots of names in a relatively short amount of time when each name is attached to a hand motion and an alliterative adjective.

Quick Thought #9 - I need to travel with Febreze (or it's generic equivalent).

Quick Thought #10 - I love working with TCKs!

What are some of the thoughts flitting through your brain?
