SO we have arrived in New Hampshire, got in late last night........We have a little studio set up, like a little apartment.... and it is sweet and nice.....the ride was easy but we had a near catastrophe on our journey, that is a nod to my way of life.....By nature I am a kinda roll with it all, fly by the seat of my pants kinda girl.....I tend to work better under pressure......wanting to tick off my tasks as they come....not too far ahead of time.....Case in point....Recently I had drug my feet some on my observation lesson plan this year, and what I had planned....I had a lot going on at the time and needed to take care of one thing at a time......and then when I needed to get to it, I did, and the lesson turned out amazing, my vision coming to life, and I worked hard at designing it all, hours....and my principal loved my idea, and so did my kiddos:) and it all came together....but last minute for sure....and I am not sure what that is in me.....but it has always been there......and it works for me mostly, till it doesn't..;-)and when I planned this trip.....I had a global plan.....getting the hotel....knowing we wanted to see the Ice Castles....and maybe grab dinner out.....but I will never be an itinerary human.....I like to let stuff sorta unfold as it does, with a general plan....and roll with it....which is kinda the story of my life....and sometimes plan A doesn't work.....and even B doesn't or C.....and you must embrace Z......and I am a problem solver, so I don't get frustrated or hung up when something falls apart, instead I seek to make a new plan and fix it.....and that is where we are this weekend, due to this part of my personality lol:) I called the hotel on the way to let them know we would be later than 10 so they could leave our key in their mailbox....and I started to ask the guy about the Ice Castles and best time to go.....and he said what time are your reservations? And I said I don't have them yet, was going to go online and order them tomorrow....and he said well they sell out, and they might be sold out already.......WHAT????!!! Instant dread hit....like omg we just drove all this way to not execute our plan, yikes! So Kendall grabbed her phone, because I was driving....and she looked....and she found tickets available.......but we will be visiting the Ice Castle from 10pm to 11:30pm tonight! LOL.....And while not plan A.....it is an attraction that people choose to see at night....mostly.....so that is cool, we will for sure be doing that.....;-) I feel like the magic will be extra by accident......wandering around late at night, and basking in the magic....and missing all the crowds lol......luckily the crew I am rolling with is go with the flow too and not mad at me.....and Kendall just jumped into action....and didn't get annoyed and that is one of the many reasons we are such good friends....:) and it truly never occurred to me that since it is outside, that getting tickets ahead of time was crucial....and I felt I had time......but not the case.....so some divine juju had me have that chat with the desk clerk, getting the heads up while we could still save the weekend! :) And for that I am grateful....And that is why I guess I always trust it all.....because it always works out.....no matter what......and normally what comes together in my alternative plan space is better than my original.....so.....it keeps my procrastination alive and well....lol:) and I have also learned that as I let stuff flow, and don't get too uptight about stuff, that what is supposed to happen and flow will....I enjoy stuff more......not getting wound up in minute details....but I get it is not for everybody lol........I am trusting that this plan emerging......will be that.....It will be cold....for sure....and he said people don't go for more than an hour or hour and a half due to that...so it is open till 11:30.....so that will be perfect! It is super close to where we are staying....so going there late won't be a challenge....and the weekend was saved.....and I am betting that PLAN Z will be pure magic, stay tuned tomorrow ;-)
