Malfunctioning UMBRELLA!!!!

So yesterday, I donned by flying suit, unfurled my newly starched cape, and opened my umbrella in order to take to the skies and make the journey back to Jamaica to see my family for Christmas. On the way, I kept thinking of what I was going to cook for Christmas dinner, seeing that I am again declining to offer myself as the main course!

I caught my connecting umbrella to Jamaica around 7:00PM. I got onboard and settled in for the flight. We left late due to luggage issues. While in flight, we had turbulence almost the entire way! During the flight, I heard God say to me that something going to happen but that I was going to be alright. So I began to pray. Not in a panic, just...pray. As the umbrella began to make its final approach, I noticed that we were still too high in the air for the actually landing. I expected the pilots to abort and try again. Oh yes. And it was raining cat, dogs, and chickens as well!!! As soon as we touched down, I knew that we would have had to overfly and make a second attempt, but the pilots tried instead to slow down, but it was too late. The umbrella overshot the runway and landed on the rocks by the shore of the Caribbean Sea.

The umbrella quickly filled up with gas fumes, but I was able to make a hasty exit, and was able to help others as well. So other than that quail's egg on my head, I am still alive and kicking, and grateful to God to be alive and kicking! Actually, I did a mini can-can routine this morning! However in the process, I stained my flying suit, and ripped my cape to shreds!!! Adn the umbrella! Well, let's just say we will have to be getting a new one, preferably one that is not nearly as cheeky and does not talk back.

I will have more to share later, but right now, I need a nap. So have a Jolly Christmas and a desperately FAB new year, and I look forward to seeing you back in T.O. when I get BACH!!!
