Scamper Away!
Do you ever wish you were a footloose, fancy free, scampering kind of person?
Ever wanna excuse yourself from a really boring meeting, climb out the bathroom window, and run giggling across the parking lot? I used to have a co-worker who would lean across and whisper in my ear, "Let's just get in a car and start driving."
Escapist? Well, yeah.

HAHA at the quote! YES! I have had that VERY same fantasy of just getting in the car and driving... I had it long before I saw Thelma & Louise. When I have had this wish, it's when people are frustrating me. And I felt like when I got in the car and drove, I'd just be a fugitive on the run, never EVER stopping somewhere for too long... cos then peeps would get to know me and start FRUSTRATING ME all over again. Too big a chicken for suicide, because I love my family too much for that... not that leaving and never returning might not end up equally as damaging!
Oh I know that one wanted to do that all day yesterday. Judi

ME ME ME!
Sorry I can't remember the reference but there was a rather popular book a few years back that included the suggestions that all business meetings should be held in a room without chair so that, because people had to stand, the meeting would be run with total efficiency. Cheers
I ran away once. It was boring because I just drove down the highway and then turned around and drove back home. Next time I run away, I'm going to plan ahead and run away to a spa. Yeah....that's where I'm headed.
I do wish I were a scamper kind of person. I want to be a scampering cocoa goddess. Yes....that's the ticket.
Love the quote!
I always feel that way in meetings.
