My trip, part 1
Ok, first I want to apologize for repeating the same info over and over about my puppy. I was just a bit worried/concerned about her and it's been in the front of my mind lately...Now, onto the whole trip and so forth as best as I can remember it now...
Friday night I got stuck at work late (I know, you're shocked) and by the time I got to the general home area I just didn't feel like going to yoga. I wanted to hang out with Cammi and my parents and so when I got there, planning to change into yoga clothes and make myself go to class, and my Mom already had a bottle of wine open I couldn't resist. I hung out there while they ate, totally blowing off class and getting a little tipsy (Mom and I finished a bottle together, and I wasn't eating).
Then I was still feeling ok and capable of driving, and I had plans to hang out with some friends I hadn't seen in what felt like forever (they live not even 5 minutes away, there is no excuse that I don't see them more) so I dropped Cammi home & went on over. We went out for Indian and it was fantastic! I've been out for Indian food 3 times now, twice with them. And since they are vegetarian and Indian food is so much fun to share, I get a veggie dish as well and it's fantastic! I am also mildly obsessed with the garlic nan (is that really what it's called and how you spell it?).
After dinner we went back to my place for some more wine! It was fun sitting and catching up - I am so glad they moved so close! They left probably around 12 or 1 (which is way earlier than usual) but, of course I hadn't packed yet. Oops.
So I got up around, I don't know 4 maybe and did the packing thing. I had no idea what it was going to be like down there and what I would or would not have the opportunity to do, so of course I packed WAY too much. And, before I left I had to make 2 or 3 cuts to what I wanted to bring...
I had printed the special coupon and directions to the place I was going to be parking my car (it was only $7/day and they pick you up & drop you off right at your car!). I left around 6, took Cam over to Mom's and was off. I didn't get lost which is really exciting when you realize that I am very, very good at getting lost. There was no problem with check in and so I proceeded to the security line. There was a problem there.
It wasn't me, my clothes, or my shoes. Apparently there was something in my purse that upset them so I was pulled to the side for a full scan. Again, my body and everything was fine. The ran the explosive check on my shoes and the inside of my 2 bags (one "carry on" and one very large "purse"). My real purse was inside the faux one and she pulled it out and dumped the contents on the counter. Sucks becuse I dind't have a chance to clean it out. So there are all my random recipts, my 2 chap sticks, gum, various credit cards, directions, itinerary, tampons and other things that seem to live there. Plus the screws that I still haven't returned to Home Depot and 2 closet pulls. Duh. Totally forgot to take those out of there! Apparently that was what they were concerned with, so she sent them through the x-ray again, all by themselves. Soon enough I was on my way to the gate and breakfast.
Ok, so I've decided to do this in installments. My reasoning is simple, I don't feel like sticking to the same topic for this long, and I KNOW you will not make it through if I try and put it all in one entry... So until we meet again...
(Spell check is taking entirely too long so I'm going to post as-is, let me know if there's something you can't translate... ;)
