So this was the smoothest air travel I've ever experienced! (e:Uncutsaniflush) and (e:Leetee) dropped me off at the airport (thanks again), I walked right up to the counter and self-checked in, walked right through security, got on my plane. WOW.

I have to say, I've been to many airports, but Detroit has made some awesome changes. I was completely mesmerized by the connection corridor between concourse A and C. It must be 1/4 mile long. It was a tunnel, and the ceiling and walls were lighted panels of changing colours. The colours shifted and warbled along with this totally ambient music. It was like a cross between being underwater and riding Space Mountain. It was so spectacular I just wanted to sit down for a while and enjoy it. If I hadn't been in such a trance I would have taken a picture. I will try to remember on my return trip because my description is not doing it justice.

When I arrived we had to take my dad shopping. He's been here 2 days and they still couldn't find his luggage. Yeah, I love shopping the tall guys sections of Penny's for my dad's whitey tighties. Yay. He needed some sneakers too since all he had were his snow boots. As it turns out, they had these super cute pink stripe ADIDAS sneaks on sale for me, so I splurged.

We finally made it back to the house and I met my darling nephew. Oh Max is too friggin cute! I will post photos no doubt. Meanwhile, ya'll have a Happy Christmas or whatever you do or don't celebrate. Off to bake more cookies while everyone is passed out sleeping. I have some other surprising news but I have been forbidden to share it just yet. Hold onto your butts, it's a shocker! Ciao!

Many, many, many beers later........


sushi from wegmans, not bad!


delish


laughing so hard while playing pool, i almost pissed myself


so i had this brilliant idea to play with hot wheels in the basement, but i just sat in place as the wheels spun round


so we shoot some trashcan basketball


and then try sledding down the stairs on matresses


and again


then began the matress diving competition










after 30 minutes of this we were hot and sweaty


so we cooled off and opened the T & A Saloon


give us a break, we were drunk


then we started riding tricylces through the halls




carey ran into that wall


and shortly after taking this shot


i took a spill rounding a corner too fast - don't drink and drive kids!


presents!


and the night ends with a sleepy and sore good-bye

Now I'm off to shower, pack my backpack and fly down to Mississippi to meet my darling nephew! Latas kids, ciao!

Just a few photos of a little get together with my classmates (e:Frogedelic) and (e:Kangerooboi). P.S. I have such a crush on Thomas from 'Inked' (las vegas).


first the treats


then (e:kangerooboi)'s gifts


then (e:frogedelic)'s gifts


and then the thank-you's


and christmas lights to make things festive


which brings on a group hug


and a drunken food fight with red velvet cake


yah, tell me again why i chose to wear white pants.....


good-bye hugs


hugs good-bye


we look really young in this one

My ex-boyfriend's little brother just found me on myspace. He and I were great buds. I used to 'babysit' him a lot and we'd get pizza and play video games until 5am. When he got a little older we'd go surfing and get lunch. I taught him how to snowboard too. Anyhow, he posted this photo of us from when I visited California last Christmas. I thought it was so sweet and it made me smile ear to ear. Now that he finally turned 21 I can't wait to get back out to Cali so we can go dancing! Ciao.

I went to a theme party the other night titled 'Red or Dead'. I thought it was clever. You had to dress in red or dress as a person who is dead. I would have gone all out, as I love costumes, but I did not have much notice. I opted to bust out my handy medieval dress, renaissance boots, and a sword and go as Joan of Arc.

As I approached the food table I heard, 'Timika you have very beautiful cleavage'. In many instances, I would be so turned off by a comment like that. Yet, it was said with such sincerity that I was quite flattered. How often does a girl hear that from a guy that does not want to get in her pants? Anyhow, here are a few shots of the evening. Ciao.
