In three days I will be in the air on my first plane trip ever. I know I keep blatherin on about it, but the excitement is unbeleiveable.
what IS unfortunate, however, is the lack of free time i am about to have between now and then. Today I am working till 830 in lockport. and I have agreed to be in springville at 730 to do the monthly inventory. Why? because I feel as though if I agree to tackle the unpleasant administrative tasks I will be looked upon as a leader in the company and thus aquire a)better job security and b) OVERTIME!
Tomorrow night is all about packing. Laundry. Packing. preparation. Because i work all day on thurs and as SOON as we get home we have to hit Sheas. Which I have never been to. Where do I park? how early before a show should I be there?
Come home and try to sleep? because we have to be at the airport at 430 am. Where do i park? ahhh its all new to me. Trepidation! trepidation! And how much is airport parking? booooooo expensivo!

days off in hellYesterday was shopping for Florida day. Let me inform you that shopping for a swimsuit is probably the most horrifying adventure that a chick with an extra pound (or two) could experience. First of all, everywhere I went the bathing suits were either:
A) 2 piece
B) Adorned with rhinestones
C) adorned with gaudy flowers
D) Ludicrously expensive
E) GOLD. Yes GOLD.
It was not the most pleasant experience. I haven't been in a bathing suit in over ten years. I feel quite exposed. I felt on several occasions that a wetsuit covered with a mumu would probably be the sexier option.
More importantly... yet another battle at buffalo tonight, if anyone here is interested! BUFFALO BREAKDANCING! WOOOO!

now doha would be the PERFECT place for you to shop for a swimsuit if you don't like bikinis! Seriously, there are suits on the racks that look like they jumped right out of a 1920's mag.

dirty smutCategory: good reads
I've been listening to a book on tape - a really random gross one that I didn't realize was more of a romantical book than a historical fiction - which is more my interest. So of course today on my way home from work I was subjected to about 15 to 20 minutes of a sex scene that uses delightful words such as "member" and "maidenhood".
Oh and incidentally, part of the reason the sex scene was so long was because they had to keep pausing to wonder aloud if the ghost of his grandfather was watching. Or to describe, in detail, the number of petticoats the young gent had to fight his way through to do his husbandly duty and officially make her his wife. BLAH!
Point of the story? I was pulling into the city when I realized my face hurt from the awful jaw dropping expression that was apparently plastered all over my face during the entire drive.
Apparently listening to heterosexual romance sex scenes set in medieval england during my long drive just doesn't do it for me.
but on a brighter note - three years ago today lauren and i made out for like 3 hours at the bar. happy anniversary love!

You came to the Zoo and didn't call ahead. Sheeet, I would have come down to say hello. One of the tag lines on some old advertising here says "Get your tail to the Zoo." So the animal asses are never far from the mindset here.
Next time you come, shoot me a note and behold the loveliness that is my employee discount.

I'm at work.... and its slow. Watching a kid across the street trying to bust his face open by riding his bike up a makeshift ramp. I'm afraid to look away in case he succeeds.
otherwise, the day is slow. dull. boring.
yesterday I enjoyed the 420 holiday by taking care of (e:lauren)'s hungover butt. We watched movies (i am normally too antsy for movies) which included Liar Liar and Pirates of the Caribbean. It was kinda as if the cable company knew that everybody would be stoned and ready to zone out to stupid movies all night.
today was my day to go back on my diet. i cheated soooo much in the past few days. so far so good.
i need to make up a list of all the things that I need to do before the trip, so i don't have to think about it.

That kid in that Liar movie was pretty good. I know this because I can still remember his face.
That kid in that Liar movie was pretty good. I know this because I can still remember his face.
But then I never flew till I came here at 25. That was a long gap and things had changed so much by then. The flights were packed, and I didn't really get that much candy. I think I got more cheese and yoghurt than candy. It was Air-France. What else could you expect?
I think I flew first when I was 9 years old. My grandpa had died and my mum was crying all the way. Her eyes were so swollen she couldn't see us anymore, I think. The plane was half-empty and my brother and I ran up and down the plane till the stewardess got pissed and did everything but tie us to our seats. She wasn't very successful in controlling us and hit upon the classic tactic of cookie-toffee-bribes. By the end of the 3 hour flight my bro and I had a fabulous booty to split. I thick the inventory ran thus: 7 cookies, 12 chocolate bars, 5 hard-toffees and one bag of chips each. We never told mom or things might have turned confiscation/scolding-ugly heheheh. Ah. Good times. :)
cabs to the airport are about $25 each way. From my house, for one person, at least... Parking at the airport is $10/day in "long term preferred" (no shuttle required) or like $8/day in the "long term" lot, that is a shuttle-ride away from the terminal. So I always figure it depends on how long I'm going for. If it's more than 5 days, a cab is cheaper. Or, if you can get a ride on the way back, take a cab for the early morning?
Either way, have a great trip. Flying is no big deal. :)
thanks for the info guys! and (e:drew) - thanks for the offer, we have gotten several and I just cant bring myself to allow anybody to get up that early!
this plane trip will somehow be amazing. even if (e:lauren) dreads the flight.
My first plane trip sucked. I was 18 and we were flying to South Carolina. Somehow I got pressure behind my eye and I thought it was going to pop out of my head. I remember holding it in, hoping I didn't lose it before we landed. Never happened after that - so it must have just been a freak thing.
You can park at the Market Arcade parking lot for two bucks and just cut through the movie theater to get to Sheas
If you don't want to park at the airport, I think I can do a drop off and/or pick-up.
Enjoy your trip.
Parking at Sheas is right where you parked to go to Marchella's. Parking at the airport is clearly labeled and is about $8 a day I believe.
