I was at the airport last night waiting for them to open up the gate so that we could board...

there were a number of passengers that were standing around the entrace to the line to the gate shifting their gaze occaisionally as to not make eye contact with any other passenger.

I guess it was enough that everyone was [essentially] invading everyone elses personal space, so to decrease the uneasiness of the situation, the gaze shifting is the cousin to the staring at the eleveator numbers...

if eye contact is ever made, the polite half-lip smile and nod [sometimes with an accompanying half-tip-toe lift] is executed and the offending eye contact is immediately broken...

... ... ...

it's getting to the point where I can recognize the pilots voices for the flight, the attendants at the gate, as well as a few of the flight attendants...

of course I try to erase that from my memory as to diminish the patheticity* of my situation...

if I don't, I'd probably cry myself to sleep at night...

... ... ...

of course, it's not as bad as I make it sound - mostly I'm just trying to garner sympathy, but honestly if it were I problem, I would definitely not be the type of person to let sleeping rabid dogs lie...

lorie comes home today.

I'm so excited to see her... :-)

on Thursday... :-(

it will be the first Thursday in a long time that we get to spend together without poker getting in the way...

kimmie is picking me up, but is most likely going to go to anna and eric's to babysit isaiah...

of course, depending on whether we have dinner with them on thursday remains to be seen... that will be nice, because it's been the only time I've been able to see my mom lately...

[sigh]

boring tanget - my apologies...

Bonus: I get to wear the beads that she brought back from New Orleans...

[she can tell you the story about how she got them - it's not nearly as scandalous as you might think]
