Ok, it’s not what you think.

I want to go here to see them on June 10th, 2006, and I know NO ONE I love around here will go with me for fear they will be made fun of.

Anyone wanna go with? Jason will certainly rather stick a pencil in his eye than accompany. Crystal, Heather, Erica and Carl all feel the same way.

Yummy!

You Are a Chocolate Martini

You’re an elegant drunk, who only likes the best bars and the most expensive drinks.
A bit of a cheapskate, you’re likely to mooch ten dollar drinks off both friends and strangers.

You should never: Drink and dash. You’re gonna get caught leaving someone with the tab!

Your ideal party: A posh celebrity party you crash, with an open bar.

Your drinking soulmates: those with a Classic Martini personality

Your drinking rivals: those with a Blueberry Martini personality

What Flavor Martini Are You?

That’s actually quite accurate, as it is my favorite martini.

Vegas!

You Are Las Vegas

Wild and uninhibited, you enjoy all of life’s vices.
You’re a total hedonist, especially with sex, gambling, and drinking.
You shine brightly every night, but you do the ultimate walk of shame each morning.

Famous Las Vegas residents: Wayne Newton, Howard Hughes, Penn & Teller, Siegfried & Roy

What American City Are You?

It’s funny, because Jase and I are going to Vegas this summer, for a weekend. HA!

Adventures in Aviation

This week I was lucky enough to be picked to do a site visit in Anchorage, Alaska. Yeah, you read that right. Pics to follow, when I’m actually home and can download them.

So I left Tuesday, and was supposed to be home last night. Well, right now, I’m sitting my pretty self down in the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport, and have been here ALL NIGHT LONG.

We took off at 10:00 am Anchorage time yesterday, (2 pm eastern). It was supposed to be a five and a half hour flight from Anchorage to Minneapolis. But then…..

Our plane ran out of gas. We didn’t have enough gas to make it to Minneapolis, so we had to detour to Deluth. There were serious thunderstorms in Minneapolis, so we ended up sitting on the runway for about three hours, but not before we ALMOST HIT A DEER WHEN LANDING THE PLANE. We were almost touching down, when landing in Deluth, and the pilots started banking up sharply. He comes over the PA telling us “Well, I don’t know about you all, but I don’t like venison this time of year”. So we circle for a minute, and then land.

So, then we finally make it into Minneapolis. Turns out the storms were so bad, the tower got hit by lightening twice. We ended up coming in about four hours late, so many people had either had their connections cancelled, their connections had taken off, or they were still delayed. I got rebooked on a Philly flight at seven am the next day (today). So, I camped myself out at the terminal, because the only open hotel at the last minute was about a forty five minute drive, and I would only have gotten about three hours sleep. I didn’t actually sleep too badly. My flight today leaves in about an hour and a half, so with some luck, I’ll be home before too long.

And, my favorite rolley-bag carry-on broke today….one of the wheels came off :-( I’m sad. It lasted me through three years of traveling, and it was a ten dollar purchase at Value City.

The good news, in all of this random aviation adventure goodness, is we just started our compressed workweek rotation at work (we work an extra hour a day Monday through Thursday, and then Friday we have a half day; this happens every other week). So, when I do make it home today, I’m off for the weekend. Yippee!

You know the country is going in the right direction when…
