Tired Girl

Hi....Well guess what I just finished typing this whole page and it disappeared...that makes me a bit pissy..ok so here we go again...

I guess the little blue button on the bottom that says "save now" I should hit periodically..

Ok so Ray and I are in California..we came down for a few days to just hang with the family, and Natasha my cousin is having an engagement party! So tonight we are having the party was supposed to be last night, but family from Canada on the grooms side evidently didn't think that their 6 month old baby needed a passport and they missed the plane...still don't know how that will work out...

Airport Woes! Well after getting dropped off at the airport, I decided to check in for the flight inside because at 8:15am in the morning in Vegas it is already 95 degrees and I am melting!!

So Ray and I go to the US Air ticket counter, and as I approach..I look at both lines...hmmmm..first class line 4 people...regular line 104 people...Yep were checking in at the first class counter..I can because I am a dividend miles silver preferred member...and what does that mean exactly?????? Shorter lines and board first..ok I will take it this time...

So I drag my 57 pound suitcase up to the counter, (which I don't think it is over 50 pounds..because if it is...50 Bucks!) Well I lug the b*tch on the scale and yep..57 pounds....Sh*t! Well she says as she smiles so politely..ok well it is 15$ to check your bag in...HUH? When did that start? That started July 1st. Ok I can handle the 15$ but I'm not happy about it...and no way am I paying 50$ more. So she looks at me sizing me up and down, and says just take out two pair of jeans...OHHHHH...yea two pair of my jeans weigh 7 pounds!! Are you friggin nuts? (apparently she had not had her morning starbucks!) Yea soaking wet jeans not put through the spin cycle, which by the way I didn't have in my suitcase..only dry jeans folded neatly..so I took out two pair of jeans...gave her a look, zipped up the suitcase, stood it up and low and behold..it took off 1 1/2 pounds! Not the 7 pounds that she thought. Yes, Ray is mortified at this point!

So I thought maybe it was the 7 pair of shoes I brought? So I put the suitcase down, opened it up and dug through it..and (while not even being aware of the line behind me) took out 5 pair of shoes! Zipped the suitcase up, stood it up and yea! Only 50.7 pounds...at this point I hoped she would let the .7 pounds slide because at this point I would be taking out a pair of panties...and I told her so! She said she would let the last .7 lbs slide! Whew!

So here we are carrying shoes and two pair of jeans...I had another bag with me that I had my laptop in..so not so bad..but we ran up stairs and bought an I Love Las Vegas bag..for 7.95 and shoved the jeans and shoes in there and went through the security check point....hmmmm...now which line..First Class line 4 people..regular line 104 people!

First Class..Dividend Miles holders as well so I didn't cheat! So through quickly, but what grosses me out is that you have to take your shoes off..and I am forever wearing strappy heels, so no socks...ugh! And I get all grossed out walking on the floor, and I tip toe through the metal detector, basically walking on my first two toes...and holding my breath...Ray has socks on and again is mortified! She is like "Mom not only do you look like a Barbie today, you are walking like one, and you're killin me!"

I don't care..there are thousands of germs on the floor...ugh..Oh then as we are leaving security..I left my mobile phone and my drivers license in the little bucket..and the TSA agent yells my name "STACY" and I jump out of my skin..cause I can't figure out for the life of me what I did, and I turn around and she has my ID and phone, which I would have figured out I didn't have it in like 3 more seconds, I was too busy trying to put on my shoes while balancing on two toes!

So..we run to the restroom because I had to wash my hands and wipe off my feet and then we go and wait to board the plane...

Plane ride was good...we got into California on time, Auntie picked us up...we went back to the manse an had chocolate chip pancakes! She makes the greatest Chocolate Chip pancakes. But so sweet, and I watch my sugar intake! (How boring!) Ray was soooo happy. We then went to the cliff house/beach house in Laguna, and just relaxed untill we went out to dinner at 8:30, and Ray the poor baby was car sick so we had to pull over 2 times to have her walk around before we got there!

But we got there and it was a great Mediterranean place called Open Sesame and had a nice dinner closed the place down... Grama went with us too...and Ray was pushing her all over the house in her wheel chair, and out on the sun decks too...and she wanted to pay her 5$ Rachele wouldn't take it..but then Grama was getting mad..so she took the 5$.

Anyway that was my day yesterday...slept not so good...was in a bit of pain, and Ray was all over the place!

I will write again tomorrow!

Love you all
