weirdness

Had a dream this morning...it was weird.

I was with a few friends, and we'd gone to this cavern (dark, dreary, damp, and (obviously) undergroud) to pick up her husband. He was training to be a speed runner (like a skater, but no skates). We watched the last few laps as they sped around the "rink"...running as fast as they could. He skipped off a minute before the other three guys, and was standing next to his wife talking to her, when all of a sudden the other three guys' phones started ringing.

We all looked up, noticed it was 12pm, and looked at the three other guys at the same moment they looked at us. It clicked with us at the same moment they realized the ringing cell phones at 12pm gave them away - they were the noon-time killers. In that split second, we realized their call was to alert them of their next victim's time....and they rushed my friends husband and all used their hands to choke him against the stone wall.

And then I woke up.

i think i like this no title thing. you want me to put all of my random thoughts under one heading? forget it! i refuse. :o)

for those that are counting with me, it's 31 days today until the BIG DAY. :o)

looking for good song to dance to...any recos?

1. as i got ready this morning in my hotel, I wondered why there aren't any hotels that provide nice hair dryers, and normal size hair products (hairspray) for my use. Even the super nice hotels have the super crappy hair dryers. i mean seriously! there are enough of us "carry-on only" people who aren't carting our hair dryers and hairspray around. make us feel welcome and put some of it in our room. I won't steal it....and if you're that concerned, do a room check before people check out!! or make them get it from the front desk! seriously people.

2. now that gas is a bazillion dollars per gallon, there are more people bicycling to work. Which I think is great. however, these people feel like they can act like cars (which is legally what they're supposed to do) until they hit a red light/stop sign/inconvenient traffic signal, at which point they decide to act like a pedestrian. PEOPLE!! this is how accidents happen. AND tickets!! I'm going to call my city counsel and see if we can't mandate that all bikes must be licensed. this way i can call the cops on the bikes that run red lights. If jim had to register his canoe (!!)...then why the heck aren't bikes required to be registered. seriously.

3. 110 degrees is hot.

4. even if i eat a mini bag of chips, fruit, licorice, and drink a full bottle of water after a full lunch....tasting 12 different wines still is too much for me. yes, i am a lightweight.

5. i'm flying home tomorrow and so excited. except for the four hours on the plane. I do not have enough to do (or enough laptop battery, aurgh)

that is all for now. i'm going to bed, even though it's way early here.
love.

update?

at the msp, hanging out, waiting for my plane.

this is a busy one - i happened to check-in early at the office, noticed i didn't have an assigned seat. i fear that means the flight is full. the packed waiting area pretty much confirms. woooo.

as i was going through the secret security check-in, a flight attendant butted into line (they're allowed to, i guess becuase it's their job or something)....and then proceeded to answer her phone and make everyone pick up their plastic buckets and bags on the conveyor belt and go around her through the check-point. I did a lot of rolling of the eyes and she said, "some things just can't be helped!" To which I didn't have time to respond that as a flight attendant she should know how these checkpoints work...and it would be more considerate to take her two things off the conveyor than to have all of us pick up our many items (i had 4 - laptop out of the bag, laptop bag, suitcase, tub with shoes) and move them around her. How inconsiderate! I just couldn't believe it. (just saw all of our pilots/attendants board....she's not in the bunch...whew)

(in other news, i wonder if people read this over my shoulder when i type at the airport.)
almost time to board, later gators!

ps - the cnn is talking about the tomato recall....and how it might not've been tomatoes. shocking...let's go back to the totino's pizza recall and how they never found anything there either. maybe jim is right that we just need to figure out how to overcome the issue instead of just react to it. hmmmm.

the list so far...right?
.fresh tomatoes
.spinach
.lettuce
