1. Telling my husband and my son goodbye when they dropped me off at the airport this morning was harder than I thought. My son cried and then I cried too.
2. Traffic in Chicago sucks!! If you're staying downtown fly into Midway not O'Hare. It took almost 1 1/2 hours to go 18 miles. According to the driver of the shuttle bus there is never traffic from Midway into downtown and it's 8 miles closer.
3. If you lose the back of an earring you can bite a chunk off a wine cork and use that. Thanks Jenn Steele for that awesome tip...you saved the night!!
4. I had a really good hair & make-up day. It felt good.
5. I don't look like my picture on my blog, at least that's what I was told, twice. Jen took pictures and as soon as she posts them I'm going to steal one of me and use if for my new picture.
7. Best NSV of all - I don't need a seat belt extension on the plane anymore. Really! When I got on the plane I asked the stewardess for an extension and she said. "You don't need one." I said "Yes I do I'm flying to Chicago." Like it didn't even hit me what she was really saying. She said "No, really, I'm sure you won't need one." And when I sat down in my seat I was thinking how stupid we were both going to look when I had to back and tell her she was wrong. But you know what? She wasn't. The regular seat belt fit me...barely...but it fit. And I cried because I was so happy.
8. I am having the best time! It's all so much better than I ever imagined!!
I love all of them but especially number 7, well done Amey!
ReplyDeleteAmey I have to tell you that I was just showing my 5 yr old some group pictures from Chicago... and he thought you were me! I told him you were my friend, and that you lived (kind of) near his brother (my oldest). Hope you made it back ok, I was so happy to have you next to me on the way home (even if I was asleep!). Love you so much girl, you are such a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time roomie!!! I can't wait til next year... I need to start a BOOBS money jar. *Maria*
ReplyDeleteMeeting you was awesome! You are so cute in person.
ReplyDeleteI love your NSV's especially the plane seatbelt!
That NSV is the BEST ever! For a while now I've fearfully been on the very verge of having to ask for that extension... & for Chicago, I knew that although I might not have MUCH extra, I definitely WOULDN'T need that extension this time! What a great feeling. Good for you, girl. We're on our way! :)

Congrats on your NSV about the seat belt! What a great victory that was! Thanks so much for your kind words about bandster hell on my blog in September (yes, I'm just now getting around to answering my comments). Your encouragement and support means a lot to me!
