Back home again in Indiana

What a weekend it was for me. I flew home to Indiana on Thursday after working all day in Denver. I do not recommend messing with a girl who is trying to catch her flight home after a long day at the office. I had picked up some horse radish for Guy that was atomic strength. It was in a sealed, glass bottle. I was not checking a bag due to time limitations and figured horse radish, being a chopped up root and all, would not be an issue for airport security. WRONG! They not only searched my bag (and there was no woman on duty- do not get me started), but they also took my horse radish. GRR! They called it a, “matter of national security.” Yep. That’s what our country has come to: horse radish is a treat. Great.

I made my flight. I was angry, but I made my flight. It was an uneventful flight and that is fine with me as that is how I like them. I mean an eventful flight would include dreadful things and I am willing to skip that action. I did sit next to a guy who was studying accounting. I made the mistake of telling him that I am studying to be a tax accountant. He wanted all kind of tips. I shut him down as I do not work for free. ;) I didn’t really, but that would have made a better story.

Indy’s new airport is so nice. I miss the old one though because it was familiar and homey. This one is very new and sterile. It is functional though. I rented a car because I over-committed myself this weekend (I’m thinking of giving up over-committing for lent?!) and I didn’t want to steal Susie’s car that often. Had this have been a summer time trip I probably would not be saying that as I love convertible time. Moving on. I rented a car and the lady tried to tell me that she could not rent to a 16 year old. Me?! I worked all day, I was wearing glasses and I had on a sweater vest for pete’s sake! Work with me lady. I actually graciously thanked her for thinking I was young. I have not been 16 for a good 8 years. Ha! Anyway, that was the real excitement of the evening because from there I headed to Susie’s to pass out. I was exhausted.

Friday morning I slept in a bit as the time difference is a real killer. I went to my old office and played catch up with Bill for like an hour! I had forgotten how easy it is to talk to him. It is so funny how close we are when he is in his mid-60’s and I am in my mid-20’s. I guess he is not different than Susie and she and I get along famously. I call them young souls. Or maybe I’m an old soul? No. They’re young. I met my mom at McAlister’s deli for lunch that day. Yum. It was nice to catch up with her. Some people never change though. She was whipping out her iPhone during lunch and rambling about work stuff that made no sense. Ah, you cannot expect full attention of people I guess. Darn technology addicts. (I write that as I blog from 35,000 feet. Whatever.) I picked up Shannon that evening and we headed to Muncie’s Hacienda to meet my parents for dinner. Ah, God bless excellent Mexican food. Honestly. The place is awesome. And it was free (Guy paid) so that makes things taste much better in my book. (I am not ashamed of being cheap.) We had a great time catching up and laughing. We closed down our section.

I'm being told that we're landing soon so I will finish this later. Have a GREAT week!
