Travel Day!

Well, today was a travel day for me. . .but not the kind that I’m use to. The morning started pretty early. . .4:30 am! Yeah, my flight was at 7:20, so I had to get up that early in order to make it to the airport in time. After finally getting ready, I took off to go to the airport, but then realized that I didn’t remember how to get there. So, I ended up traveling around Miami for a bit till I finally saw one of those familiar blue signs with the white airplane on it, you know the one I’m talking about. So I get to the airport and everything is fine. Check in was a breeze. . .the security line was short. . .there was a Cinnabon at the gate. . .it couldn’t have been better! Well, I was going to try to make it sound like something went wrong, but it didn’t. Everything went great. In fact, I’m in Salt Lake City right now, and it is gorgeous outside! I haven’t been outside, but it looks nice! Makes me want to live here a little. . .well, no, because I’ve been here during the winter and it is COLD! Yeah, I don’t do well with cold. . .never have, never will!

Then you're gonna take a left at the 5th to the last light. . .

What a week! I would just like to go ahead an apologize to everyone that I didn't get to see. . .but a week just isn't enough time! UGH! Especially when you have to work during that week! Well, I'll be back at sometime. . .I always am.
So, today I had to drive to Miami, which seems like a simple thing. . . but simple things can be deceiving! I started my "fun" journey by printing directions from MapQuest. Ok, I don't know what has happened to MapQuest, but their directions here lately are HORRIBLE! And if they're the right directions, they're vague enough that you get lost anyway! Well, the directions said that the Florida Turnpike turns in I-95. . . well, that never happens. If you follow the turnpike to the end. . .you end up in the Keys! Which is where I ended up, but luckily I was paying attention to the signs, and didn't actually get to THE keys, just right before it. So, I ended up turning around and following my instincts and found the hotel. Thank goodness for my GREAT sense of direction! Have you ever got lost from directions from MapQuest?

I'm going to Disney World!

I have had a great time this past week being back in Orlando! I went to Pleasure Island on Thursday night, and had a blast! I did end up having to take a friend home because he got a little wasted! That's ok, because he's done it for me a MILLION times!

Yesterday, I went to Epcot with Dawn and Adam and had an AMAZING time! We went on Journey to Imagination, presented by Kodak, and I saw one of my bestest friends at the exit! Her name is Heather, and she is CRAZY. . . and I love her to death! It has been a while since I've seen her, but it's as if time hadn't even passed! Wow, I do miss her lots! Well, She was in a show featuring the Kodak easy-dock cameras, and she was amazing! She is Professor Allbright. . .and she demonstrates how easy it is to use the Kodak easy-dock. Yeah, I love her to death!
Well, after Adam and I spent and hour and a half in line for "Soarin" (even though the sign said it was only an hour) we ran to Mexico to watch Illuminations. Dawn had arranged some special seating for us. . .I just figured that she found a good spot. But NO! We sat on one of the docks in the water! OH MY GOD! It was awesome! The fireworks were right in our face! It was CRAZY! We could feel the heat! Anyway, it was such a good ending to the night, and I had such a wonderful time! I just want to give a shout out to Kelly for getting us in . . .THANKS KELLY!

Goodtimes. . .Anytime you need a favor!

I don't know how many of you out there have watched "Goodtimes", but that is one of the shows that I remember from my younger years. I know that sounds odd, but I enjoyed it. Anyway, so i've been calling people left and right while I've been here, and so many haven't called me back, or they call too late and such. . . .and that sucks! I want to see everyone while I"m here, but it's just so hard to get in contact with people. Granted, sometimes it is hard to get in contact with me. . .yeah. . . I should work on that. Anyway, to all those peeps out there in orlando. . .CALL ME!

ORLANDO!

I am so glad to be in Orlando. It's funny, but when I drove into town, I felt like I was home. Granted, I haven't lived here since 2002, but so much of my "life" happened here. Lots of first here for me kids. Good times. . . good times. I mean, technically, Mississippi is my home. I've spent the majority of my life there, but I would rather claim somewhere else as home. I mean, Mississippi has so many images associated with it, and I'm not really part of those. People usually only think of negative things but there are lots of positives ones. . .I just can't think of any right now. I'M IN ORLANDO! YEAH! Sorry, it's just a great thing. There are other cities that make me feel at home, but it just might be that I want to live there. Are there places that aren't technically your home, but they make you feel like your home?:
