Airports & Flying

So there are people who travel WAY more than me but I still travel quite a bit. In 2007 I did a 4+ month stint going back and forth from Boston to San Francisco every week. I had to sit in the middle seat on red-eye flights for 6 hours. I also once missed a connection in Chicago and somewhere in those airports got the flu. I had to fly into Providence and take a 2 hour car service back home for $400 almost throwing up the entire time. I've also almost missed international flights for spending too much time in the bar and had to run almost 100 gates in Heathrow Airport.

I also had to sleep in the Dallas Airport after missing our connection back to Boston from LA because of the 2004 fires and the delays in LA because of the raging fires and winds.

Recently I had to sit next to a man who was falling asleep on me and yesterday I sat next to a lady that smelled like moth balls.

I've lost luggage. I've even forgot what my luggage looked like and thought that I lost my luggage. As a kid I flew by myself at the age of 12 down to visit my relatives in Florida. I fell asleep on the plane and woke up thinking everyone was killed (aka asleep) and went screaming up and down the aisle.

You'd think I would hate traveling. You just have to take the good with the bad. Bring a good book and your charged up iPod and you are good to go.

Hey - at least I'm not this guy.

My Furry Baby

Billie Jean is now a little over a year old. She's still insane. She still eats my stuff. She's still plopping on the ground and flipping over for belly rubs from complete strangers. She's still my little furry baby! Here are some good pics from this past winter and one from more recently.

Billie loves playing in the snow!


Stuck in the snow! We had a couple feet of snow and considering she's only a foot tall (maybe shorter than that) she had some trouble getting around. It was too damn cute!!


Attempting to free herself from the snow! Probably running to attack me too.

whoa... I can cook!

Last night for Mothers Day I made a special dinner for my family. I looked it up on AllRecipes.com and scaled it to serve 7 people. I made a yummy seafood risotto and added in asparagus, tomatoes and shrimp to the original recipe with clams and clam juice. It was GREAT! I cook often but its rare for me to create a dinner for 7 people with a new recipe that I've never done. Also risotto is not exactly an easy process with the stirring for 40 minutes and everything! I also made shrimp cocktail in martini glasses for an appetizer.

A couple of weeks ago I made my own pasta sauce and turkey meatballs with whole wheat pasta. Yum!

I need to get back onto the CORE weight watchers plan so no more cupcakes and carrot cake and cookies and all that bad stuff I ate this past week!

Bring on the recipes! Time to lose some weight but eat well!

OMG they have ARRIVED!

So back in April I created some awesome shoes at the Puma Mongolian BBQ. Today I got the notice that they have arrived!

I am SURE they are hideous but I dont care. I cant wait to wear those green and gold shoes with the FUURRRR tomorrow night at the Celtics game! Go Green!

WHERE IS BIBBY?? WHERE IS BIBBY??

Just got back from Game 7. I was hoping to kick their sorry asses by 45 points. It was on 34 points but it sure felt good!

Some of my favorite chants of the night were...

WHERE IS BIBBY? WHERE IS BIBBY? WHERE IS BIBBY? WHERE IS BIBBY? WHERE IS BIBBY?

At the end there was a good...

Shanana Shanana Hey Hey Hey Good bye! Shanana Shanana Hey Hey Hey Good bye! Shanana Shanana Hey Hey Hey Good bye! Shanana Shanana Hey Hey Hey Good bye!

Go Celtics! Bring on Cleveland!
