Happy Mom's day to all moms that may be looking me over! Seriously, I hope your day goes well. I lost my mom eight years ago but I still send her wishes. She helped make me into the person I am today.
To conclude yesterday's rant about the roommate situation - I get home yesterday from Arizona and found out he's still not been home going on two weeks now; so he's had no way to know what's going on. This is what happens when flights are overbooked. I myself came awfully close yesterday on the flight from Chicago - perhaps I could have ended up on A&E's "Airline", since I did take Southwest, after all. I was in no mood to spend overnight in Chicago. So I was greeted with one week's worth of mail - all for him. Leaves me no choice but to absolve him from the majority of my venom from yesterday. I'll just tell him (if I tell him about this blog) that I started it in June, not May :)
It seemed weird to come home yesterday with no phone, computer or cable television. There certainly wasn't much to do! I'll take care of the electric bill today (on my own, of course) so that I don't have to bring the candles out.
Above all, I'm thankful for a good trip out west and am looking forward to a couple days' relaxation before the grind of work hits again. Southwest did an outstanding job transporting me back & forth... upon landing yesterday in Detroit, the flight attendant broke out into the Beverly Hillbillies song, which had us all cracking up. That's what I remember from years past - the outstanding if not unusual customer service.
Darned I wish I had a digital camera - because Michigan has been socked with rain since the day I left, and are expecting rain every day this week coming. Arizona, meanwhile, had just .3 inches of rain this year and had a 100-day drought at one time. It says something when the cacti begin to shrivel due to lack of water!
I'll post more interesting things about me tomorrow; the last couple days, things had to come clean as you can see.
