YIKES! It begins...

Okay. Things I want to do/not do this trip:

• I would like to NOT receive any type of traffic violation. At all. That would be TRAGIC.
• I would like to see Las Vegas
• I would like to NOT go broke or get married in Las Vegas
• I would like to complete 2 good books
• I would like to come back with a tan
• I would like to come back! At least right now I would. Check w/ me in a week.

Alrighty. I've heard that lists are a great starting place, so at least now I feel a bit more organized. Speaking of organized, it's definitely 8:04 am. My flight leaves Logan Airport at 4:10pm. I am taking the 1:30 pm water shuttle out of Quincy to the airport. I AM NOT PACKED. Not only am I not packed, but I have 3 stores I need to hit up and I need to meet my big sis to pick up my renegade bathing suit that seems to always be NOT where I need it to be (including when I'm wearing it. Not pretty.)

What is exciting is some random member of the Irwin/Scheller clan will be picking me up at the airport, and it appears that I'll be crashing some sort of birthday celebration for some old man - which means I'll get to see many people I wasn't expecting to see in my very brief stay in Pittsburgh. (about 20 hours.) YAY FOR OLD MAN!

However, between me and that exciting event stands a very daunting task. I am a creature of habit. I do very well when encountering things I know. I KNOW USAir. Love them or hate them, I know them. I know terminal B in Logan Airport, I know how to have everything ready to board, I know the seating order, etc. I do well when travelling USAir. I do NOT know Jet Blue. Yes. I know they have little TV's for every individual seat. I know they have leather seats that are comfy. But the only other thing I know is a news story stored in the back of my memory from a few Christmases ago when they stranded people on the tarmac in their planes for like 43 days or something ridiculous. I UNDERSTAND that it was a weather issue that should not be a consideration in the middle of August. That still does not make me slightly suspicious of Jet Blue and their 'trap travelers like prisoners and make them work on the tarmac repaving it in some kind of scary labor prision deal'. True story. Those people SLAVED to make that runway perfect before the almighty JetBlueians released them to the hostage negotiators. I read it on Drudge.

Anyway - guess I should consider packing or some other type of tomfoolery. What I'm positive of is that I will probably post at least one more time before leaving for the airport because the one thing I'm good at? PROCRASTINATING!

Must go wander aimlessly through laundry. Cheers!
