No Holla from Detroit

I'm still trying to get back to Minneapolis!!! Holy cats...this flight home has been a pain! First I was running late which is my own fault since I decided to drive to the Rock & Roll hall of fame before leaving Cleaveland.

A 25 minute wait at the rental car drop off, I get to the airport to discover the national security threat level has been boosted which meant they were limiting what I could carry on to the airplane. I hate checking my bags so I just threw the junk out which included a coffee mug that I just purchased from Niagara Falls the day before - bummer dude.

So, I'm sitting at an on-line cafe because I was suppose to have my Money, Banking, and Financial Markets test taken before 11:45 tonight and I was intending to take it when I arrived at my aunt and uncles home in Minneapolis, but obviously that's not happening so I guess I'm taking it at the airport. I was so excited to see Alex tonight...I started crying when I told him I wouldn't see him until Tuesday morning :(

And...I hate the Detroit airport. I've flown in this airport a few times and it smells funny, it's difficult to navigate, Detroit lost my cousin's luggage on the way to Cleveland and we had to wait 5 hours for it to arrive, and the guy sitting in front of me in the cafe keeps burping really loud. I'm 10 minutes away from throwing something at him. Seriously....what's that all about?

Detroit gets no Holla from me - that's for sure~

Holla from Milwaukee

Per amber's advice, I am updating my blog midtravrl from my blackberry. I am currenty in Milwaukee drinking my coffee before I go through security. There are no liquids allowed past the gates because my skinny latte evidently post a serious threat to security.Don't get me wrong, I am very greatful to do what I need to do for security, even if that means finishing my coffee before going through security.
Alex and I had a good drive to Minneapolis last night. Minneapolis is about a four hour drive from where we live now and I use to drive that every weekend. I was clearly out of my mind.
So yesterday I was checking out blogs and I wandered over to my friend Tracy's blog. A four letter word slipped out of my mouth when I saw Dawson in football. Alex was signed up but with me currently in school and Alex participating in, baseball, bible school, and golf, I forgot all about football camp!!
! We are staying in Minneapolis Monday and Tuesday as well so there was no point to take him to camp for one day. Way to drop the ball on that one Tracy!!!
Oh the picture above is of me and my cousin's daughter having mammosa at the Minneapolis airport. We ordered one and the waitress asked if it was 8:00 yet. Hello... It's 5:00 somewhere now give momma here booze! I am on vacation!!!

Weekend Fun!!!

I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it!!! I had my last presentation for my information systems class last night and this weekend, I am flying to Pennsylvania for my cousin's wedding! The bride and groom actually live in Minneapolis, but they are getting married in PA so the Anderson clan is road tripping! I haven't been able to get together with my family for awhile so I am jazzed! When my cousins and I get together, it's non stop laughs!!

So have a great weekend and I'll have lots of pictures and stories to share when I arrive home on Wednesday!

The Apple Doesn't Fall Too Far From The Tree

I was able to talk to Alex for a few minutes before work this morning and realized that he is defiantly his mother's son! The apple doesn't fall too far from this tree (thanks Kerrie - I stole the line from your last post) He is camping in Michigan with his father this week and Heidi - his father intentionally choose a spot where there is no electrical hookups.

Mom - How is the camping trip?

Alex - I'm bored, there is no TV.

Mom - The point of this trip isn't for you to watch TV, it's for you to spend some quality time with your father.

Alex - I know, (sigh) I just wish we could have stayed in a hotel

Yes, that is my boy! On an additional note, thank you all for your kind words regarding the death of my friend. It was difficult seeing him as he had put on so much weight being confined to a wheel chair. Of course my faith gives me comfort because I know that he is in our father's hands. Thank you for you thoughts and prayers!

Night Out On The Town

It's going to take awhile for my brother Josh to want to hang out with his two older sister after Friday evening. Jessica, Joshua, and myself have never ventured out on the town before so we decided to meet up for a cocktail over the weekend. We watched the Twins game and hung out with each other most of the night on Friday. At one time Josh got up and walked to the washroom when some guy came over to my sister and I and asked if that guy was bothering us. We looked at him with a puzzled look and he said "everyone in the bar is talking about that guy following you two around like a creeper"

After we stopped laughing, we explained to him that "the creeper" was our brother. Josh was SO embarrassed and told us to stay at the other end of the bar for the rest of the night. He was certain that his chances of meeting any single girls were slim to none after that.

Schools In

I decided to take six credits again this summer and I really debated on it because Alex has baseball Monday and Thursday nights (not to mention an array of other activities this summer like VBS, golf, football, etc) and my Money and Banking class is online, but Information Systems is in SF which is about 50 miles away two nights a week....Monday and Wednesdays thus, I will miss four of Alex's baseball games. Luckily, my sister is stepping in for me and helping me on Monday evenings get Alex to and from baseball....but I will miss seeing him play those games :( After 5 weeks though, it will all be over.

I need some tips - has anyone ever had to get cat urine out of carpets? My father's cat has kicked the bucket (believe me...nobody is upset over this deal) and I shampooed the carpet, but there still is an odor. Can anyone help me on this deal?

Big Oops

WARNING - this clip has the f*bomb in it but it cracked me up! This news anchor in NY thought they were taping the teaser, but they were actually going live and this went out on the airways. You hear her going from "professional news anchor" to giving her co anchor the business. I love her
