Wow, I actually have most things caught up. What I do need to do, I can do tomorrow around getting my poor butched nails done. (I broke on taking my laptop out for security in Indy last Fri)
I still need to get some ringtones for my replacement phone and need to add the new music Harold got before I left to my itunes. I put my copy on the wrong hard drive and deleted it when I was done…..gggrrrr. So now I have to remember who it was that he got when I go into his hard drive.
Alright, I need to blog about my trip because I didn’t have time when I was traveling….lol
It was an extremely early morning for leaving on the 3rd…I was up just after 3am after only 3hrs of sleep.
I do have to note, if you have to deal with TSA, deal with the ones in Portland (PDX). As long as you calm and nice, they are the friendliest bunch and usually have a great sense of humor. San Fran they are jerks, most other airports have been hit and miss. But I always so glad to be home and, if I have to deal with security, be around PDX TSA agents, much better attitudes.
The flights were normal, not enough leg room. I had my connection in Denver….which was 60 gates away from where I landed. Luckly got there in enough time to chill for a few minutes. It wasn’t a bad airport from what I could see, it was my 1st time there. Then it was on to new Indy airport.
Wow, that was weird. I’ve been in and out the old Indy airport so many times that I can walk it with my eyes closed….lol  What I could see, it is a very nice airport….even had a starbucks…lol The only thing that I did not like was that they directed you to downstairs for your luggage, no big deal, but then they directed you back upstairs with your luggage, over the crosswalk (the street below was for taxises and shuttles only) and then back down to the rental car counters. That was just wasted time. When I could have just stayed at the ground level, dealt with the weather and crossed that street to the rental car office, which was connected to the garage.
I ended up with a chevy aveo ? Never even heard of them, but had my choice of color. I picked out the bright blue that perfectly matched my Payton Manning jersey that I was wearing….grin Some guy who was picking up a car commented “you really like your blue”……lol Then when I went to check out, I couldn’t find the buttons, so I was going to open my door and the lady made a movement with her arm to say “roll” your window down….DOH I haven’t been without power windows since ’97…..lol Didn’t even think to look for the hand crank. =)
I stay at my folks when visiting. My cousin Leslie Ann and her family and my uncle Paul were suppose to come down for a “holiday” dinner on that Saturday, but my uncle tore a knee muscle at work and my cousin’s husband just lost his job. =( I was so looking forward to seeing everyone together and I hadn’t seen my uncle in years. But I understand. I wasn’t able to see my uncle this trip, but when I drove up to Michigan to visit Sandi I stopped by and visited my cousin. =) More on that later.
So I spent a lot of my time just trying to help out in the areas that I could, computers and ipod shuffles (my nieces & nephew). And just visiting with everyone. Cheyanne had me helping her with her homework.  Dad said she was just enjoying the attention that I was giving her.
I got to see Cheyane in her music concert singing. She didn’t look like she wasn’t enjoying herself….lol I tried to take video, but she was dead center where the teacher was. =(
After rescheduling due to her concert, Melinda, the kids and I went to get portraits done for my folks. They are actually mainly for mom, dad likes pictures but for mom it is big deal to her. We were trying to get a 16×20 but they wanted way too much and it came framed. My mom has a frame, she wanted to replace the old picture of her, Melinda & me in with the new one. So we ordered a few sheets, got her a 10×13 and then I paid for the disc with the copyrights. =) Bingo….now she can get what she wants at a much more reasonable rate. Plus, I was able to put the copies all of their pcs and mine. So I can print out the pictures that I want. =)
I’m accessing my husband’s harddrive so I can get to my music I lost. I’ll continue this later. =)
