Up, Up and Away...

Oh joy! My Christmas break is here at last! Yesterday was a busy day at work. You know how it goes, it's perfectly quiet the few days prior to leaving and then the day you have to leave and put on your out of office reply, all hell breaks loose. It is like a Christmas tradition in itself. Plus I needed to leave exactly at 5pm to be on time for school and that always presents its challenges. Of course the phone rings at 4:59...thank heavens its someone simply wishing me happy holidays.
Shortly I am leaving for the airport for my flight to Seattle. Luckily, the weather is bright and sunny, no snow which is fantastic. I am going to practice my new state of inner peace while trying not to get frustrated, annoyed or pissed off while going through the motions of getting to my gate on time. Recently I have become a bit of a nervous flyer. And I am only more nervous when I dont have Dan to talk sense into me when the plane makes a strange noise or I imagine that the flight attendants are talking about something unpleasant, like a passenger makes them nervous or the bathrooms are about to explode. (I swear that's what they were whispering about) To help find inner peace, I'll find an airport lounge that can serve me up a glass of wine. JFK Airport has a Bobby Van's Steakhouse now, how nice is that? Please if that bucket of bolts airplane isnt going to make it into the friendly skies for any reason, Kendall Jackson and I are in it together. Tonight my family will get together at my sister Stephanie's house, which I can't wait for. Just thinking about how nice that will be ought to calm my nerves. I also purposely wore my red sweater, just a nice reminder that it is Christmas time and to keep the spirit bright. If you are traveling in any form, good luck and God speed. I'll let you know how I do when I reach the other coast!
