While I have not sufficient sleep to truly be caught up, I am feeling pretty good this morning. I did have a full 24 hours, that's for sure. I left the hotel at 1am CDT and it was pouring rain. I had only one friend who I had her check on me every 20 minutes or so to make sure I was doing okay. It was a 2 hour drive back to the airport in a lightning storm, on a one lane road, with no street lights most of the way. It was a pretty scary drive. I did drive cautiously and she did keep checking on me. Made it to the airport right around 3. By the time I got up to the security line it was about 3:20. Security there opens at 3:30. Funny thing I noticed yesterday was while the airport was definitely not 'dead', it was more regular flyers than my normal business flyers. I was the only one standing in the priority lane for security, the only one who was in the priority line for boarding from MN to Chicago. I had a good seat on that flight. Didn't sleep unfortunately.
Got to Chicago around 7 and did a little shopping for SG. Brought her back some drinking chocolate from Vosges. The kid still has some in the freezer from my last trip so I didn't see any need to get her anything. The chocolate isn't that much and it makes a nice gift. Hung out in the lounge for about an hour or so before heading to the gate. Same thing as in MN - lots of people, but mostly families versus priority. I was again the only one who got to board when priority access was called. I had the large exit aisle seat and I could tell what kind of people were on the plane when the couple next to me finally boarded and the guy was all confused about where the tray table was. I gently said 'it's in the arm' and he was like a caveman with fire. "LOOK DEAR! It's in the arm! Well how about that!". I am not exaggerating. It was kind of cute. Uneventful flight. Landed at home around 11:20, almost 15 minutes ahead of schedule.
My friend picked me up a little after noon and I was home by 12:30. The kid and I caught up on everything and just hung out. I ripped some movies, unpacked, and generally took it easy. She was so excited by my Big Book of Princesses. Didn't really do much in the afternoon time. Made a cheesecake for cast, slept for about an hour, ordered a pizza, and watched X-Files. Oh the kid and I had a mini-mortal kombat battle. I won 6-3. Oh yeah.
We headed off to the show around 10. Great show. Everyone had high energy, nobody was upset about anything, nobody was drunk, and everyone hit their cues/marks/songs/etc. Overall we had fun and the audience did too. I did music last night and I had a couple of fails on the songs as far as dancing, but can't win them all.
On the woman front, things were 'interesting' last night. I realized at one point I had 4 different woman there all of whom who could have called me out on my playboy manners. SG was there WITH HER HUSBAND. Although he didn't stay long. He was there briefly. I said hi to him and was polite. She unfortunately had a migraine and was not doing well. Then D was there late and her and I had the most fun. It's hard because I know it's a challenge for us to date because of schedules and distance, but whenever I am around her and do get to spend time with her, I really like her and enjoy her company. Add to that, the one I am going to marry was there, and then there was the one I have just started noticing. It was like dammit. Kid in a candy store who doesn't want the candy attacking each other or more importantly ME. Luckily Marrying Girl and I are just really good friends, SG was in too much pain to pay attention, and the other hasn't noticed me back yet. So I got to spend time with D and that worked out.
I really was a good boy last night. I didn't do anything dumb, make an ass out of myself, or step on my own dick. One of my friends did make a funny comment. She's like "you know how most people you say they have their tongue hanging out of their mouth? You have your balls hanging out of your mouth. Go get laid or something." Truth. And dammit, I am trying.
Went to pie after and got home around 4:30. Time to clean house, expenses, and relax.
