I made it to Florida alive; flying wasn't nearly as bad as I made it out to be in my head. The only thing that was awful was about a million screaming children in every direction. Dear, sweet little Richard (April's son) who flew with me, didn't see a need to stop talking from 3am to 12pm, that was loads of fun. Did I mention I'm not a morning person? Oh well, I was glad to have a little sidekick in the insane Atlanta airport. Speaking of the Atlanta airport...we were sitting in a little restaurant getting some breakfast when young Richard looks up and sees some Middle Eastern women walking past. Now, Richard is only 10 and the type of child that will say anything, literally. So all I can think is "please don't notice, please don't notice"...yeah, he noticed. He says, not quiet might I add, "THAT'S SO COOL! THEY HAVE BANDANNAS ALL OVER THEM! WHY DO THEY DO THAT?! BRITTNEY LOOK AT THOSE BANDANNAS! THEY'RE SO COOL!" Luckily, I don't think any of the women heard, but I'm sure someone in the crowded restaurant did, but hey, what can you do?
So far, West Palm is nice, but I haven't experienced enough of it yet to make a judgment. Megan is in Miami getting things set up for Flugtag, the Red Bull event happening on Saturday. I'm still in West Palm with her friend Nora and I'm really hoping we can just do some shopping or something today. The beach sounds nice, just not right now, it's SO hot out.
Also, turns out it'll just be Megan and I driving back to Indiana and her boyfriend will not be joining us. I'm kind of disappointed to lose an extra driver, but I'm looking forward to some girl time on the way back!
Aaaaand lastly, on Monday, Craig Poe is driving 2 hours to come visit! I'm actually pretty excited, I don't think I've seen him since his graduation open house over 2 years ago and we were pretty good friends. That is all, I'm off to attempt to sleep a little more perhaps? Have a lovely day :)
This Richard kid sounds like a cool dude. Everyone could use more honest curiosity. I wonder how many people have skipped the curiosity and assumed that the hijab is [insert bigoted opinion here.]
ReplyDeleteHahah very true. One of Megan's friends actually told me about a mom she used to nanny for that teaches her children that African Americans are all on drugs. They were in the car and the mom pointed at a man and said "kids, what's he doing?" kids respond, "druuuuuugs!!!"
ReplyDeleteYou know Brittney, last April when Greggie and I were in Naples, Craig Poe had asked me to call when we came and he met us for lunch!!! Tell him "hi" from me when you see him. And is Megan "our" LCS Megan who was in your class?
ReplyDeleteI will! Yes it is our Megan :) she's been here for over 2 years and I've yet to come visit, so I thought it was well overdue.
