More fun than you can shake a stick at

Friday: Woke up at 4:30 am. Caught the flight out from Denver aok. Got to the Chicago airport. Walked to the other gate. Sat down and read. I never heard my named called nor the flight called. So I missed that flight. When they said something about Georgia over the intercom, I knew I was in trouble. I found out where the next flight to Boston would be leaving from and headed over there. blah blah blah. I got my boarding pass and read while I waited. Chitchatted with the friendly people behind the counter. When I went to get on the plane, the boarding pass scanner said that someone else had already boarded in my seat. *Uh oh* I boarded and told the guy in the seat (who was cute and British) that they wanted him to talk to a flight attendant about the mix up. Next up, I had to get off the plane too. It turned out that we were both Wilsons, but he was Alistair (I have no idea how to spell that) and they only had "ALIS" on the ticket (and in my tired state and the fact that my brain jumbles letters anyway, I didn't catch that it wasn't "LISA". The flight info, etc was all right. They gave me a new seat and then off we went. I got to Boston about 2 hours late. Happily, after the taunting, bryttan picked me up at the airport anyway. Using her magic super powers, she and I gathered up chillguru, bbbsg, points and haptotrope for dinner. To meet for dinner. Not to be dinner. We had a great time. There was a ton of laughing and singing and eating. Afterwards, bryttan and I went over to pancua's house to visit. I saw flasher (I think) in passing, met ironfinch and said hi to wyndam. We visited and hung out until pancua gave us the boot (she had to work on Saturday) and then Bryt and I headed over to chillguru and haptotrope's to hang out more and play Cranium (which I'm really lousy at when I'm sleep deprived) but we had a fun time nonetheless. At 2:30 ish, we decided to call it a night and Points, Bryt and I left. I got to sleep around 3:30.

Saturday: Bryt woke me at 9 or 9:30. We went crepe brunch shopping and bought out most of the store (which was a lot of fun). Brunch involved the meeting of bunches of more new people including Emmet, Jeff and more people whose names have slipped away from me. Brunch was a lot of fun. I had an attack of "shy, hide in the kitchen"ness but got over it pretty quickly. A bunch of brunchers went to the Garment District but I had to run off to dinner with the family at my brother's (which was good, but shopping would have been fun too). pancua is a sweetheart for driving back from her place to haptotrope's to pick me up (my bro is about 10 mins from her house). bryttan (who was responsible for the carting around of me this weekend) picked me up after dinner (Bryt got subjected to a large part of my family and survived without scarring). We (chillguru, bbbsg, haptotrope, bryttan, Jeff and I) went to a party where I met tons of people. After dropping off 4 people, Bryt and I made our way back to her house for some sleep.

Sunday: Awake again between 9 and 9:30. Bryt dropped me off at the hotel where my dad and stepmom were staying. We (Dad, Cathy and I) had brunch and talked for a bit. The christening was nice. Lots of standing. Lots of Armenian talking. Yummy food afterwards (prepared by my bro and some friends). I helped cleaning up the place and loading stuff into vehicles. Bryt came and picked me up at my brother's where she got recruited into helping unload a vehicle (we were still at the church when she'd gotten to Alan's). On the drive away from my brother's, we stopped by the house of pancua and wyndam so they could follow us to dinner. We stopped and picked up bbbsg and haptotrope and met points at the restaurant. We also convinced chillguru to come out for dinner. Again, lots of food, singing, laughing and happy friendly stuff. Emmet came over in time for us to decide we were going to have dessert. Somehow it was 10:30 before we left the restaurant. This particular group of people seem to make the time fly. Bryt and I went back to her place and talked until midnight-ish.

Monday: Awake at 5:30. Bryt dropped me off at the airport where I proceeded to get into the wrong lines a few times, but eventually ended up with boarding passes (with my name on them) and got through security. I got on the right plane at the right time. I was asleep before the plane even took off. Made it to Chicago. Got on the right plane at the right time again. More sleeping. Landed in Denver on schedule. Brad picked me up at the airport. We had lunch at Chipotle. Then I came home and napped for 4 hours.

The girl kitty slept on my pillow (which was safely under the covers) the whole time I was gone. Peri apparently whined at my chair because I wasn't in it. The cleaning people come tomorrow. I go back to work tomorrow. I was lousy about remembering to take my camera and take pictures of people (I think that's related to being shy for me - I don't like to take pics of people).
