Well, I’m about to leave for the airport, in 15 minutes or so. Yes, it’s way too early, but I’d go mad waiting around here. At least when I’m hanging around _there_ I’ll fell like I’m on my way. 😃 If anybody is at O’Hare around 7:30 and wants to meet, I’m on United Airlines flight 1034. **Zyada** and I will be staying at the Doubletree, but she doesn’t get in until after 9:00, so I intend to go check in and come back. The wait is painful enough already, so I could use some company. ---

And of course that post is full of typos. That’s “feel” “Zyada and”, maybe more. 😉 ---

We three are perfect for each other.

Groceries and breakfast food for houseguests in fridge? no Hummus & Pita for jarbrunch purchased? no Huge stress-zits growing on chin? yes Bathroom, living room, and Michelle’s room (where Cranky will sleep) are clean, thank heavens. And there are clean towels. ---

Okay, I am just leaving work. Then it’s two quick errands and the long and winding (okay, straight as an arrow) road awaits. Yeehaw! [sub]I can’t believe I just wrote yeehaw[/sub] ---

You could come by here, grab the keys, swing by my place, and just go nuts. Would I have to wear some kind of sexy outfit and be there the whole time, or would the words “please feel free to drink any liquor you find/see you at 6/you’re the best borrowed bitch ever” do the trick? ---

So email me and I’ll be checking this every hour or so until I fal asleep. ---

This, dopers, was a great night. I wish that sleep wasn’t necessary, or I would still be with my friends, living good. ---
