I first had to go to work in the morning and luckily there were no problems that I encountered and I even got out on time. After work I headed home, my sublet, to pick up my suitcase and head to the airport. I had already checked in online and and didn't need to check any of my luggage so it was straight to the security line. I would have to say I probably saved myself a good half hour if not more by checking in ahead of time; those lines were crazy long. The security line was a little long as well, at least as long as I have ever seen it at LaGuardia, but it moved quite well.
While I was standing in this line all I kept hearing was people complaining that their flights had been canceled or delayed and they would be late getting to their destinations. I was a little scared at this point since I didn't have a direct flight and had to stop in DC. This was two chances for my flights to get delayed and or canceled. Luckily my first flight was on time and I left New York without any problems. When I got to DC I checked on my connecting flight and amazingly enough that flight was also on time. I called DKNY and BH to see if their direct flights home to Cincinnati were still on time, since we were going to car pool home from the airport, but unfortunately for them their flight was delayed.
I ended up getting on my second flight about 15 minutes late, which in turn meant we left the airport about 30 minutes late. Not too bad after all of the complaining I had earlier in the day. As we were landing in Cincinnati I noticed that I-275 was bumper to bumper traffic and had no idea why. It seems that all of the roadways were super icy. The temperature didn't climb fast enough during the day and all of the rain/sleet made for some hazardous road conditions. In fact as we were taxing to our gate there was a plane with fire trucks and cop cars all around it, I didn't know what was going on. Later I found out that the plane spun out of control and off the runway as it was headed to its gate; that's how icy it was.
Jenster came to pick me up, but since 275 was so bad it took her about an hour to go 2 miles and finally get me from the airport. I was so close to being home, yet so far away. In the time Jenster was picking me up, and she had to turn right out of our street because her car just started sliding that way even though she was trying to go left, TD got in an accident at the end of our street.
Jenster and I finally made it back to the casa after an unusual route home, 275 to 471 to 75 to the Lateral, and Festivus was in full swing. I had a good time and I hope everyone else did as well. Here are some pictures of the festivities.
BFF's from grade school!
Joel decorated the house; didn't he do a nice job.
The commotion of Festivus.
Joel loves when people mess with his hair so The Doctor and I went for it.
BH and I in our almost matching outfits that we both wore on our respective plane rides home.
Me and my sis!
All the ladies. I assume this was taken before I got there because I don't remember this at all.
Seinfeld related food.
Black and White cookies. They were still cakey, but better than last years.
Oh how I miss Teed, and of course senior year Jenster; that is really who I am trying to kiss.
Beers!
Three out of four brothers, plus an adopted one.
A rare shot of Ando and I.
The crappy Festivus pole. Next time I will get on it and make a real one.
Ambiance of Festivus; I bet you wish you were there.Actually most people who read this blog were there.
There were airing of grievances; I didn't air a grievance about being pregnant.
