Sunday was actually fairly relaxing-- Jeremy went to church with his parents-- I didn't go, partly because I don't do church and partly because Marc reports their sound system/band is through the roof; almost literally! I slept in a while and then when Jeremy got back, we went over to Buffalo Wild Wings to see Suzy! I was so glad we got to see her and see how well she's doing-- back in school, living with a guy she really likes, enjoying Oxford, and having the life she deserves!
After that, we hopped on home to get ready for Valerie and Ana to arrive! As you may have noticed in an earlier post, that didn't go as planned... Chicago (their connection between Europe and Memphis) was slammed by storms and the flight from FRAORD got diverted to DTW. Of course, United managed to not record the flifo correctly (flight information) and so it showed that Valerie had landed in Chicago NOT Detroit! She doesn't have a US phone (being as she's here infrequently at best) and we saw her ORDMEM flight had been canceled, so we were very worried when we couldn't get in touch with her!
After several rounds of talking to United customer service representatives (who weren't so much with the service or the brains), we finally got one to tell us that he was fairly certain she wasn't on the plane that got to Memphis at 10 something that night. Thankfully, none of us felt like going to bed until after her potential flight had landed because sure enough, we got a call from the Memphis airport that Valerie and Ana were there! We hopped in the truck and ran up to grab them. Valerie was exhausted, and Ana in all her PK glory was wired from being trapped on a plane all day, and when we got home Ana suckered Jeremy in to sleeping in her room that night! Valerie shared a few items while unpacking for nightclothes, including some delicious smelling Ethiopian coffee! Finally, we rolled in to bed at about 1a and slept till morning!

But I'm bored!
I really love my job, but I'm gonna have to start picking up more shifts! I get so bored now on my days off that I'm almost wishing I'd gone to look in to that job at BR. Speaking of which, I got a really cute shirt there on our Black Friday excursion that looks something like this, but the neck is a little higher, there are cute buttons on the shoulder, and it's a darker more marine blue. I'll take a picture when I get it back from the dry cleaners as I spilled bruschetta on it when I took Jeremy to dinner. The day I bought it. I still got it.
The news is boring, mostly people complaining about airport delays, but don't want to leave earlier in the day or not fly on a holiday weekend. Our friend Amanda sent a text on Thanksgiving to all us airline folks who are no longer working there (so, all of us that were friends lol) that we were all thankful for not having to spend a holiday weekend at the airport dealing with those people!!
I think I'm going to go buy stuff to send out after the first of the year so that I can go ahead and fill them out and have them ready to drop in the mail when I'm allowed to not keep secrets anymore :P Jeremy's much cuter than his mom (and, admittedly, me, too) gives him credit for-- I was pleasantly surprised at his response!
Now I'm back to watching HGTV and eating some PBJs. This girl on Property Virgins is ridiculous-- she wants everything in the world for under $110k which is silly. I also just noticed that the host has buckteeth... whoops. Nothing else interesting for the day, so I'm out. Ciao!
