So in the past weekend I have taken 4 flights and I realize something.
Whoever made the airport rules to getting on a plane is nuts.
They first board people with small children or who will need extra time.
That makes sense get those people settled first. Then they go to the people in 1st Class.
This rule is dumb these people sit at the front of the plane wouldn't it make more sense to board the passengers in coach who will be towards the back of the plane first. I can't tell you how much time I spent waiting as others put their stuff in the overhead. In my opinion they should board people by time needed and then by back to front for the plane. It would ease congestion and make a smoother transition to getting on the plane. I also do not get the whole everyone having a carry on that is the size of a small suitcase. I thought your carry on was suppose to be a backpack or purse. It was so bad on 1 flight that somone had to travel 6 rows back to stow thier overhead suitcase. It was crazy.

Fun Weekends
There is nothing like a weekend away to give you perspective and help you relax.
While I am the 1 person that should not need a weekend away as I am single and do not have kids. It was truly needed. From the stress of work and school I was ready to crack.
This weekend has truly been an adventure but so laid back. I had a blast with Lori and Holly we all needed some time and seemed to have a great time.
While we had tenativly planned to go into downtown Chicago and go to Navy Pier and shopping on Madison Avenue. Well we sort of got lost going to the Metra Station due to faulty Google directions and user error on my part. By the time we got to the station the train had just pulled up and we were on the wrong side of the tracks. We looked at the schedule and the next train was 2 hours later. Needless to say we decided not to go into town and to go Woodfield Mall where we shopped and got a pedicure. I am SO happy that I found a dress for my cousins wedding in July at JC Penney's that was 50% off. It was very nice.
Later that night we went to Kohl's where I spent to much money but got some much needed work clothes.
All in all a fabulous weekend that I do not want to end.
Saying goodbye is always horrible and makes me cry but I try to not let it show.
Luckily I will see my girls in 7 weeks.
Such a long time but not really.

What a Day
Talk about a crazy week.
I feel like I have been going 100 miles an hour between finishing Finals, Work, and finding a place to live. So the news on the moving front I have an appointment to see a house that is a possibility tomorrow. It is in a good neighborhood has an extra bedroom and a finished basement. The roomies and I will hopefully have good news the only downside is that it is almost at our max of what we want to pay and I was hoping to find something for less but we will see what happens.
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. Not sure what that exactly means I spent mine running from appointments to work and then dating dinner a Chinese Restaurant.
I anxiously couting down the days till my vacation it seems like the closer it gets the longer the days are.
The only disappointment to this week has been the fact that my cousin is having a Wedding Shower but sadly I was not invited :(!! That could be because I mentioned to my aunt that I did not think I could go because it was the same weekend as my girl's weekend and that has been planned for to long. What frustrates me is that my Mom just got her invite yesterday and the party is a week from Saturday so there was really no time for her to make plans to go. I am think I will drop our gifts off on Friday afternoon before the girls weekend if I can get my friends to make a pit stop before the hotel.

The Swine Flu Craze
This whole pandemic is very frustrating for me.
I understand that people are scared and understand that, but I also feel people are obsessing about it too much. I totally get it if you have a baby or small children because their bodies can not fight off illness like we can as adults.
The normal flu period is over that usually happens in the winter.
I think we need to keep up the prevenative teachings we use in the winter.
The washing of your hands, having lots of Vitamin C, if you have a fever don't go to work/school, and if you have been sick and aren't getting better go and see the doctor.
These may seem like average things but they do help.
Seeing this makes me think about what they did 70 years ago when there was no flu shot or chicken pox shot. We have fought many types of Influenza before and been ok and we will continue to do so in the future.
