    My airport stinks. I arrived at the airport at 5:15 am for my 6:00 am flight. When I walked in it seemed a little warm but I assummed it was just me but the further I got the hotter I got. Apparently the jackrabbits that run the airport don't turn on the air conditioning until 6:00 am. I would guess normally this wouldn't be an issue if the night time temperature dipped below 90F!!! It was incredible I was actually sweating, the counter people were giving out the name of the person to complain to every chance they got.

    My trip is just about over, it's time to go back to the sweltering heat of Louisiana. So far I think I've eaten everything in the state of Michigan, I've been to every mall, and have tried on every color lip gloss ever made. Who says you can't go home again?

    And how about that Kid Rock? Love him or hate him he puts on one damn good concert. He puts on the type of concert that makes me want to become a musician or do something in the music industry. I think i'll first have to learn an instrument.. hmm.. I think I say that after most concerts.... I'll have to think about this. Does anyone else feel like that after a show? It might be time for another poll. Which reminds me I need to figure out where I left off with those candy polls. Am I sounding like Nightie right now?

    Just that on its own makes travelling okay, doesn't it?

    Depends what it is, papaya - my mum forgot to pack pants for me one time, left them all in the airing cupboard; my grandmother couldn't stop laughing and made her go straight to the Co-op first thing next morning.

    Has anybody seen the new anti-smoking commercial? I think it's a national commercial. The one that starts of with the kids saying smoking didn't kill his Mom and it cuts to his mom who has the hole in her throat, then it cuts to others with similar disfigurments and ailments cause by smoking.

    It makes me want to quit smoking and I don't even smoke!!!

    I think this one even beats the Sarah Mchlachlin ASPCA commercial with the abused animals. Both are quickly turned off.

    Speaking of commercials, What do you think of when you hear the term "Trophies of Grace"?

    Do you know what I hate about travelling all the hassel, with how many bags Im allowed and how much the weigh and what can go in each one.
    And I am currenly stuck in this airport for the next 6 and a half hours!
    On the plus side Ive found the internet here is actually cheeper than the intanet in the library but no spel checker meens Im sure this has revertied to bad bad spellings .
