My blog...a glimpse into the meanderings of my mind.

UGH

Well, today has been very interesting to say the least. Today began my trip to Michigan for one of my good friend's wedding, which I just happen to be in as a groomsman. It all started around 5:40 when I rolled out of bed to get ready to leave, etc. Brandy and I left greenville around 6:20, and had a decent trip despite the thick traffic between gwinnett and the 285 bypass. That was all good.

I got to the airport, and thru security and even to my gate by 10:00 for my 10:45 (on time) flight to Flint, MI. That was when all the fun began...to start with my blood sugar started gettin all flaky do to nervousness, and such, but I was able to get calm enough not to notice that at all. I sat around my gate, keeping tabs on the time, and noticed that the time for my flight was ever approaching, and I was hearing nothing about it. Since it's been years since I flew, and this was the first time I've flown alone, I just shrugged it off as worry. Little did I know that I should've been worried. For the gate on my boarding pass, and the gate the plane arrived at differed completely. And this difference wasn't just a matter of number, no...it was in a totally different concourse. Anyhow, I'm getting ahead of myself. Around 10:35-10:40 I gathered my stuff and went to find out where in the world my plane was. After waiting in line I got to the desk to inquire about it around 10:45 (yes, the time I was supposed be going down a runway...) and found out then that it wasn't at D35 NO SIREEE it was at C33, and I missed it...which the lady behind the counter was nice enough to point out to me (as if I didn't already know...). Thankfully, there was another flight going up there this afternoon...at 2:00. Which meant I had to sit for oh 3 hours in an airport b/c someone somewhere goofed up.

By the time I did actually make it to flint, which was around 4 pm, I was exhausted and hungry (turns out I'd only had a cookie, 2 small kruellers, and 1.5 frappachinos...due mainly to a lack of desire to eat...despite the hunger [yea, figure that one out....]). Currently, my day will continue to drag on. I've eaten something (honestly not enough cuz I'm still starving...), and ridden another hour and a half to get to my friends city (midland, MI), helped move stuff around for the reception on Saturday, met family and such...then in about 45 minutes we have to drive back to Flint (bout an hour to hour or so) to pick another groomsman from the airport, swing by some funny named town to get some forgotten honeymoon plans of mike's that a co-worker (of mike's) is bringing home with him from the capitol building in Lansing where mike works. Then after another hour's drive we'll get to the hotel where we get to (may i say "finally") sleep.

So, tis been one L-O-N-G day...and who knows what the rest of the weekend shall hold...
