"Airportant Thoughts," or just travel worthy

I am currently sitting in the Tampa International Airport at 9:03 AM Florida time. As I was sitting here, wondering what to do, I decided I would do a random blog about my observations here at TIA...and thoughts, too, maybe
  • First, I think it genius that they have free wireless here. It's like when you have a lap-top, your brain is wired to here all the laptop jargon. I was being jumbled through security, being asked to take my coat, shoes, and about everything else off when I heard them say they have free wireless. Bingo.
  • While going through security at the airport, the security gentleman asked me to take my laptop out of my SC carry on bag. Oh boy. I unzipped it and unstrapped and hooked every corner but ONE and the guy was like, "Oh, nevermind, just put it back." No comment.
  • I do appreciate all the security at airports, to say the least...especially after all the incidents over the holidays! They are really good about buckling down and making things as safe as humanly possible.
  • I heard onthe radio the other day that a fad of the 2000 decade has been the growth and obsession with Starbucks. Sure. Then I saw two old ladies in wheel chairs, like 80, with their Starbucks. Okay, I wholeheartedly agree.
  • I love how every restaurant in an airport turns into a restaurant that serves breakfast. Quiznos, Chili's....etc.
  • I love how the "Observation Deck" is code for "Smoke Deck" -- just call it what it is!
  • They always have movies about falling in love in the airport, or living in the airport. Oh, how honestly boring! The airport is SO boring.
  • TIA does play good music. They played "New Soul" by Yael Naim, most of you probably know it from the IPOD commercial. I watched my bro and sis sit listening and moving silently to their IPODs, it was like a live commercial. haha.
  • Over the break, I found these PINK sunglasses. They were pink rimmed, with pink lenses. I've decided that I LOVE a pink world. Everywhere you look, it's pink. I LOVE pink. Haha, I may miss color sometimes, though.
  • I think it's cool how, in three hours, I will be in KS
  • I could never travel for a living. Traveling makes me have narcolepsy. I fall asleep everywhere, all the time...and I am still tired! I feel like my friend, Lauren.
  • Finally, when it comes to breaks, and what-not, I've decided I like being the "Leaver" rather than the "Leavee." The "leavee" always get's screwed. You, know? Like when you're little and your parents leave you with grandma to go on a cruise. They're the leavers, and you're the leavee. Now when you're the leaver, you're busy, so it's quite naturally the better position to be in. Being the leavee, you have like 2498948782 more hours in a day because you are either bored, or you miss the person that left you. As they say, the length of a minute has always depended on what side of the bathroom door you're on.

Thanks for listeing to my very "airportant" thoughts. Until next year, blessings and peace.

Name Me!

I've been thinking a lot about how God re-names people in the Bible lately. Examples: Abram is re-named Abraham, Sarai into Sarah, Saul into Paul. If God re-named me who would I be? I'm thinking Holly is a good bet. Hehe :P.
