**I wrote this yesterday, but couldn't post it until today. And, I couldn't get my font to work. SORRY!!
Today was SO MUCH more hectic than I intended it to be. I didn't make it to the gym today because I went to the gym twice yesterday and am very sore from lifting weights. What's that? Why? Yeah. I've been asking myself that same question for about 24 hours now. I forgot my company card in my office desk drawer, so I had to visit the office to pick that up. I ate very little today because I was so anxious. I left one of my Victoria's Secret lotions in my carry, and I had to THROW IT AWAY when I was going through security. Ugh. Every time I think about that it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
I almost had a panic attack today - I thought I had lost the LemonHead. I know. Relax. I found the elusive little sucker. Apparently he doesn't like traveling and was hiding in one of my other tote bags. Luckily, I found him. Speaking of good things, here are a few more pluses for the day: my checked luggage only weighed 40 -43 pounds!! WOO!! That is a huge accomplishment for me. AND, my carry on suitcase is only half full. I think I am going to make it back with loads of souvenirs!! I also thought I left my personal cell phone at home but later found it in my tote bag while I was sitting at the gate. Heck yeah!! Leaving my company card in my office was a little bit of a blessing in disguise. Since I had to visit the office, I got to see our wonderful boss with the great hair and wish Amandabear good luck and steal another huge before I left!!
No good pictures yet. JJ was sitting right across the aisle from me, but his TV screen was "busted," so he got to move closer to the rest of the team. From here, he looks to be sleeping... Maybe I can snap a picture of him on my way to the restroom. DM has been awesome. He got me into the Lufthansa Senator's Lounge. SWANKY. Really awesome chairs, food and company! He also let me know that booze on the flight is FREE. Holy Bananas. I guess I will be sleeping on this flight. Oh, and JJ was CRAZY in the lounge. There was a plethora of really good food and this man walks in and gets an Easter cupcake, a chocolate cookie and apple juice. "Excuse me, when is your naptime?" He then asked me to have half of his cookie because he didn't want the whole thing. You guys all know what my response was. 10 minutes later what is he doing? Eating a bowl of jellybeans AND gummy bears.
The TVs are pretty sweet. But, I swear, I think that on one of the music channels they've played the Madonna - Frozen video nonstop for the last three hours. Seriously?? I love Madonna too... but come on. That video kinda reminds me of The Ring.
The rest of the team has been really awesome so far. The head honcho keeps giving me crap for my day planner. When we met for our trip brief, he claimed to be intimidated by its size. Rightfully so. It is quite an intimidating accessory. Before we boarded the flight he recommended that I stow it in an overhead compartment.
We are about three hours into the flight. Fantastic. My arsenal against boredom = twizzlers, starburst, gum, a book "Telling Lies," the QA Style Guide, videos of Kiwibear, pictures, stolen items (MWAHAHA), and I guess sleeping at some point.
