Welcome to Omaha...

Trying to keep in the running for Favorite Offspring of the Year (you try to beat Prince Billy!) I agreed to pick up my mom at the airport last night. I had dinner with a couple of friends (props to Mattie and Elaine!) and got over to the airport with sometime to kill. I tried to save some money by parking in one of the lots next to Carter Lake but that place is so sketchy that after sitting in the dark, by myself for like 2 minutes I had to leave. After circling the airport a couple of times, I thought I should head inside because I think the airport police were starting to notice! I got up to the waiting area, at the end of the terminals and was tempted to enter the bar but I didn't have an extra $50 on me to have a drink so I opted to play the bar video game machine instead.
I started to notice people were coming up from the terminal and went out to greet my mom. As I walked out I noticed that a woman was changing her toddlers diaper on the floor. Okay, so if you have never been to the Eppley airport, passengers walk up this incline from the terminal to the small waiting space for "visitors". So imagine getting off a long flight and come up to the top of the incline and see this woman changing a diaper in an airport terminal. I understand you have to do what you have to do, but seriously...maybe move off to the side! whatever...
After picking up my mom, dinner was on the agenda next. Three drive-thru's later, I was running out of room to put stuff. I thought we were going to have to open the trunk. Made it home in time to have a fight with my brother (I was RIGHT) and get ready for the next day...just glad today is FRIDAY!
In other news....
1. I got my new glasses today and totally love them. The girl at the glasses shop totally was stealing my thunder because she kept trying on MY glasses before I even got to try them on because she was "so in Love with them." I wanted to tell her to get her own freakin pair! Hooker!
2. We are beyond dead this afternoon and its going to be tough. So what does the evil co-worker do...ask if she can leave early! for the love! Im hoping my boss will say I can go home to, but Im sure thats wishful thinking!
3. CONGRATULATIONS matt on your interview. You will do awesome! GOOD LUCK!
4. For a good laugh...check out these pictures. If only jasmine would sit still for that long!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
