Detroit Recap

Well, I hate flying. I hate flying by myself even more. I'm just scared. Plain and simple. Anyway, so Friday night, Chris drops me off at the airport. I had said to him, "I really hope this isn't a full flight!" Heh. I think I jinxed myself by saying. The plane was totally full. So, I get on and try to put my bag overhead. Well, the bag was heavier than I thought, and I'm shorter than I like to think, so...I was having problems. The sad part is that nobody would help me. There were about 5-7 men sitting around me, all taller than me and all in their 40's-50's and nobody would help. Finally, this nice lady helped me out. So, I get all settled and we take off. I freak out. Horribly. I actually forgot my valium so I was in full on panic mode. So then, we hit some crazy bad turbulence. It sucked. I got a double shot of vodka, but honestly it didn't help all that much. We landed safely though and that's all that counts.

Saturday, we went to the "hot, trendy" club in Ferndale which turned out being a little hot, but definitely not trendy. It was called Boogie Fever Cafe. It was the coolest 70's disco bar. We had a blast! We didn't get in until early Sunday morning. Sunday we slept in and then went out to brunch with a friend of my cousin's, who also just got a divorce. This is teh same woman whose mansion house I visited last winter when I went up for my cousin's bridal shower. It's crazy how people get divorced like it's no big deal, but more on that later.

I left Detroit last night, crying because I had to fly again. It sucked so bad. The flight was a lot better on the way home though. I was so glad to land in STL. I won't be flying by myself again. I think I gave myself an ulcer worrying about flying all weekend!

When I got home last night, I took some meds and woke up all loopy this morning. So loopy, that I thought Miles O'Brien on CNN said, "Let's move the gays overseas..." I wake up and said, "DID HE JUST SAY LETS MOVE THE GAYS OVERSEAS?" Chris replied with, "uh, no..he SAID 'Let's turn our GAZE overseas." Looking back on it, I guess that's what he meant. It didn't sound like it to me though. I think he might be a gay hater. I knew I didn't like Miles for a good reason.

Tomorrow my dining out club is dining at Brio's. I'm looking forward to it. I've heard some good things about the place and I'm anxious to see if they're all they're cracked up to be. So, we'll see. Hopefully I'll get my review up by Wednesday.
