From San Jose to San Jose in a day!

Sleeping has magical powers. While I stared at the clock blinking a 4:22am at me in the SFO airport I repeated that mantra as if I had slept a full night sleep instead of staying up a full 24 hours plus.

With blood shot eyes and a mouth full of golf balls I had to have a charming interaction with a rather grumpy ticketing agent. Reminding myself, charming equals first class, charming equals first class because my inital reaction was to reach over the counter and strangle the unpleasant woman who was about to decide my airplane fate.

Walking away with a ticket and a false promise of a place in first class I began my sleepless trip to Costa Rica. Another ticketing agent later and one far more unpleasant met me at my gate grunted at me, "NO chance on first class lady." and then proceeded to laugh.

 That was it! My resolve was slipping. Just-make-it-to-the-plane! Andddd I did. Then an angel decended down from his heavenly perch dressed in flight attendant attire and asked if I was flying D3 aka standby.

"Yes I am." I said hesitantly

He smiled and said "would you like  a complimentary alcholic beverage."

I sat right up and repeated 3 times "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

So 2 free drinks and a free snack later I was ready for my trip to Central America! In fact, I think my seat partner caught me drunkenly mummbling San Jose, San JOSEEE! either way I enjoyed the moment immensely.

Crazy Lady = Run away!

I had the craziest and most expected news today...I dont know how I feel about it and I certainly dont know how to handle it. Do I cry (already did that). Do I start yelling (already do that). Do I get excited....havent done that...Oh Lexie no one is to blame but you my friend. That is right I got myself in this mess now I have to either deal with it or figure out how to get myself out....that actually might be a lot more difficult than originally thought. Fuck me! I simply want to run away from the crazy person that I am right now...sounds nice...
