Attitude of Gratitude

My street during first snow and me in my hip UNIGLO purple parka!

Just so you know, I cannot find a Burger King in the Chicago airport. I heard there is one in terminal 3, but I am in terminal C and those don’t sound close by each other. If an airport has terminals with letters AND numbers then there are way too many terminals in said airport.

I got up at the ungodly hour of 4:30AM this morning to catch a 6:30AM flight that sat on the tarmac for 1.5 hours before taking off. Of course, this was after almost missing the flight because it was damn near impossible to catch a taxi this morning. Some of you might not know that we got our first “real” snow yesterday, and I changed my flight to today so I wouldn’t have to go through the stress having flights cancelled or missed.

I thought that was a good idea right up until I saw the taxi situation. Just when I’d given up all hope of actually catching the flight, the cab driver showed up like my knight in shining armor and wisked me off to the airport. I felt fleetingly better until I got to the airport and saw the lines for security. Geez, I should have known better, but I momentarily lost my mind and thought they’d be short during the holiday season for some strange reason!

I’ll say this about sitting on tarmacs. I am a-okay with that. I’d rather sit on the tarmac relaxing than hanging out for hours in some busy airport at Christmastime. That, and I’d rather make it in one piece and give them the time they need to deice that plane. A-Okay.

See ya’ll in Texas!
