Oops

This blog post was supposed to be all about saying goodbyes and coming home. But due to recent events I'm going to have to save that one for later.

To make a long (and slightly painful) story short, I missed my afternoon flight and thus will not be sleeping in my own bed tomorrow night. There were a number of factors that contributed to this fact, but in the end I cannot really blame anyone but myself.

I've already openly sobbed in front of everyone in the airport, including four male airport employees who obviously were a bit awkarded out  by my public display of affrontation. So I think by now I've gotten it all out of my system.

Now, to keep myself from being too angry at myself and being too upset about it all .. I'm going to list some of the positives of this situation.

• I left a bucket of chocolate ice cream in the freezer of friend's of mine- and they have graciously allowed me to come over and consume some. (2nd best cure for a bad day, 1st of course being some sort of alcoholic beverage but unfortunately I don't have that at my immediate disposal.*)
• This extra time has provided an opportunity to finally watch the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, something that I feel as a woman I am obligated to have watched. (And that’s another ingredient to cure a bad day- a nice good ol' chickie movie!)

• I get to stay in the nice hot sun for longer. Aka I don't have to go back to the cold town of Edmonton quite yet where there recently has been snow.

• I don't have to say bye to people yet. (Well, I guess I already said goodbye- but now I don't actually have to live that goodbye out quite yet...of course that means i'll have to do the whole goodbye thing again, but thats not something that I should put on this list. THINK POSITIVE ROBYN.)
• I don't have to eat airplane food tomorrow.
• I get to eat more really super sweet and delicious pineapple.
• I get to eat more fantastic iced coffee.
• I'm sure there's a couple more out there too….

So, I guess now if you are wanting to know of what things you can pray for, you can pray against my own stupidity so I can actually one day get back home. :)

That would be much appreciated.
