Just Another Manic Monday

Posted by kim on February 26, 2007

I just about missed my flight this morning from Denver back to Omaha. I got a lecture from the ticket attendent that I should have arrived earlier (after standing in line for what seemed an hour). She said there was no way my luggage would make it and didn’t even know if I’d make it. So, I took a run for it as I didn’t want to wait another 5 hours for the next flight. I cut to the front of the security line with not too many sneers and arrived at the gate just in time to board before they shut the jetway.

So while on board, I contemplated as to whether I would wait around in Omaha for my luggage to arrive on the next flight (I could always shop) or if I’d call and beg my brother who works in Omaha to pick it up for me. But then I remembered that I know the secret….

I had already told the poor guy that got stuck next to me about my dilemna, but as we landed I turned and said to him, “I’m gonna think positive. My luggage will have made it and be waiting for me.” And you know what? It was. Coincidence? But I should have thought more positive about the rest of the morning…

My car was buried under 6 inches of snow, and I had no coat or gloves. But I did have my luggage that contained dirty socks to wear over my hands and dig the car out. I’m sure I was quite the site. Then I got a text message that the highway was flooded, and I’d have to detour. Then my mother calls that my son needs to go the doctor for strep throat…

While in Denver, we went and saw The Number 23 movie with my free movie tickets from Blingo. I had seen Jim Carrey’s interview on The Today Show last week, and if you listen to his views on the Universe, he knows the secret to success as well.
