Greetings from the Quad Cities

I am sitting at the airport and it is 1:55 and my flight does not leave until 4:45p.m. Most people would be annoyed but I have my Mackie and my cell phone so I am cool. So I thought I would send a shout out to everyone, especially Sunshine. See you soon darling! I would post more about my trip but it's company business related so I can't post about it on the internet. Other than things went really well (to the best of my knowledge). the wi-fi is free at the Quad Cities airport (not at the memphis one) and it was at the yucky hotel I stayed at. It was clean, but that was it. I am going to be flexible and not go on and on about why that hotel was yuck. But the company paid for so it's all good in the end. I got to have some ice creams at Whitey's ice cream. It's a famous ice cream place in the iowa/illinois area. The ice cream is dee-lish. I could really go for a big fat mountain dew right now. there seems to be a coke monopoly which is okay, but I really need a serious mountain dew fix right now. Can we say caffeine dependency? Nah...I didn't need my new wool coat either, but it would've probably snowed if i had left it at home.

While i've been away, my sis has informed me that J has sent me Chicago Cubs flip flops...How sweet is that? I can't wait to throw these dress shoes out the window and wear them. The dress shoes are pretty decent, but they don't compare to a nice pair of chucks or flip flops. My sis is jealous because she is an even bigger Cubs fan than me (and Daisy has chewed up most of her flip flops---i hide mine in the closet).

I am reading a biography about Marie Antoinette (the new movie is based on this book). It is pretty good so far. i discovered it at the airport in Memphis. At the QC airport I found a very rare special edition JD tractor (Ertl Premiere series) with muddy tires!!! I about squealed. They only put a very limited few with muddy tires in each tractor series and I have only seen them in collector's books. This is one tractor that I will have to leave in the plastic because typically take them out. . I can't wait to show my dad. LOL....

I have received several compliments on my hot pink adidas duffel bag that I have been traveling with. It makes things a lot easier to find especially in a luggage pile. People have also been checking out Mackie. Thank god I got a 12" because the 17" would not have fit on the airplane trays of the puddle jumpers I have been flying on for this trip. They are two seats by two seats. One time i flew from denver to palm springs on a one by one and that was tiny ass.
