Yawn...sorry I haven't posted in awhile....

Nothing really too thrilling has come up as of late...and I didn't really have anything to blurb about. So instead of wasting words, I just didn't post.

So we got back from Vegas this morning...after our flight being delayed about an hour and a half. Then, apparently due to the weather we were circling the airport waiting for clearance to land. Which we did. Altho I heard from other people their flights were HORRIBLE. Casey and Andrea's flight was just like something from a movie. Apparently they were whipped around and all this other stuff, women and children screaming...no good. They had to make an emergency landing in St. Louis and Andrea refused to get back on a plane again, so they rented a car and were driving home. Our flight was not that bad in the least, really. The Captain was a little slow on take off, and seemed really low on landing....but it was alright. Just happy to get home. Altho, I'm technically not home. I'm in the Nook, listening to John snore. Haha. We didn't get here until almost 4am. It was a long day. But back in Chicago.

I heard about the weather while we were gone. Scary shit. It's especially hard when you're away and can't do anything about it! I received a phone call from a friend right after getting a text about the tornado heading for Hammond. I immediately called my mom. Here's the conversation:

Mother: Hello. (Caller ID, she knew it was me)
Me: (trying not to sound panicked) Yeah....
Mother: What?
Me: What's going on? Where are you? How's the weather?
Mother: Just watching a movie. We're fine.
Me: A movie? You know there's a tornado warning, because there's one on the way to Hammond RIGHT NOW!
Mother: (Totally calm) Yeah, it's been going on all day. It's all quiet here. We're fine.
Me: (a little apprehensive)Ok...but just listen for sirens or whatever and be careful!
Mother: I will. Love you, goodbye.

So then I find out the tornado hit a Cracker Barrel right next to where my cousin works. Thankfully, my cousin wasn't working and alright.

It's just so hard to not be here when shit goes down. Thankfully, as far as I've heard, no one in my immediate circle was injured or lost anything...be thankful for small blessing.

Anyhow. What else?

Where, there's a new guy. It's only about 2 weeks now, so we'll see what happens...but he's nice. He's 31, an iron worker, has his own place, and is looking for a relationship, not just random hook ups. We've been talking everyday, thru both phone calls and texts. We still have yet to go out on like, a real date...so I'm still guarded. But he seems like a decent guy with a good head on his shoulders...so PLEASE keep fingers crossed. They say it hits when you least expect it, and I was TOTALLY not expecting this! I had been dating his friend for awhile, actually, when the new guy and I hooked up. Hey, you snooze, you lose. And it didn't appear to be going anywhere with the friend anyhow.

Sigh. It's nice. He's nice. Let's just hope. I'm just trying to enjoy it while still keeping my guard up, at least until I get some kind of sign from him or something, know what I mean?

Anyhow. Just keep your fingers crossed.

So I'm gonna jump in the shower now. The troops at John's are rousing. We girls are gonna go get pedicures. I REALLY need one. I decided a weekend in Vegas in flip flops would be a good thing. My feet tell me otherwise. WOOF! Haha.

I'll get pix up on MySpace soon. Talk to you guys later!
