Oops! Thursday

Okay, I know I said I wasn't going to write a blog post on the iPhone keyboard, but this is too big an Oops! to skip:

I missed my flight!

I have flown quite a bit in my life—eight trips to Europe in 2000 alone—but I have never missed a flight. I pride myself on always leaving the house no later than (driving time + 2 hours) before my flight. But this has been a hectic couple of weeks. I kept glancing at the itinerary and seeing 12:30. So I left the house at 9:00.

Sounds good, right? Except for the fact that my arrival in Orlando, not my departure from Pittsburgh, was 12:30.

I'm thankful the Pittsburgh airport is so nice. I'm thankful I never schedule the last available flight. I'm thankful there are seats available on the 8:00 p.m. flight. And I'm thankful I put two books in my purse.

Woo hoo - a day of forced relaxation. Sign me up!
