After being responsible at the track, I have arrived at my parent’s house to a glass of wine and a pomegranate martini. Good thing I’m sleeping here tonight!
Back at the track for a little Carb Day action! Indy is great!!! Especially in May!
Free suite ticket to the Pacers game tonight? Yes, please!
These two gems just brightened my morning. I would probably be even more excited if they had been there to choose from in my closet but seeing them on the tubes was good too.
I get really annoyed when the airline people repeatedly ask people to put small items under the seat in front of them because we have a full flight and people completely ignore this. Oh sure, make other people have to check their bags so that you don’t have to sit on your coat for a 1 hour flight. That makes sense. Just saying…
Also, I’d like to thank the man behind me who had similar thoughts to mine. If I liked talking to people on the plane, I would choose him to talk to.
Well I made it to Minneapolis!! They fixed the plane surprisingly fast and I had to run to my gate but I made it.
Before take-off I found a list of 36 things to do in Minneapolis in the summer and one of the items was “enjoy a stuffed burger at tuggs tavern”…so here I am! It doesn’t take much twisting of my arm to convince me to eat a burger.
Also, the waiter seems pretty nice so I am hoping he can give me some tips. It’s also possible my friend David is in Minneapolis too. Fingers crosses for a spontaneous reunion!
A nice little routine
I’m currently in a city with a population of 18,000 which seems like a lot now that I looked it up. However, based on what you see driving down the main street in the city…it seems really small. I have a feeling it’s because there is a lot of land out here so I think all those people are pretty spread out.
While here though, I’m enjoying my time. I go to work in the morning, then come home and go for a quick run. After that, I try out a new restaurant per a suggestion from the very helpful manager at the front desk of my hotel or Yelp. I usually make a quick stop at Target on my way home just to kill some time and then headed back to the hotel where I work on the crossword until I decide I should be reading my articles for my law class.
I can’t say that I’d want this life forever…or even for more than a week…but I’m enjoying the quiet setting.
The people at my plant suggested I drive north to Spicer and have dinner at a place called Zorbaz where I could enjoy dinner and a beer on the lake. Sounds perfect to me!
Not a bad place to go for a run…I like Minnesota!
Apparently my plane is having mechanical problems. We have been told to just stay seated until they figure out if this flight will get us to Chicago or if they have to put us on another plane. What I got from all that? “Emel-you for sure are going to miss your connection.” The goal is to get to Minnesota by tonight. Cross your fingers!
