My heels click furiously on the airport floor as I sprint down the hall toward my gate; coat and bags thrown asunder. "Please, God, let them have held my flight!" I beg half aloud as I skid around a corner. Gasping in a breath of air, I jog around the maze of chairs and slide into the back of the line of final borders. Now able to focus, I look in confusion at the departure time on the wall, realizing I inverted some numbers and my flight leaves at 7:54 and not 7:45. My mad dash to the gate? Well, it seems a little dramatic now. . .
This was just part of the hectic chaos that was my trip home from a fantastic, albeit brief weekend in Atlanta. I flew there for a conference early Saturday morning. We stayed in quite a posh hotel (Umm, hello TV in the bathroom), and overall it was a very renewing weekend. Until my flight home which was filled with delays, minor panic attacks, and the cherry on the top: me almost losing my wallet, only to have it found by my taxi driver who I initially thought might be a serial killer.
Have ya'll ever been to Atlanta? (that's right, I said y'all) I didn't get much of a chance to explore on the quick trip, but did eat at a fantastic place called The Flying Biscuit. Definitely stop there for a biscuit if you ever make it that way. They were top notch!

In entirely unrelated news. Last Monday (January 9th) my friend Larry Levi celebrated his 26th (I think?) birthday here in my fair city. As is my custom, I've waited exactly 9 days to wish him a public Happy Birthday here on KatyDidWhat. (And by that I mean, Larry demanded asked very nicely to be featured in my blog on his birthday. I agreed, and then didn't blog all last week. So here we are!). I've only known Larry for a short time, so I can't wax too poetic about him, but I can say he's pretty hilarious and always keeps me entertained. So, Larry, if you're reading this (and you darn well better be, jeez) I hope you had a glorious birthday week, and that you're 26th year is the most spectacular yet.
(and if I had a really embarrassing photo of you, it would be posted right here)
