Chicago

Lisa and her friend Sherry flew to Chicago this weekend to visit Whitney. And to go shopping. And to go sightseeing. And mainly to the show Wicked. And see Whitney. Since this will be Lisa's first time flying without me and Sherry said she hasn't flown for years I figured I would grace them with the wisdom of my years.

They were both excited and nervous for the trip so I warped into "knight in shining armor" mode to help them through the ticketing/security/boarding process. When we got to the airport I went directly to the ticketing kiosk and started to explain how to get your own boarding pass. As one who works in customer service I knew that using the machine would be easier. Lisa with great patience, love, and her sweet smile completely ignored me and went directly to the counter and 60 seconds later came back with her ticket. Ok that was easier.

Next came the security process. I assured them that only shoes, purse, liquids, suitcase need to be inspected- that's it.
Jewelry? Nah no problem. I have never had a problem with my jewelry (wedding ring.)
Shoes, purse, liquids, suitcase just put them on the conveyor belt and breeze through the metal detector. Lisa had a bracelet that took two trips through the metal detector and Sherry had a bracelet and earrings that took three tries. Oops

Next step was boarding the airplane. I think both Lisa and Sherry were thankful to be through security and on their own finally. That way I can't "help" them to the plane and they end up in Utah.

Sherry and Lisa made it to Chicago in spite of my help

This leaves me, Mr. Bachelor, home alone for the weekend. I plan on watching too much TV and eating too much........which isn't a whole lot different from my normal weekend. Maybe I'll even stay up past 11 - that's living on the wild side.
