12/29/2005: "Homeward Bound"

I'm getting ready to take off for the airport and I'm feeling sad. I always hate having to leave my family and friends. I have a 4 hour drive to Omaha, then I'll spend the night at a hotel and fly out for Alaska in the am. I always get a bit stressed out at this point...having to say all my goodbyes and with a long journey ahead.

This year I got to see Micheala, my best friend from high school, as well as AnnMarie, my next door neighbor and another close friend from high school. Annie and I are a lot alike and our discussions always motivate me to dream big.

Wish me luck on my trip home, I guess an Alaskan airlines flight (the only airline that flys into Juneau) had to make an emergency landing on a flight out of Seattle a couple days ago because one of the out-sourced baggage handlers ran into the plane with a baggage truck and didn't report it so it but a foot long rip in the fusselage and the plane depressurized at altitude. Plus, there was just a fatal small plane crash at the Omaha airport today so...that doesn't ease my fear of flying at all.

Anyway, I hope I'll get back into my creative zone when I get back, though the last few weeks have been very restful. Until, I hope all of you have an incredibly fun New Year's Eve! Drink an extra shot of whatever for me!
:crazy:

Hi else,
Why is it that whenever you are home it seems like we get to talk so little...I think the tv. is to blame...I say OUT with the tv. next christmas and we actually socilaize. I hate driving 8 hours to sit in front of the tv. ya know :-( Maybe next Dec. we can have that hot tea...Wish you did not live so far away. Jen had so much fun having you teach her to draw...She drew another horse tonight that was quite wonderful ;-) Anyway, we have not heard from you and it is 10:40 pm. hope you are safe!

I know Dee Dee, but we did stay up late several times and talk, I know I watch a lot of TV when I'm home but that's what dad likes to do and I love spending time with him, ya know.

And Subi, I agree less TV, but I'm an addict, OK? I'm going to be working on my list of resolutions for tomorrow.

And back at cha Marja-leena!
