Well, I made it down to the Lone Star state in one piece, but barely. Well, that's a little extreme (but I'm known for that). I had to fly through Houston to get to Dallas/Fort Worth, which is fine, but when I got on the plane in Houston bound for Dallas, they said that Dallas was having storms and there was a "ground block" and no planes could land, so they wouldn't let us take off. We proceeded to literally sit on the runway for 2 HOURS waiting for the 'all clear' from Dallas. Eventually, we took off and made it there safely.
Now, for those that know me on a daily basis, you know that I am obsessed with seeing cars with Texas plates in Ohio - I see it as a sign of my impending move to Texas and I get very excited. So you can imagine how exciting it is for me to be down here driving a rental car with Texas plates, right? Well, the last time I was here, it was thrilling to drive a "Texas car" and I enjoyed it immensely. I was looking for the same thrill this time - especially after all the chaos with the flights. So I check in, get my luggage and take the shuttle to the rental car place. They give me a silver Ford Focus -great, everything is going well. I throw my stuff in the car and head onto the freeway toward the hotel. It wasn't until I reached the hotel and unloaded the car that I realized that I was driving a car with FLORIDA PLATES!!!!!!!! Agh! To a 'normal' person, this would be no big deal and they would move on, but for me it was horrifying! But I'll recover.......
PS - I miss my little Maggie!!!

OH MAN! WL, or RD, only you would go to your most coveted state and get a FLORIDA license plate. That is some BULLSHIT!
I'm such a spaz about things that I think are "signs" I probably would have freaked out and gone home. Seriously.
