So the Lovely Liz and I headed down to FL to visit the wonderful
masdoc and
diadem8 and their adorable daughters. We both had a great time and Liz is now firm friends with two of my oldest and dearest friends, which is awesome. Plus, there are now more pictures of Liz and I together (on facebook), which can only be a good thing, since Liz's loveliness distracts from my dumpiness.
I have to give mad props though for a funny thing on the flight back. We had an early afternoon flight so I got a coffee as my on-flight drink, while Liz had a diet coke. The coffee was nice, but when I finished, I was still thirsty, so I asked for a coke, but "no hurry." Flight attendant came by again about 20 minutes later, so I reminded her. She acknowledged me, and headed off. No coke. After 20 more minutes, we'd already started final descent, so I gave it up as a bad job. When I got off the plane, I thanked everyone, like you do, and standing right at the door holding up a coke was the flight attendant. I thanked her profusely and we both laughed.
