Guess what? From 3/13 to 3/17 I'm flying to Georgia to visit my Dad. My parents are making my drive to the airport. There are two airports in Houston (well, two major commercial ones anyway) and one of them is huge and farther from our house. But the one I'm flying out of is small and closer to our house.
It is also in the not-very-safe part of town. And the "I'm wholly unfamiliar with this area" part of town. Which is saying a lot because I'm pretty familiar with most parts of the city. If you turned me loose and told me to find something a fair amount away I could do it. Except there, where the airport is.
My mom is usually so angsty about letting me drive in Houston and so annoying and naggy about it.
And then I tell her "I'm not comfortable driving to the airport" and she's all "well you can go all these other places, suck it up!"
My mom's not a "suck it up" kind of person when it comes to me driving in city traffic. This is annoying.
Anyway, so as long as I actually make it to the airport without getting mugged, lost, or my car breaking down, I'll be going to Georgia. YAY!
Ooh! And next Sunday I'm going to see "The Importance of Being Earnest" onstage and we have fourth row tickets!
Also I'm making bowtie pasta with tomato sauce, and spinach and french bread for dinner. Yay for me cooking!
