Time to Add Forgetful to the Resume

So it was bad enough that I stayed up til 2am last night putting audio books on my iPod and packing my carry on bag. Add to that the mountain of crap to finish up before leaving at work and the fact that I didn't get to the airport til 2 and my flight boards at 340. Then sprinkle a little forgetfulness and you're all set to start a 22 hr trip off right.

Naturally when I was reminded to "make sure you have everything" I went through the check list in my head. wallet? Money? Passport?! Check check and check. When I got to the ticket kiosk however and it asked for my credit card panic swept over my body. DEBIT CARD!!!!!!!!!!

In my rush to make sure I had everything else I left behind my one lifeline to everything monetary. The cash I have in my pocket wouldn't cover the whole trip. Screwed I thought. Then comes Mom to the rescue - she rushed home, grabbed it from my work pants, and rushed back. Mom always comes through in a clutch.

While I waited for Mom to come back with my precious, warped from the dryer but still working cash card I ran into a woman from the Daily News. She asked if I was scared to fly because of the monster geese attacking planes. I gave her a recount of my battle with the geese while walking to the bus from work (which was more like running screaming from a hissing goose who chased us through the parking lot) and also my name and age. Lets see if I get quoted.

For now chillin on the floor in LGA waiting for the plane to board and for my journey to Paraguay to begin.
