So you would think that after my Friday travel day disaster that my weekend would be wrecked…. not so. I had a fabulous weekend.
I usually do not plan anything on the weekends that are directly after my work travel trips, largely because I do not know what I’m going to need to do (work, run errands, etc..). This weekend, everything I did was impromptu, and it was fabulous.
On Friday, as most of you know, I missed my flight home and spent the day in Atlanta and Milwaukee. I did not get home until 1am on Saturday. The entire day at the airports sucked, big time. It definitely ranks up there as one of the worst travel days ever. I was so hung over …. could not get comfortable, and when I finally found a place to sleep, didn’t feel safe enough to actually fall asleep. I was absolutely exhausted when I got home…
My girlfriend FreeBird stayed at my house and watched the little ladies (cats). She obviously took great care of them because they were indifferent to my return. I love FreeBird. When I woke up on Saturday, she and I hung out, caught up, and enjoyed a bit of time together. Then just like FreeBird, she was off to enjoy the weekend with friends and family.
On Saturday, I cleaned up my room and organized my closet. FreeBird has helped me update my wardrobe… and I couldn’t be more pleased. FreeBird is so put together, so stylish… so cool. She has now made me look fabulous and cool… She has totally set me up to meet the higher caliber men I want to meet (and feel super confident that I look awesome when I’m out!!!).
Saturday night, GFP came over, I fed him some of my chicken parmesan, we watched a few episodes of Curb Your
Enthusiasm after smoking a bowl… It was so mellow and fun.
On Sunday, I had lunch with a very good friend of mine and her son, My favorite 4-year-old in CA EVER! Her name is Spicy, and her little man’s name is Little Flirt. He is just darling, and loves his Paula! Spicy is giving birth to a daughter in a week, a week!! She is the coolest chick ever… I can’t wait to see her again, Little Flirt, and the new little lady!
After lunch, I ran a few errands and went to visit C-Licious. I haven’t seen her in 2 weeks AND she and her dog are sick. I stopped by to see if I could help and to offer my help with Zeke, Black Magic/Sausage…. he loves me .. I love him. We had a great get-together, caught up on the goings-on over the last couple of weeks. Oh, and she turned on the BBQ and cooked two packages of chicken mango sausages for me (its one of my addictions, but she supports it). Gotta love a gal who can operate a BBQ.
Now I’m home, blogging about my great weekend, deciding if I should take the time to fill out a “complimentary membership” to a local, “exclusive”, dating service… Apparently there are men in the area that are looking for a woman just like me – Fun and Fabulous (older, no kids, with a career, and still attractive). I’ll keep you updated on this activity…
Paula's Ponderings 
Hi Paula,
it does sound like a great detox from the dreaded missed flight/multi airport misshap.
It seems to me you have a lot more carefree fun when you dont go by your list of planned activities.
The comments on airport people had me rolling. Maybe Harold on your dating show (abuse of a good name) was loolking fopr one of the women in the skin skin tight tube dresses you described. If he had known that all he needed to do was hang out at the Atlanta airport he could have been spared the public ridicule he will face.
Another dationg web sight? I am not qualified to comment. Good luck on what ever path you choose.
be well H. S.
