An interesting plane ride...


So yesterday as I was riding on the plane we had an unexpected surprise...The plane ride was going just fine and I was excited and anxious to get home. It seemed about the time that we should be landing when the captain announced that we did not have enough gas to make it to Houston and we would have to stop in Austin to fill up! Oh boy....just great. Apparently we had to fly around a big storm which took up the rest of the gas. So we stopped in Austin and they turned the air conditioning off on the plane...probably not a good idea when your in Texas! The plane starting to get sweltering hot and there was a buzzing going around among the passengers. A group of men gathered around to chat when one announced "Hey, we should play name that tune!" Then a gay man whispered under his breath that the other man needed to sit his fat butt down. (I wrote it in nicer terms). All the while, I was quite amused and entertained by the antics of the passengers! I made friends with the boy next to me who was going to Florida and chatted with him. After about an hour we were on our way back to Houston. We got in about 2 hours late, so I felt bad for those people with connecting flights. I was welcomed by the wonderful humidity...the kind that just makes you feel like you've just stepped out of the shower. I'm still adjusting to it, but on the bright side my skin will be nice and moisturized :). Claudia, my stepmom, met me at the airport and brought me home to await a lovely meal of Chinese..yummm. Me and Chris had lofty plans this morning to get up and go running, but instead got up and went to a doughnut shop. And I've been relaxing ever since! It's so good to be home!

That is hilarious. Ran out of gas? That makes me a little nervous. Don't commercial jets have like back up tank. Craziness. ;) Well, we are glad you made it back to us safely! ;) -Emily H

BTW- I love the doughnut shop idea much better than the running idea too!
