Today is Friday. With great disappointment school is open, and the busses are running. It is so funny. There are people in the States that are battling floods, power outages, and repairing damages and here we are upset that the school is open. We can be so selfish sometimes.

With great excitement I am getting a new cell phone and it looks like it could not be at a more appropriate time. I have had a little Nokia phone for two years, and it has suffered tremendously. I have dropped it so many times that the screen is no longer legible. The lcd screen has leaked and when you dial you have to dial blind as you can’t see the numbers that you have inputted. And to top it off I do not know where on earth I put it. I like that it is so small, but it is too tiny as I lose it on a weekly basis. But I could not be more excited as the flip phone that I have been lusting after with the polyphonic ring tones should be shipped to me any day now. I have been waiting for my contract to come up so that I could get it. I can’t wait. Tee Hee.

My other project today is to book my flight to New York. Seestor will be visiting a friend of hers and I thought that it would be fun for me to join them. Can you believe that me, the shopper with serious addictions (I swear they wrote the Confessions of a Shopaholic series based loosely on my life) have never been to New York. Wow. So I have been trying to figure out which is the best airport to fly into. I looked on the net (Got to love it!) and found out that LaGuardia is the airport that I should fly into. It is crazy! They even gave me a approximate quote as to how much a taxi will cost. How wonderful. I am sooooo excited to go.

I am on reassignment on Saturday as my original flight has been cancelled. That means that I have to call in this evening and they can give me a flight, and I have to be available between 7am and 8am tomorrow morning. I have mixed feelings. As I will not be going back to work for months, I would like to do one final flight, but at the same time I would love to get paid and not work. Again, the matter is out of my hands.
