I've been running around the house, packing, cleaning, finishing up laundry . . . doing everything I can NOT to think about that one thing that I hate to do almost more than anything in the world - get on an airplane. I'm wanting to throw up just thinking about it. I'm nervous and shaking just sitting at my computer chair! And that thing I hate to do - getting on an airplane - I'll be doing bright an early tomorrow morning!
Chicken Nugget and I took a wonderful trip to San Francisco and Utah back in the spring of '01. The night before our flight, as CN was taking her bath, she announced, "We're going to see Jesus tomorrow!"
I said, "Oh, honey, no! I love Jesus very much, but I'm not ready to see Him just yet!"
I was beside myself after that!
A friend was driving Chicken Nugget and me to SFO once. I was talking about my fear of flying, how I'd rather be doing almost anything than get on that airplane and take that long flight to Arkansas. At the time, he was driving my car. Trying to asses my fear, he asked if I was nervous with him at the wheel. I said no, that he was a very good driver.
"So," he said, "You don't trust the pilot?"
"No, it's not that," I said, "I don't trust the plane!"
So Banana and I will be entrusting ourselves to a pilot that we don't know and putting ourselves into a plane that I don't trust. Please pray for us and for my nerves! Pray that God will ease my fears!

You're in my prayers! I can't wait to see you. Call me! I'm not sure where Mandi lives...
I want to give you an "S." I feel much better now.
I am sure your flight was without problems . . . unless you flew on Delta and their customer service is horrible and they really deserved to be taken over by a real airline.
Have a ball in the big B.
What's an "S?" Should I know what one is? The flight was without problems. I'm glad to be on the ground again, though.
