Dennis....GO AWAY

So my life has been absolutely crazy the last few days. At the last minute our free flight to Houston was cancelled because of Hurrican Dennis. So we had to buy a ticket to Houston the day we were to leave....not cheap. THe engine light came on to the plane as we were boarding...so we had to wait forever to get on and were one of the last flights out before they closed the Birmingham airport. Then we get to Houston and get pretty rough news about my health. The disease is back, and stronger than before. I have to come off the meds I am on right now for a month and then start a stronger chemo. I have to come back to Houston and stay two full weeks and then come back once a month. Then because of the weather, they cancelled our return flight and so we had to buy another one way ticket. So we are flying out in a couple hours. All the while I am clawing my skin off because of these CHIGGERS!

We rode the metro rail last night and sat in front of the two most ignorant people I have ever seen. I cuold only make out about 25% of the the ladies' words but here is what I learned:
1. Woman A has been married for 8 years. 6 of those years, she lived with him. The last two they separated and just date. She "her man and he got his bitch. i call if I need him"
2. Woman B cannot remember the name of her baby daddy. His first name is Johnny and his last name starts with an M. She tried to visit him in prison but it would take her 4 days to go through all of the Ms in the prison to see which one he is.
3. Woman A is a grandmother. She woke up at 5:00 this morning. Prefers to use the F word in every sentence and likes to repeat the Spanish intructions after hearing it over the intercom....everytime...at every stop...and this becomes funnier and funnier to her and Woman B.
4. Woman B is highly entertained by her "Spanish" speaking friend. And wonders what it is that they are saying in Spanish even though each phrase is spoken in English first. She also found a use for the phrase "my baby daddy baby momma." In case you didn't follow that means her exboyfriend's new girlfriend.

I hope there are equally entertaining passengers aboard Flight 111 to Birmingham in 2 hours.

Courtney Struble gave me chiggers

That's right. As I sit here typing I am itching from head to toe. I stopped counting at 75. Everyone who went to Courtney's 4th of July party is covered. I had so much fun in Memphis. Had dry ribs for the first time at Rendezvous. Fun times on Beale Street. Then back to Nashville for a party then a night downtown on a party bus. So much fun. Now I am in Gadsden, flying out to Houston on Sunday.
