Copycat

So I thought I'd just follow in my sister's footsteps and join the blogger world. It seemed like a fun idea and has been harder than I thought to come up with a name, template, etc. I'll probably end up changing it quite often. I got home Saturday night from Rexburg. Longest day. Ever. My lovely roommate, Stephanie and I took the beloved Salt Lake Shuttle to the SLC airport. We got up at 6:30-ish after going to bed at 4 and hopped on around 8. I'm just glad I had her shoulder to lay on. Whew! When we got to the airport it took us forever to find the Delta check in. It wasn't until I asked the nice, bubble gum bubble blowing, Twilight reading, customer service lady with her legs propped up on the desk that we learned it was in another building! When we checked in I learned that my bag was 72 pounds. Yeah, this is what I was expecting. What I wasn't expecting was to pay 80 BUCKAROOS! It's better than the 150 dollar offer I was given at first. He said that if I could get it under 70 pounds it would only be $80. What do they do with this money anyways? I was highly annoyed.I actually wanted to cry. Maybe I should have. The Delta worker next door told me to just take it out of "daddy's bank account". Pssh! What kind of a girl do I look like? Anyways, I am just so grateful I had Steph to keep me company for three hours before my flight. There was this Romanian airport worker who parked this elderly woman he was helping next to us. He was really talkative and started to tell us that he had 48 quarters and was asking how many he needed. This was all I heard so I chimed in and using my fingers proceeded to tell him that four quarters equalled 1 dollar. He looked at me and was like "no! I know that!" I guess he was actually just wondering how many states there were because he was collecting the state quarters. I am getting so sick of flying back and forth to Rexburg, but I always meet interesting people along the way!
