Late Morning: After having three flights canceled, Supergirl camps out with computer and wireless to blog out her misery. Post-post (and kind emails and calls from friends), she meets a cutie-pie two year old and the little girl's mom. Gets to play My Little Pony, see the brand-new Valentine Barbie, and finally has an audience for the Poppy the Cat slideshow. Superman, bless his heart, sends Poppy the Cat movie clips to make Supergirl/Cat mom happier. Confusion about 1:50 P.M. flight being cancelled or not. Gets on 4:30 flight that gate crew is more certain will leave.
Lunchtime: Supergirl enjoys lunch and purchases clean socks, gum, and elastics/clips for her wayward tresses. Wonderful friends BostonErin and Melissa provide Chicago friends' contact info, should Supergirl need a place to camp other than Midway Airport. Supergirl continues to worry about flight cancellations and once again considers flying elsewhere, for the heck of it. Boston? Back to San Jose? Vegas?
After lunch: Supergirl deals with Problem Hair and shares misery with anyone who will listen. Strolls airport for fun. Discovers, via one of the women with whom she has shared her misery, who is much more well-rested and lucid, that 1:50 flight is leaving soon. Goes to check on it. Gets back on flight, miraculously, and is the LAST PERSON ON THE PLANE!
8:00 P.M.: After landing on ice in Philly, waiting for bags that did not show, and filling out baggage delivery form, Supergirl and Superman, her trusty chauffeur, drive home to Newark. The trees are covered with ice and look like they're painted silver in the light. Supergirl has never been so happy to be home.
9:30 P.M.: Leftovers for dinner, a great bottle of wine, chocolate-covered blueberries sent by SuperAunt, SuperUnCole, and Supercute Cousin, and the company of husband and cat...there is no better Valentine's Birthday!
Sending LOVE your way!
