I'm home -

And back at work. Wait. I worked all weekend. *slaps self*

I'll be Zod for a moment, so you won't feel bad bowing before me. You'll understand in a moment.

1. We get to the airport half and hour ahead of her flight arriving. (We already know it's on time and what gate it's coming in at.)

2.) We get the perfect parking spot just at the end of the aisle, right next to the crosswalk at the terminal the flight is coming in at.

3.) We are BOTH issued security passes to meet our party at the gate. (Phone call to airline ahead of time? Only one would be issued.)

4.) And we are there when she is the last of the passengers off the flight, and the last one taken off in a wheelchair.

5.) Bow before Zod.

We also kept the fellow pushing the wheelchair through baggage claim, and then out to the car. Bonus!

She got to the house, was there long enough to leave her sunglasses there - and pronounced the house cute. (Lunch was grilled cheese and tomato soup, all good.)

Drive out to Hemet uneventful - Mom made us a perfect chicken dinner, and we then went to Moreno Valley for the grand-nephew's First Real Football Game. (He's 13 and playing midget ball. They lost 24 to 12. Oh well.)

Because the game began at 8:00 PM, we booked a room out there - and Jim decided to make good use of the trip and found time to get his glider ride in on Sunday at 11:00 (there will be pictures on Facebook soon). *checks* Damn, I didn't post this when I did it. For his Valentine's Day present, I got Jim an hour in a glider with Sailplane Enterprises in Hemet. I have to admit, this is an ongoing tete-a-tete Jim and I have. The first Valentine's Day, he got me the South Park movie on DVD. LOVED IT. Thought it was the perfect romantic giftie in the world.

The next year, I got him the Spock vs. Q radio plays on CD. He totally geeked out.

So. This year, I won. And Sunday, he went flying.

However. Super 8, while clean and nice and everything? Had beds loaned to them from the Cathedral Hill Hotel. BAH.

I got home sometime around 5 or so, got my Animal Crossing game up to date and plugged in the Sims and played out my first vacation with the new Bon Voyage expansion pack.

It's SCHWEET. Also, this pack, like others before it, appears to have addressed some database optimization and graphic issues without saying anything about it in the release notes. The game is running better, with more code in it. ALL GOOD.

But I wanted some tree time. As in, being outside under some. Which I didn't get. *pout*

In the whole scheme of things, it's small potatoes. But I'm missing me some tall conifers right now, and the ocean breezes aren't cutting it this morning.
