I'm having a blast here in NoHo so far.  Getting here was kind of a bitch -- I did not sleep at all on the first flight, then on my second flight, I fell asleep in my seat as soon as I got on board.  But that only lasted a few minutes, because the FA had to get my verbal acknowledgement for understanding of the exit row responsibilities, for which she shook me awake.  I was able to nap for about two hours when I got to Jess' house, but then the rest of the day was on the go.  I did a shopping tour of NoHo with some of Jess' NM friends, where we happened to run into two girls who were decorating a Just Married car for their friend.  We asked them where they got the paint, and they said that if we'd help them with their car, that we could have their leftover supplies when we were finished.  Done!  What serendipity!

The bachelorette party last night was super funsies.  We all got into PJ's and listened to pop music and shared funny stories.  We were gonna watch a movie, but that didn't happen, because we were just enjoying hanging out.  And there were cookies.  Then right after Jess announced that she was ready to turn in for the night, "Don't Stop Believin'" came on Pandora, and we had an impromptu singalong.  That was really fantastic.  

Just as I was getting into bed, I got the dreaded phone call from United.  Due to hurricane Sandy preemptive overreactions precautions, my 5am flight out of BDL on Monday has been canceled.  I was able to reschedule at no charge for a flight 12 hours later, but here's the thing -- the storm isn't supposed to get here until Monday afternoon/evening.  It seems MUCH less likely that a 5pm flight will make it out than a 5am flight.  So I'm mentally prepared (though in no way physically...I only brought one change of clothes with me) to be stuck here for a few extra days.  If so, I'll survive, but I'm a little stressed about the ramifications.  I've already had to cancel an appointment with my trainer, I have no workout gear here (and I HATE missing workouts, 'cause that stresses me out hardcore), we're supposed to be out of our apartment by Wednesday and I'm supposed to help Z with that, and I have plans on Tuesday for pumpkin carving with my little sister-in-law, and I'll be really bummed if we have to cancel that.  And then if I'm stuck here very long, I miss work, etc...

But now that I've aired my concerns, I am going to forget about them for the rest of the day, because one of my best friends is getting married and I'm here to celebrate that.
