Did you ever do anything so stupid that you wanted to tear out your own brain and smear it down a wall? That is how I felt today. I will explain.

My trip to Minneapolis was uneventful, but I did learn two important things:

1) American Airlines really does have more legroom throughout their economy class than any other airline.

2) St. Louis is in Missouri. (Who knew?)

Governor Body did not greet me at the airport with a pot of steeping green tea, but I forgave him, given my eagerness to reunite with my boyfriend, who has been here since last week. My hideous stupidity was revealed at said reunion. Although I had made a special trip into Manhattan on Tuesday to pick up an important prescription for Rob, I had packed it in a bag I did not remember to bring with me.

After recovering from my tears of frustration, I made an emergency call to Tiffany, who is rectifying the situation as I type this. Thank goodness for her and FedEx and Rob's forgiving nature, or our hostess would be scrubbing brains out of the woodwork.

I also forgot my toothpaste.
