I went to Zumba in the morning then I took a shower and caught Trax to the airport to catch my flight to Cedar City where I would pick up my rent-a-car then drive to St. George for the conference. INSTEAD I was rushing through the airport because Trax stops at the East end of the airport and Delta flys at the West. I racewalked through the terminals AND security and I kept looking at the time along the way. My flight was at 8:20 and I got there at 8:18. When I FINALLY got to the gate the lady said the plane left and that written into my contract to fly is something about how they can bump you off the flight if you're not there 15 minutes early. I had tried so hard to get there and I just lost it and sat to the side crying. When I calmed down I asked what time the next flight to Cedar City was and she said 5pm -OH HELL NO!!! INSTEAD I asked what time they flew to St. George and it was in an hour. They let me on that flight AFTER I paid an extra $50.

I get to St. George and Enterprise who my reservation is with doesn't have any cars there. Neither does some other place at the dinky little airport. FINALLY Avis has a mini-van she'll let me drop off in Cedar City for just $40. I drive to the city, get lost several times in my minivan BUUUT still manage to go to Kmart so I can buy makeup to fix the face my crying messed up AND find the Hawaiian Poke store where I do some damage. Keli calls me and tells me he is still in Arizona. I am sad but it's o.k. - he has a family to support after all. I find my presentation after waiting in the wrong room. I see Wanda there and say hello to her but she treats me like I have the plague. REALLY???!!! Many librarians seem to treat me like I have the plague now it seems. BUUUT the people who really matter to me don't and that's all I really care about.

Well no that's not true. I want a librarian job asap.

I go to Jack-in-the-box which I haven't been to since Hawaii. I want my chicken caesar sandwich BUUUT they don't have it although they do have the oreo shake I looove. Not having Jack-in-the-box here really isn't a loss. I drive to Cedar City in Torrential rain that came from somewhere and it stops when I get there. I find the airport easily after asking people. The Cedar City airport looks EXACTLY like the one in St. George. I get back in less time than it took me to drive to Cedar City.

I went to a Bollywood party tonight my friend Cindy from my ward threw. It was very nice. BUUUT it took me forever to find her apartment. She lives in a huge complex I thought I could just walk to IN THE DAMN RAIN!!! Although I wore my jacket with the hoodie, the water went through my clothes AND my bag. Cindy tells us they tow cars from her parking lot and I should move BUUUT NOOO!!! I rested there. One of the guys went to move his car. Eventually I left because I was wet and cold and I didn't want to deal with a towed car either although I doubt with the rain anyone is towing anyone. It was actually good because I went and got my tithing AND I went to Smith's and bought some flour. I think I've perfected my pizza-making ability and it tastes better too.

The temple was fun today. I saw one of the Stevens-Henager College teachers when I worked the cloak room where the women put on socks and the men just wear their own. I also saw Sione Fehoko from my high school. He got fat. Funny, he was known for his great body and overall handsome self. I also worked name issue today as well as prayer roll. We had 30 weddings on our shift and the next one had 49. For the first time I saw chaos in the weddings. The cloak room is a madhouse with wedding guests putting on socks, finding a place to store their shoes and then guests coming back from a sealing. they need to do something there although I'm not sure exactly what. I should change out of my damp clothes. It probably doesn't help that I'm chomping on ice.
