Denver Diaries Part 1

First, let me say that I am finally getting my rear in gear and downloading images to iPhoto as I write this because I gave up trying to find the manual or the cords to translate the sound. I will just not erase those particular movies from my camera until I figure it out. Thankfully it only took me one week to figure out that I could save those movies for later. My genius knows no bounds...eventually. First I would like to point out that Beth and I have maintained the "five minute fight" where we do not communicate well about meeting time and both make assumptions that are inaccurate and spend the first five minutes we see each other arguing about who was the most wrong until we realize that we missed each other and isn't it great to see you! I assumed she would have either Chris or Dan with her who own cellular telephones. She assumed she could give me direction over the phone and I would pay any attention at all after she mentioned that someone would have a cell phone who would be with her in the car. Add on to that my assumption that the Denver airport, though it looks like a circus tent, functioned similarly to the Minneapolis airport. It took us one hour to find each other because niether boy was with her, she did not have my cell phone number with her and I cannot remember things told to me during a telephone conversation. I called Footy, who gave me the number for Chris. I called Chris and demanded his whereabouts. Obviously he's at home and this crazy person is yelling at him and hanging up abruptly. Then I abandon Saire at the east pick up and try to find the baggage claim where we would have picked up our baggage had we checked any (see Saire - checking baggage = good. Also it makes Lori look less stupid and maybe stops her from talking in the third person. Maybe.). So I find Beth and yell at her while shaking my cell phone in the air "You need to get one of these!" I think she may have told me I should be less stupid. So Chris calls during the five minute argument and tells me Beth called him and she's in the baggage claim to which I yell "I found her and we're fighting! Ok bye!" Obviously I sound totally sane. Thankfully it only lasted five minutes and then we were just happy to see each other. When Beth called Chris later I told her to tell him I'm actually nice and if he thought I was crazy sounding, then he should have seen her (ok, the part after "and...." I totally made up, but it would have been sweet if I had actually said it at the time. When Chris came later he was wearing a t-shirt that said "DIA something" which stands for: "Denver International Airport and I can't remember what else it said." It was awesome. I'll write more later, but first sleep. Ok bye!
