Waiting to see the eyes

Okay, so I started this blog entry yesterday as I was waiting in the airport for my flight (CLT to SAV… after hanging with Mikey & Jess for the morning). I figured I’d go ahead and finish it, even though I didn’t get very far before they started boarding the flight and I never went back and finished the entry (either on the short little flight or afterward when I finally got back home).

***********************************************************************
They just asked for volunteers for the flight. I had so much fun here with Mikey, Jess, & the kids (and it was such a pleasure meeting the famous Flip)... if I didn’t think I had already worn out my welcome, I might call you guys & say let’s hang out some more! But, I appreciate the effort you already put in for me; so no way would I ask for even more!

As I sit here in the airport awaiting the boarding for another late flight (you’ll just have to believe that that’s where I am this second since I won’t be able to post this until I get back to Statesboro later today and have a FREE web connection… well, not free, but already paid for), I’m just people-watching and enjoying the heck out of it. I am loving (as I’ve said before) the style of All the King’s Men (and no, I haven’t finished it yet), and it gets me thinking a little more creatively (well, my own version of creativity), wondering about all those people that I see walking by, sitting here in the waiting area, chatting with loved ones, etc. I find myself wondering what is on their minds and in their hearts. Are we thinking similar thoughts? Do we have anything in common?

Is that couple really happy? What is that lady listening to on her iPod (could it possibly be “Stay” like me)? Does the person that she considers her best friend KNOW that s/he’s her best friend? Does she have problems telling people that she loves them? Do those kids realize how much trouble their parents are going to to travel with them? Is that lady embarrassed by what she’s wearing? Does the woman over there know that we can all hear her conversation (even through iPod earbuds)? What will those volunteers do for the next four hours while they await the next flight out to Savannah?

Yeah, anyway, so obviously I was just rambling while awaiting the boarding process. And I was awfully “wondery” about other people’s feelings at that particular moment. I guess I just wanted to see through the ‘show-no-emotion’ façade that most travelers wear into what was really happening in that one person’s life. I guess I was just looking for one person who would meet my gaze. Weird, huh?

I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday night. I'm off to finish watching Grey's Anatomy and enjoy the rest of the last-day-of-the-weekend evening. Happy President's Day tomorrow! For those of you suffering through another blast of wintery weather, I hope everything settles into comfortable for you again soon.

And since I'm back with my photo technology, I figured I'd share one from just today. Thank goodness it's not just for me that I go to Sonic. Must also go for the boy and his ice.
