People Watching

People are entertaining. It's as simple as that. Yesterday I was sitting in Sunday School when the girl teaching the class explained that she was a theater major. She proceeded to tell us that she loves to people watch because that is how she comes up with characters she plays. She said if you see me staring at you I'm not judging you I just like the way do (insert mannerism here).

Here are my thought about this....


1. People watching is fun
2. Everybody does it
3. We're all unique so I may find you weird but really your just different from me
4. Don't be self conscious of people watching you, embrace your uniqueness

As I sit here in the Denver Airport waiting for my flight I have discovered many interesting people. All of which seem to be staring at everyone else thinking the same thing.

We're all wondering why that mother feels the need to breast feed in front of all of us. At the very least you could go over to the corner seat.

Or the loud obnoxious teenagers who we wondering if we were really like when we were their age.

And how 'bout the old lady who has no idea what is going on. She gets in everyone's way and takes forever getting on and off the plain. Sure we all feel bad for her. But no one wants to be behind her in line.

My personal favorite is business guy. This is the guy in the suite is always on the cell phone making some sort of loud business call. Oh not to mention the general rule of one carry-on does not apply to him. Even a briefcase and a role-on does not suffice. He feels the need to have the role-on, the briefcase, the garment bag (because whatever trip he is on the suit he is wearing is not enough, so he brings a spare), and if he's anything like the guy at the security gate he has two laptops so that requires yet another bag.

The one nice thing about business guy, although he takes up a lot of room, he will either sit quietly in his sit and not talk to you or he will engage in a semi-pleasant conversation. Mostly likely to show you how cool his business is.

My favorite travelers young adults traveling alone. I know I'm getting married, but they keep to themselves and unless it's a high maintenance girl they travel fairly light.

All in all I have to say that I like flying. Even with a two hour layover I can thoroughly enjoy myself all these crazy people.

And one last story of note.
As I was passing through security this morning, I was very blatantly hit on. I handed the security guy my boarding pass and ID. He said I'm sorry...long pause...we don't let the pretty ones through. AWKWARD! I was surrounded by previously mentioned business guys. When this statement was said all of the them turned to make an assessment of security guys opinion.

Oh and cute guy next to me laughed at my joke. Old guy asked him to watch his bag while he went to the bathroom. I said to cute guy hopefully it doesn't blow up on you. YAY for laughing at not funny jokes. Probably shouldn't talk to cute guy any more. I am getting married in 4 days!!


4 DAYS!!!!

CD's a dying art

So not only are we getting married but we don't have a place to live until after we come back from all the festivities, which means we have to move everything.

The other night I was helping Lincoln pack all of his stuff (which compared to mine is very minimal). Anyway I was adding his DVD collection to mine. I keep them in a large CD case. They are all alphabetized so this is quite the process. As I began to work on this project I noticed that most of Lincoln's films are foreign. And most of those are Indian.

I half serious half joking said that we are going to need a whole new case for foreign films. I think he might have been slightly offended. He went off about not appreciating a good movie. And I baited him a little further teasing him about all his movies.

After a good disagreement we decided to keep the foreign films with the rest of the DVD's. But they have their own section in the very back!

This is just the beginning of merging two lives together. Oh what fun lies ahead!

Oh and the other thing. We both have yet to upload our CD's to my computer. So we have a stack of those too. I don't even know the last time I bought one. They do still make them right.


ONE WEEK!

Trincoln

Lincoln didn't like Tracey 'n' Lincoln for the blog title. He thinks Trincoln is more appropriate. It's the first opinion he's had about the blog so I guess I'll indulge him.

Trin.coln [Treen-kun]
- Noun
The combination of the names Tracey and Lincoln

Apology

I just found a stack of Thank You notes from my showers that I thought I had already sent out. I guess I missed them with all the chaos of sending the invitations. I apologize for not sending them sooner. They are on their way!

10 things I'm going to love about being married...

...or at least I think I'll love.

1. Not having to go home at night or having Lincoln go home.

2. Opening up my laptop and seeing one of the following...
*ESPN Main page
*Fantasy sports scores
*The White Sox
*The Buffalo Sabres
*The Buffalo Bills
It sounds lame but I like looking at all the sports stuff and then talking about it with him...

3. Learning new words. Lincoln always uses words that I don't know.

4. Having someone else to cook for me again. Yes he does cook more than I do.

5. Being able to go to be earlier. Since he doesn't have to go home there's no reason to stay up late.

6. Bacon! He knows I love bacon and just buys it for me!

7. The trash being emptied. Hannah and Kim can vouch for this one. He is always taking out the garbage.

8. Reading good books. We've read one book together (Lost Symbols-Dan Brown) I hope there's many more to come.

9. Not having to worry about dating!

10. Being able to play sports with him. And on occasion beat him at something.


Cheesy post I know. Sorry. Just excited. Only 2 more weeks!
