Airport drama

Ok, so I was supposed to fly to Utah last friday at 2:30pm. Me and Angela were having fun and we were on our way to the airport. We had run a few errands and got some nummy nummy custard. Angela looked at the time and we weren't too worried. About 10 minutes later I asked when they stopped taking luggage. Angela gasped and stepped on it. We were going 90mph. She said that J needed it in 40 minutes before take off. Well, it was 42 minutes before take off, so we start zoomin down the freeway and finally got to the airport.

We run in, can't find Delta, asked someone and we were both like 'What?' so we went back outside and started walking for a minute or 2 and found Delta. By then it was 33 minutes before take off and we ran to a desk that was empty. Then the bozo said 'Ooo, the computer won't even let me do it.' He kept repeating that then put us back in line.

7 minutes later, after someone jumped in front of us, we finally are talking to some one half decent. And when she said we couldn't get on Angela started the water works. Even though it was some what our fault, we couldn't get on the flight because I didn't have any of my Dad's contact info. I was flying as a UM.

So then we went to go pick on another guy and he was like 'Hey, I only do the baggage security.' Which he obviously was more competent than he said he was. I was just a little scared by then, partly because Angela was crying. She asked for a manager. Meanwhie, we were on the phone to Sara trying to get my Dad's info. But no one was picking up there...

The manager finally showed up while my plane was still sitting there and Angela said 'You have to put a little drama into these kinds of things so you get what you need to get.' After that I was almost giggling when Angela was crying. After a lot of drama, I got booked onto the flight the next day, same time. Which is funny because I thought I was going to leave the 28th anyway.


Now this is the frusterating part. We went back to the parking lot and went down a flight of stairs because we went up one to get into the airport. We remembered parking next to a truck, so we thought we found it. No such luck. We went searching together for 5 minutes then I stayed with the luggage and Angela went searching for it. Outside, it feels like it's 200 degrees. After about 12 minutes of the quest, I tried my Dad again. He picked up and told him everything. Then Angela came by, talked to him then went searching again.

After 30 friggin minutes, she found it. She said it was in the 'half world'. We forgot to account for an escalator that was somewhere in the middle of the airport and the stairs. Then it took us another 10 minutes for find our way out of the silly ol' parking lot.

Next day Angela left her lisence on the counter. Oops! That caused a little trouble. But I got there in the end. But then my dad didn't know where to find me so that was a pain in the neck waiting in 'Dusty's Den' for 20 minutes. Oh, and then today we were on a connecting flight to England and when we got off the plane the other one was already boading. So we did our little waddle down the hall. And Ketherine isn't there. We lost her in the hubbub at the intersection of people traffic.

We found her in the end, and our flight was deleyed for 45 minutes. So we rushed for nothing. NOTHIN! Ya know? I think I may have beat my record. My trip ot walmart, might be shorter than this. And I have jet lag too, so that's a bonus. So excuse me if some of this makes absolutely no sense at all. Nah, wal mart is longr.

Tootin' and pollutin'

The other night when Angela and I went to sleep, Angela put Ben on his bed. When she put him down, 10 seconds later he let out a very loud toot, and then another longer one. We were giggling as girls do. Ben was half asleep but he crawled back over onto the Bed me and Angela were sleeping on. He some how made his way from Angela's head, down to her feet, crawled across my legs and landed next to me with a splinter of room.

Angela was dead tired so she was asleep in 30 seconds and started to breathe heavily. Well, Ben next to me was long gone too. But he kept letting out these tremendous 'good ones' as my Dad would say. I was sniggering for quite some time.


A couple nights later we went to bed again, putting Ben in his own bed. And when me and Angela had stopped talking Angela set free a little perfect girlie toot. I was laughing and she said 'That was Ben!' And if it wasn't for the little tootin show that Ben put on 2 nights before, I wouldn't have believed her. But I would have believed her if I didn't notice a vital point and said 'I would have believed you if you didn't hold your breath right before it!'

Then a minute later she started snoring and I was saying in my head 'Oh great' because I knew it was possible for her to fall asleep that fast. But then chuckling she said 'Jus kidding!' I was like 'Phew'

Cars cars cars!

I want to get a peugeot 107 when I'm older. My Dad likes fancy cars and motorcycles but he has recently found a new hobby, nevertheless he loves to name the fancy or old fashioned that drive by. Once my little sister surprised me when she yelled out the make and model of a car that flew by. So far the only one I have remembered is an Audi TT. Unfortunately he didn't have a son. But he's content with sharing it with us every once in a while. And maybe when I have more money I will get a micra C+C!

Anyway, my mom has a good taste in cars. But she despises huge honkin' SUV's. She calls them gas guzzling road hogs. I completely agree. I like fancy cars like my Dad but some I see are WAY to OTT. Like the ones that are really low and you have to crawl into, or the ones with bulging curves that stick up at the back and front.

I like the little song that goes 'Riding along in my automobile! My baby beside me at the wheel. Cruising and playing the radio. With no particular place to go!' It plays on a radio station in England every time Johnny Walker comes on. But I (the I is emphasized) think it sounds like 'Johnny Wonker!' But that's just me. Or is it? Hmm...

Spelling

Since staying with Angela, I have noticed that she has to be careful what she says when Ben is around. When she has to say something that she doesn't want him to hear, she spells it out. Like 'I think Ben needs a n-a-p.' 'Don't tell Ben your going for a s-w-i-m,' Or stuff like 'Keep the c-a-n-d-y away from him' And to tell you the truth, I sometimes have to pause for a few seconds and try to figure out what she just said. About 15% of the time I don't know what she says. Either SHE spells it wrong, or I mis-hear it, or it's too long I can't be bothered to work it out. :-)



This is another note, but when we have ice-cream we have to cover up all the evidience that has anything to do with ice-cream. We can't mention the word around him. If we eat it, we have to throw any garbage, rinse off the spoons get it out of sight and wash your face off. And if he smells chocolate on your breath, your in trouble.

Favourite Movie lines

I've decided to make a post entirely about lines from movies. I can't think of very many on he spot but I have couple, I'll update it whenever one pops into my head or I watch a movie with funny lines. Please excuse me if the lines are not word perfect =).

Wedding singer - (this is one of Angela's favouite lines too) Guy at a party: 'So, I heard your girl dumped you at the alter.' Wedding singer: My parents also died when I was 13. You wanna bring that up too?' Guy: 'No. Why would I want to bring that up?' Wedding singer: ' I don't know.' (The way he say 'I don't know' cracks me up)

X-men- (This will only be funny if you know how much wolverine hates cyclops it's also a little rude) Scene: They have just entered a museum and they split up. They soon find out that they are not alone; they are with a shapeshifter. The shapeshifter turns into wolverine and they fight eachother. The real wolverine wins and he comes out of the room they were fighting in. The others don't know it's really him. Wolverine: 'It's me' Cyclops: 'Prove it' (Pause) Wolverine: 'Your a dick' Cyclops 'OK' and they move on. That has left me laughing for at least 5 minutes.

I want you to guess this one: 'I'm tired of you emotional constipation!' Clue: it's a movie with monkeys in it.

While I was sleeping...

Since Jay (Angela's man), has gone on a buisness trip, Angela, Sara and I have been sharing THE bed. It's a huge whopper with a tempur matress. So I just float to heaven everytime I go to sleep on it. Well, Sara isn't usually here, so Angela and I have no problems when we share the bed. It got a little crowded when Sara came in. I thought it would be fine. And it was, for me. Apparently (while I'm in heaven) I'm relaxed and a take up the whole bed.

The next day while we were having dinner Sara remembers this and starts lecturing me that when there are 3 people in the bed, the small child should not get the whole bed or be ABLE to get the whole bed. Then she demonstrated. Sara was the salad dressing, Angela was the sunglasses, and I was the sharp knife. So she layed them out on the table like so: I I I. And said 'When you share a bed with 2 other people, you are NOT supposed to sleep like this!' : III. (There was a more dramatic change of direction, it's harder to show when using italics. But you get the picure) Basically, the sharp knife was diagonally overlapping the sunglasses and salad cream

What Ben says

Answering the phone- Today Angela went out for a while and my other aunt (Sara), Ben, Avery and I were getting ready to go swimming. Sara was at the computer and her cell which was in another room (that Ben and I were in) started ringing. So she said 'Ben! Go get the phone!' So he went to get it and finally found it. He opened it up and I said 'Say "Hello!" Ben.' So after about half a second he had decided to take my advice and naturally said 'Wassup!?' I was laughing my head off.

We also finally figured out that slowtoe-ch was slowcoach. He kept handing me his armbands and saying 'Blow this up slowtoe-ch!' So it finally hit me that it was slowcoach (slowpoke). Which you don't really say a lot in America. Wonder where he got it from...

He also says 'Big Joke' (big jerk) alot. The other night, all the 'big' people of the house were up late watching TV. He comes running out wanting to go to the bathroom and asking for a potty sticker. After he went Angela was saying how he hasn't had one for 3 months and how she doesn't have any stickers anyway. So he goes off in a huff bad to his bed yelling 'Fine! Be big jokes! (3 second gap) F-Fine! Be big jokes watching TV!' Then marched back to his room. That left us laughing for a while.

This is another story about Ben but not about what he says. And it's short too. One night we were up late watching TV (again,but you can count it as quality family time too) and he runs out. Angela jumps up and gets in his pathway and was going to ask what he was doing but then he half-asleepily half-drunken-like yells 'POTTY!' So Angela runs out of the way. Afterwards she said something like 'When your 3 year old is running out of his room screaming 'Potty!', you get out of his way if you want your floor to stay clean!' Hmmm, excellent advice.

He USED to say 'paca' for popcycle and 'fuddywinks' for fire works. And last year he said 'Adios ya big jerk!'

Aunt Angela

Recently my Aunt Angela did a post completely about me! So now I'm going to do one completely about her! She has gorgeous red hair and she has the best laugh in the world. When I get out of control, genes kick in and I start going hysterical and her laugh pops out of me. Her 'scent' smells sweet and she doesn't wear a disgusting perfume that she puts on by the truck load. She wears a perfume that is so sweet, it makes you want to be near her.

Angela can always make me laugh and she gives the best hugs. I can fall asleep in her lap and I love it when se plays with my hair. She can do up your hair in minutes and you'll have the most adorable hairdo on the planet. When she got married I got in a huff because I didn't want to share her! But now she has 2 kids, I can kiss, hug and tickle them all day long (and change the occasional poopy diaper) and they will giggle and say the most adorable things.

Whenever I know I'm going to see her I get so excited. When I found out I was going to stay with her 6 weeks, I started counting the days!! I can always trust Angela to pick out the cutest outfit and the yummiest treats for when we watch movies all night long. I recently discovered frozen custard, all thanks to Angela!

She always manages to take a picture at the perfect moment. So she has plenty of perfect snapshots of my sisters and I and her kids. She is nobody's fool and she loves a good chat on the phone or on msn! Love ya!

Randomness. :-)

I'm in the mood to say whatever right now so here goes. I have a bug bite inside of the curl of my ear. How wierd is that? I think Monk is the best detective show on earth. I have been having to get up at 3:30am 5 days a week for about 3 weeks and now I don't have to!!! School's out! (I go to school on the internet during English time, and I'm in Texas. NOT a good mix. Unless your with Angela!) If any of you are wondering about my name the first part 'earth' I chose because I was born on earthday and I have an earth sign. 'Bint' means 'girl' in Arabic (a or the language they speak in Egypt, can't remember) and I was born in Egypt. So you slap 'em together and you get Earthbint. Clever. I think it is funny that both of Angela's kids found their way into my purse (at separate times) and found a gumball, then stuck it in their mouth. Ben did that twice and Avery once! But they know that I don't have anymore so they haven't been in my purse since. I think pizza, korma and chinese make my tummy a bottomless pit. I also like DONUTS!!!, rootbeer, cinnamon rolls, frozen custard and a lot of other crap that I shouldn't eat. I'm going swimming tomorrow. My Aunt (Sara) is coming over soon! I want to get the perfume Sweet pea and touch of sun. Angela has dissapeared, so I'm going to go find her now...bye!

My Trip To Walmart

I had just been sitting around the house and my Aunt Angela said she needed to go to the store, so I immediatly said 'Yes' when she asked if I wanted to go. But we had to wait for (and these were her exact words) Pooper Butt (Avery(1) to wake up from her nap. Which literally took 2 and a half minutes. So we all decided to walk. I put Avery in her stroller and then Ben (3) in his while feeding Avery a flapjack. Then Angela remembered that she needs to get the mail. She remembers seeing the key somewhere, as do I so we both stand around scratching our heads looking like monkeys trying to remember where it was we saw it. We assume Ben had got hold of it (i have learned if you don't want anything lost while your staying with small kids, you should keep it at least a meter out of climbing reach) and we keep asking him if he took it. The answer was alway 'no'. We ask him one more time and he says 'It's on the couch' and sure enough it was.

Meanwhile it started to bucket it down and I said 'Oh, it will stop raining in 2 minutes' and by the time we found the key it does. So we start strolling outside and 30 seconds later it starts pouring again. We run to the car, which is her old beat up, been-in-a-wreck-3-times car. Because her husband took the functioning car. And we piled in, then went to Walmart.

We got one of those barney carts that kids can sit in. And to play music you put a dollar into a machine thingy and off we went. My aunt had to return something so I pushed the kids around and she said to meet at customer service. Of course, I blindy go past up and end up in the toys. So I thought what the heak and was pushing them in the toy aisle. I found some 'try me' toys so I bend down and some songs are playing and they have fun with the pooh that is sitting on a turtle. Then I picked up another try me toy. I must have been a strange sight singing 'bananas in pajamas' and letting two kids squeeze an elmo-on-the-potty hand in a huge monsterous purple barney cart.

Then I walk back to the front and find customer service and of course Angela is long gone. But I found her soon after. So we go shopping. After a few minutes, Avery starts throwing a fit and wants to get out. So we let her out and Ben closes the door. As soon as she sees the door closing she screams again and wants back in. This happens about 5 times, the we put her up where the groceries go and was content with being right in front of her Mom.

I remembered that the last two times I have gone to walmart with Angela and we would get a cart, she tends to get to the one spot (in the entire gigantic store) where there is water on the floor and walks right over it and slips. But the cart catches her. That's our 'routine' that we do together during the day. But that didn't happen this time. Maybe because her kids were with us, or it was a barney cart. During the night we tend to make midnight runs for ice-cream.

One time - and this is another story, when we were walking out of walmart after we had just bought some midnight ice cream. The 'People Greeter' was either bored out of her mind or she seriously thought I was 10 (I'm 13) but she goes 'Would you like a sticker?' And I'm like 'umm' so I decided to be polite and go 'Sure!' Meanwhile behind me is Angela trying to cover up her giggle fit. I'm sure that's on her blog...

We were about half way done shopping and Avery gets bored, and starts crying as babies do when they aren't satififed with their audience, so we take her out and I follow her around. Now, before today, I didn't believe the 'I turned my back for 2 seconds and she was gone' line. But that's exactly what happened. I was standing in front of the aisle and I looked at Angela as she asked a sales assistant for help. Then I turn around again and she was gone. It was amazing because she had been walking kinda slow and she just wizzed away. She didn't go very far but she was out of my view. But then I heard her little 'Gogatowa eeeeeeee' when she points at something she likes the look of, in her little high voice. Turns out she just went behind me and walked into the aisle out of sight.

After that we were generally around the accesories and she picks up a hat that wouldn't fit me and puts it on. She walked around with it and it's so adorable cause she couldn't see a thing, and yet she still found her mama. By that time, Ben was standing on the front of the cart and Avery instantly throws the hat on the ground and attempts to climb on it too.

That was basically the end of our trip. Oh, Ben found one of those little rides and climbed in with Avery. Angela didn't have a quarter and neither did I so Angela just said 'Come out when you want' Ben was still asking for money. I said 'We don't have any money' and he said 'My Mommy does' You should have seen his face! It was like 'my mommy has money and you don't so ha!'

Then we got in the car and drove home. Angela and Ben had to go to get something from another store so I took Avery, threw on a pot of chicken and a baby einstien (i have no idea how to spell that) DVD and started writing. This is like, my second blog, the other one is about face masks 'n' stuff because I had no idea what to write. Right now Angela is attempting Chicken Makhani. Smells um, different...
