New Year's Celebration and Fiesta Bowl!

I enjoy flying Southwest. I like that they give you peanuts and free soft drinks. On long flights you even get to choose from the snack pack. I like that you choose your seat once you get on the plane. There are direct flights to Dallas and Phoenix so I can see my friends in those cities relatively easily. I do have a slight annoyance with Southwest though; the last four times I've flown on Southwest, my departing flight has been delayed with an average of around 3 hours. I'm a pretty easy going person and haven't been too bothered by the delays. Mostly it gives me an excuse to read for a long stretch of time without much interruption. My flight on Thursday was delayed about 3 hours; the waiting wasn't so bad (I was reading The Help and I recommend it) but I missed quality time with the Magnificent Seven minus Susan. Despite the shortened time, I had a good time ringing in the new year--and was in a make-shift bed on the couch by 12:30 :) My kind of NYE celebration! A delicious brunch at Cafe Brazil topped things off nicely, then I was passed off to Amy. We had a Friday night, dinner and 2 movies, just like old times. All in all, it was a great trip to the Big D.
After spending one night at home on the Rock, I was off to the airport and another flight delay again. Sadly I missed out on seeing Katelin and Alexis completely. I stayed at Shey and Mandy's place for two nights and saw them for about 2 1/2 minutes total. I did get to hang out with Jordan, Chris, and Blake, which was great. The Fiesta Bowl was a lot of fun; the only thing that would have made it better would have been for TCU to win. Oh well, maybe next year.
