Back in Town

I have been out of town most this week in West Virginia on business. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try out some of my mobile blogging. However, the trip ended up being so busy that I never had a real chance. Between the early morning flights and the all day (and into the night) meetings, I didn't ever have the opportunity to even get more than a draft or two started and then it was on to the next business item. The trip was so busy I didn't even have any time to check on my brother - which I know makes me a terrible sister. My trip took me to several parts of West Virginia, but the majority was spent in Charleston. I had never been out there before, so it was a nice change of scenery. The weather there was just wonderful (I don't think it got above 90 degrees the whole time I was there). There were actual mountains to look at and drive around on; which is a very nice change from the flatness that is Oklahoma. The trees and grass were green and flowers were actually blooming. Since Oklahoma has been so hot and dry this summer, I had almost forgotten what a blooming flower was. I must mention that getting through security was not as much of a hassle as I had anticipated. I made sure to read all the TSA restrictions on what can go into a carry-on bag and what must be checked. However, I did forget to remove my shoes the first time through the all-mighty-gate, but the very accomodating TSA agent just sent me back through the remove the offenders and then come back.
