Dude, I really can find a silver lining in anything

So, this is what my cellphone voicemail message currently says:

"Hi, this is Allison. Leave me a message. Oh, and here's a very important piece of advice: Never fly Air France. They will lose your luggage and then they will steal from it."

The silver lining? I'm glad it was the French who screwed me over, so at least I can still look on the Italians with fondness.

Oh Ali!! I feel your pain...as I've had lost luggage before...twice...but never for this long! I can't imagine how you can stand it! Have you declared yourself a shopping trip yet? ~Melissa

I'm waiting till I come visit you in a few weeks. That's when my best shopping always gets done.

Can someone come visit me in Texas? Anyone in the Stombaugh/Mehall family want to come visit? I can find lots of shopping places!

I would love to visit, but it's going to be a while before I can get back on an airplane without erupting into rage. Rage that would only get me kicked off the plane in a terrible spectacle that would appear on the evening news with people interviewing the other passengers as they dragged me off in the background screaming about how Air France is evil!

But if anyone in my family does take Ms. Amanda up on her offer, be sure she takes you to the Kolache Factory. Mmmmm, kolaches... the opposite of evil.

But Allison... I have all the stores you need to purchase anything that you would want while you are here (including Kolaches... lots of them, especially the potato, egg and cheese ones).... just jump on a plane with a carry-on that includes a book or 2, your ipod and charger, your cell phone and charger, your camera and charger and your credit cards... I have (or can easily get you) anything else you will need - including a toothbrush!
