Dallas...trouble

Well gee....I can't even get out of the United States without losing luggage. I already was having major qualms about leaving the island (b/c hey it's an island) but upon arrival in Dallas, only one of my suitcases arrived. The giant brown rolling suitcase (which now seems to have a proclivity for losing itself) was not there. This is incidently the same case that was sent to South Korea last summer when it was supposed to arrive with me in Beijing. Tsk tsk. I am seriously considering this to be a message from a higher power that the brown suitcase is not to go with me to China.

The airlines has really been less than than competent in helping me get my bag back. Alex, the electronic voice for the USAirways lost baggage line and I are pretty tight right now. I called him about 20 times yesterday and in all his automated glory he did not tell me where my bag was. Finally I got to talking to a real person (though I have a sneaking suspicion that USAirways outsources their tech services calls to people in India (but that is neither here nor there) and finally this fella tells me that my bag is coming in from Philadelphia on a 9pm flight....so darnit it better be here today, b/c I don't have any shirts and I desperately need underwear.

I went to the dentist today....I abhor the dentist. Actually going to the dentist is fine so long as they don't take pictures of the teeth. That's when they always find a cavity for me. They weren't going to take pictures yesterday, but stupid me said that I was leaving for China for a year and wouldn't be gettting my teeth cleaned for a year, so welp they snapped the photos and guess what...I've got to go back today and get a cavity filled. Boooooo....hisss....

In other news, I might be on Walmart's watch-list for nutty people. I bought a gajillion kinds of medicine today for China and I think the lady thought I was going to peddle them to people. Then I explained I was moving to China....so I think now she just assumes I'm a pathological liar, because hey...who would want to move to China. Well lady...I WANT TO. So there.
