What? You may ask. You have lost luggage?! Indeed I do. And here's what gets me- how can you lose a bag that looks like this:
(look at that purple, Hawaiian print bag- although the dog is absolutely adorable, he's not the point- that BRIGHT PURPLE HAWAIIAN PRINT BAG is the missing bag)
Contents: My dirty clothes. Including my $35 jeans, a $50 coat (oh, and my parents' coats too). And we believed my $200 worth of new clothes for teaching from Banana Republic (I <3>Disney-MGM Disney's Hollywood Studios for the day. Same thing, different day. But again, I enjoyed D and N's company. Also, last night, I found a pin I've been searching for of a character I've been! I was talking to some pin traders, one woman had it, so I had to buy a $15 pin to trade for this one (which was a limited edition of 500).
Today...heh. Today was amusing. When Mom and Dad went to use the bathroom after breakfast (we were in a food court type area at the Caribbean Beach Resort, where we were staying), I saw this really cute beaded frog that would be an awesome reward for my class (like, if you do really well, or I see a huge improvement, you can have the frog on your desk for 30 minutes). I buy the frog (whom is temporarily named Edison; I think I'll let my kids give the frog a name every year), have mom put it in her carry-on, since it won't fit in mine.
We get to Orlando International Airport, and are going through the security check point. Mom's bag is scanned once, and the guy brings it over to open the bag. I notify him that there is a wire, beaded frog in there. "That's not the problem" he says. So he puts it through the x-ray again. And looks at it. Has two more people look at it. Then, they swipe the bag for nitrates. Uh...do they really think my WIRE FROG is explosive? No nitrates, so they bring it back, and open it in front of my parents and me, and they discover what it was. Apparently, plastic vials with metal covers that have a heavy mass look like pipe bombs- even if they're just tubes of bath salts!
So once that was all done, we landed, grab the big suitcase, and discover that my magenta bag is lost. So here we are, I got a call from the woman at the lost luggage counter around 10:15, saying that my bag isn't here yet, but should arrive tomorrow around 2.
And now, I go to bed.
Oh yeah, and I got a good amount of my sweater done during work.

Why would they think that the bath salts you have on the tube are explosives? Unless of course if you grind it into powder then they would probably have to be concerned and since it is placed on tubes they got more suspicious. But why would you grind the salts into powder anyways :D
