Snapshot :

Start: 6:30 pm End 4:00 am

Quiet night, small blessing, fun conversations, made about $200.

Tonight's plan was a typical Thursday night airport drives with a TCU game thrown in.  I didn't make it back to Fort Worth to work any of the game, but I took the rides left behind by those that did. 

• Really nothing too interesting in first few rides.  My first ride to the airport was fun.  He was British and I just loved hearing him have a conversation with his daughter on the phone.  He lives here now in Chicago.  We also had a great conversation about different parts of America, but the cool part was his English LOL. 
• Few more airport runs.  I picked up Ms. Ellie she was a hoot.  Her family has ended up being half here and half in Chicago.  She lives in Chicago.  Her cousins entered her in a contest at 6 Flags this weekend where she basically has to lay in coffin for 30 hours.  There are breaks but that is basically it.  She made the top 6, if she wins then she gets the coffin and $600.  Her cousins want the coffin to make a sled, her Meme it wants to save some money in the near future !!!  She finds it all hysterical as the reason she won was her cousins put on the application that one of her hobbies was laying around doing nothing.  Sounds like some of my crazy cousins.  We had a great conversation on her ride to Dallas about this and other stuff.  Good Luck Ellie! 
• I had a few more rides then a stop at my one of my favorite QTs on Mockingbird in Dallas.  {yes one of my least favorite is on Mockingbird too LOL} I just needed gas and the potty.  I started the gas then ran in before the other need was an issue.  There is usually at least one homeless there of varying sobriety.  One tonight stopped me in my tracks - he asked for .60 cents and I totally heard him ask for something else.  EEK! So I told him I have no money and moved on.  I'm on the potty when God decides to intervene stating it's not like me to brush off the homeless like that.  I told God I really don't have cash tonight.  His answer was that I have my wallet.  I look over and I did bring in my wallet.  Normally I don't if I'm just going to the restroom.  But there it was.  Ok God what does he need?  Dinner.  Anything special?  (I was a bit sassy tonight)  A hot dog, chips and drink will do.  So I got this guy his dinner and took it to him.  But he was in a darker part of the lot so I didn't stay long.  God didn't say anything else so I guess I'm good for the moment. 
• I had a few more rides for the night but nothing else stands out.  

Side note I haven't driven all week due to be so tired from last weekend.  And I'm not driving this weekend as we are going camping.  I will probably blog on the camping.  :)
