So, I flew home this weekend...and it was a great weekend. I left Saturday morning about 4:30am to go to the airport and arrived into Columbus, Ohio at 8:30pm flying through Seattle, Minneapolis, and Detroit...but uneventful and on time every leg of the way! So my mom met me at the curb...I was so proud of myself...I packed a backpack and a purse...no checked in luggage!! She and I drove back to Newark Ohio...my hometown of several years and discussed what we may have to eat once we were home. I told her I needed a Plaza Pizza. Once we were close to Newark I called in my order...13 inch Cheese Pizza...and was told I would wait 30 minutes and it would be ready to pick up! So...we got home, talked to dad a few minutes and then we headed out to get the pizza. It was tempting not to just start eating it once I was in the truck...but I managed to survive the 3 minutes home to get napkins and begin to eat. By the way, this pizza was $8.00. Mom and I sat and talked and ate...talked and ate. I smelled it...soooo good...almost a little bit of a cheesy saucy smell. I told mom as we ate that memories were flooding back to me...my first one, eating Plaza with my friend Holly, her mom would go and get us a pizza...we would open a couple of Pepsi BOTTLES...and drink that with the pizza while watching Friday Night Videos...my other memory would be of my friend Liz and I getting a half pepperoni pizza (for her) and half cheese (for me) along with a can of grape pop for her and can of cream soda or root beer for me....and eating it in a car...burning the roof of our mouths on the cheese. Ah...fond memories. I thought I would have difficulty eating an entire HALF of a pizza...turns out that within 5 to 10 minutes...the pizza was GONE...
