LUGGAGE!! ARGH!!!

As some of you know, I have taken a little trip! I am currently visiting my sister who is due to have her first baby shortly...she says while I am here, the doctor's say in a couple weeks; we shall see.
Just wanted to vent about my lack of luggage....
Upon arrival at the airport yesterday morning, I was told to pack in my checked baggage all things containing liquid (e.g. toothpaste, shampoo, etc.). So after waiting an insane amount of time to check my baggage, saying a really quick goodbye to the family, and butting in line at security (where they went through my purse and threw out my lipsyl!!), I made it on the flight. We were late leaving and I had to run to catch my connecting flight in Toronto....boy was I glad I was flying by myself and not with 4 kids!
So I arrive in BC and watch as the luggage comes around; the whole time I'm saying to Tracy and Dave, "I really had a short connection in Toronto, I hope my luggage makes it".
So you guessed it....no luggage. Fortunately I am at my sister's who is about the same size as me (normally) but who no longer uses her "normal" clothes as she is 8 months pregnant! Not as big as a house though! Shawn asked if she was as big as a house and I said no, he said "a small bungalow" and I replied, "No, more like a mini-home". She was very thankful for my comment as she feels "big as a house". Of course, I am comparing her to my twice- twin-full belly, so my perception may be a little off.
Anyhow, all this to say, "Thanks alot security!! (I actually do thank them but I am now venting) I better get my luggage back!"
My scrapbooks are in there! Not to mention the playpen I was bringing out for the new baby!
Luggage!! ARGH!!!
