LIVE from SEATTLE it's Friday!

Hello everyone. So sorry to have not posted for a bit. It was a crazy week trying to clear my desk at work and then getting set to take off for Seattle and Whimsy! And while I will have the trip in photos for you come next week--I'm making no promises--I wanted to let the lovely internets know that I had not forgotten about you...and also, to give you all some travel tips.

Flying Brings out the Worst in Everyone--Including ME:
  • When you are flying, remember to BATHE before you board the plane. With soap. And use deodorant. Your fellow passengers, don't want to smell you. For 4.5 hours. 30,000 feet over Montana. And yes, I'm talking to you seat 24D.
  • If you are going to be sarcastic to the point of being CRUEL and MEAN--keep it to yourself when you're in an enclosed tube, otherwise known as an Airplane. Seat 27F, I mean you. The flight attendants didn't do anything mean to you, so don't be mean to them.
  • If you're going to insist on NOT paying attention to what's going on in the cabin around you, keep your complaints to yourself when you then don't know what's going on. 26 A and B I mean both of you.
  • Man in 25F--I don't need to know the whole story of your soon-to-be-ex-wife and hearing it just makes me sad. Please don't make the pregnant girl sitting near you sad.
  • To most passengers in general: You do not need to pack your entire life into your carry-on baggage, ce n'est pas necessaire! In fact, you're being incredibly selfish and slowing everyone else down. Check your bag and bring a book. That's all you need.
  • If you're flying COACH. And there's someone sitting behind you. PLEASE DON'T PUT YOUR SEAT BACK. Don't even be tempted. It's utterly selfish and arrogant. Why should you deserve to be any more comfortable than anyone else?
And that was the flight in a nutshell. I managed to survive it. I hate flying as you all know--it makes me think of death, and in very unpleasant ways, but it's done with until Monday so I will be Scarlet and not think about that now, I'll think about that tomorrow.

As for today, there is much fun planned by the Lovely Whimsy! There will be henna and pedicures and shopping! And as for the rest, we'll see.

So what are you all doing this weekend?

I don't even know why they ALLOW the seats to go back. I really don't. All is does is set off a chain reaction in which everyone on the plane ends up putting theirs back to accomodate the one asshole.

I agree with you on all the flying points except for the seat back. I cannot WAIT to put my seat back on a flight... and the people behind me can just put theirs back, too. Sorry. :)
