It's after midnight...

which is pretty much my normal time to blog but it has been a long day of flying but I feel a responsibility to my blog readers, especially since I didn't have anything up last night! I'm still upset about that, LOL. Today I flew from Atlanta to Seattle. Shouldn't be a big deal. I had an hour and a half layover in Houston but other then that, no big whoop! I should have known better! The flight from Atlanta was awesome, there was no one next to me, we left on time and I slept for a little bit, not a lot but that was ok, I wanted to sleep on my longer leg.

We got into Houston a little early so I actually had 2 hours before my flight so I stopped to eat at a restaurant and have a drink also. It's ridiculous that my drink cost almost as much as my dinner but I figured if I had a drink I would sleep better on the plane. Plus, the drink was really good. I can't remember what it was called but basically it was half a hurricane and half a margarita, and it was delicious except for the fact that it froze my throat, LOL. I had grabbed Kimberly Dean's High School Reunion to read for my flight, it was a light fun read with lots of hot parts which I enjoyed. The problem was, it was a fast read and I finished it! I have 80 books waiting for me at home, 5 books in my suitcase and I'm stuck without a book to read! Thank goodness for my Ipod. About the time I'm getting antsy and wondering why they haven't loaded us they announce the fact that we don't have a plane because of mechanical reasons. I'm ok, with not flying on a plane that has mechanical issues but I'm not ok with waiting another 2 hours for a plane! They said it would be an hour before our replacement came in, it was 2! So I walked over to Borders. I absolutely do not need another book, BUT, the new Lisa Kleypas is out and I have to have that book and I didn't score it last week so I went to Borders and their paltry romance section and they did not have it! How can they not? It was just released a week or two ago and she's a big name author! I was bummed! I refused to buy any other books because I don't need them so I was stuck with just my ipod since for some reason I couldn't get online. I wouldn't have paid for online for an hour and a half layover, I would have paid for 4 hours!

Since my buzz was long gone I went to the bar to kill some time with a very dirty martini (why did Sherrilyn Kenyon laugh when I ordered my martini extra dirty at dinner? I wonder, LOL.) It was perfect. After calling my friend to moan and whine I finally headed downstairs to await my plane. Finally it gets there and we board. So I do what I always do when I get on a plane and try to go to sleep as fast as possible. The more I sleep, the faster we get there. The problem, we were ready to go but the plane was not. Apparently they were loading on mail. Now I am a fan of the USPS, I use it all of the time but I don't want to be sitting on the tarmac for another hour while they load it! Yep! That is what they did to us and since we were sooo delayed they offered free headphones, whoop-de-do! Anyway, I slept before we even took off which means I spent most of the flight awake, it was horrible! I didn't want to watch Failure to Launch, I wanted to watch the back of my eyelids!

And what's with them being so anal about things on the flight? I had my ipod off for takeoff but I had the ipod in the pocket in front of me and the earpiece around my neck but they didn't want the cable running across so I had to take the earpiece off. Cause if we got in an accident that was what was going to kill me? I say, if people don't want to put their seatbelts on they shouldn't. If I get into a car accident a seat belt can save my life. If I go crashing to the ground or explode in midair, they're not going to say, if only she wore her seatbelt. That's all I'm saying!

So 4 hours after I was supposed to get in I finally landed! I'm happy to be almost home! I am in Seattle I have to head to Portland on Thursday. I figure I could spend one day with my family before I move cross country, LOL. OK, so I wanted the free meal, sue me!
