HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

It's not the holiday until...

Oh yes! Starbucks Holiday drinks! Nothing says Christmas like a Chai Eggnog Latte! I love seeing the red cups - it just gets me all ready for the holidays. It will also add about 5 lbs thanks to all the eggnog that I will be drinking. D'oh well!

And for the next few days, when you buy one holiday drink, you get one free! Check out starbucks.com for details!

Up in the air...

Hey everyone! I know it's been forever, and I've totally sucked at updating this. I'll try to be more diligent. Promise!

Ok, so I'm back out on the road, and over my time touring and such, I've done a GOOD amount of flying. I can just pick up a suitcase and usually tell you if it's overweight or not. I check in online and I'm part of almost every frequent flyer program. I can breeze through security, having all my stuff laid out and ready to go through the scanner. And I'm usually asleep before we even take off.

Now, I understand that some people DO NOT travel as much as I do. It's these people that drive me crazy. I mean ... who doesn't know about the liquids through security thing. You can't bring water, or organic juice for your kid, or a huge bottle of shampoo, or any other ridiculous thing through. Do you really need that on the airplane? Plan on washing your hair?

Also, there's this amazing new thing called CHOOSING YOUR SEAT! If you have a quick connection, don't pick the seat that is at the back of the plane. If you are a family, pick seats that are TOGETHER - don't expect half of the plane to move seats to accommodate your family. And if it's a tiny plane, and the stewardess needs you to switch seats to balance the plane out, don't bitch. Would you rather be sitting in the front row when the plane crashes to the ground? Come on.

Speaking of - let's talk about the stewardess. I've flown a lot, but I can bet a good amount of money that she's flown WAY more than all of us. So, listen to them. They know if your bag won't fit. You need to put your bag all the way under your seat. You need to sit down and put your seat belt on. You need to turn your phone off. It's not like they are making this up just to torture you. That's what the tiny seats and overpriced food is for. They don't want you to die, and if you are ABOUT to die, they want you to live.

So, just think before the next time you get on a plane. It's not a fucking luxury cruise. Your vacation can start AFTER you get off the plane. Follow the rules. Don't be stupid. And have a pleasant flight!
