I GOT TO THE AIRPORT AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY HASSLE UNTIL I SET THE ALARMS OFF & I HAD TO BE SEARCHED BY A HOTTIE, BUT WHAT KINDA HASSLE IS THAT. I ALSO WASN'T ALLOWED TO BRING THE COLOGNE I GOT ROY FOR HIS B-DAY ON THE PLANE BUT I WAS ALLOWED TO HAVE T GIVEN TO MY MOM.
I PARTED WAYS WITH MY MOM & JOE AND WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE WE WERE SCHEDULED TO TAKE FLIGHT. THEY TOLD US 15 MINUTES BEFORE TIME THAT WE WOULD BE ON DELAY TIL 4:30 DUE TO MECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES. I GOT NERVOUS. YOU SEE I HAVE 3 BIG FEARS: PLANES (SINCE I WAS 3), FIRE (AGAIN SINCE I WAS 3) AND WATER (YOU GUESSED IT SINCE I WAS 3). IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ON THAT PLANE I'M SCREWED WITH ALL MY FEARS!
4:15 WE STEP ON BOARD. I'M ALL ALONE, MY LEFT SIDE OF THE MOUTH IS KILLING ME, BOTH ON TOP & BOTTOM & I'M A LIL' SHAKY. I SIT DOWN AND CONVINCE MYSELF TO RELAX. OH HOW NICE I HEAR MUSIC... WOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE THEME SONG TO SIX FEET UN...... OH SHIT THIS IS THE THEME SONG !!!!!! RIGHT THEN AND THERE I CALLED MY SISTER WHO WAS AT WORK. SHE'S 10X MORE AFRAID OF PLANES THAN ME AND PROBABLY WILL NEVER GET ON A PLANE. I TELL HER, WHILE I'M CRYING (BUT I DON'T THINK SHE NOTICED), WHAT WAS BEING PLAYED. SHE TOLD ME "IF I WAS WITH YOU YOU KNOW WE WOULD BE GETTING THE HELL OFF THAT PLANE, RIGHT!? SO TRUE!
NOT LONG AFTER A WOMAN SITS NEXT TO ME. A LIL WHILE BEFORE TAKE OFF I ASKED HER A QUESTION, WHICH I FORGOT WHAT I ASKED HER AND I LET HER KNOW IT WAS MY FIRST TIME FLYING, I STARTED TO SHED A LIL BIT OF TEARS AGAIN. THIS WOMAN HELD MY HAND THRU IT ALL! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL! BEFORE I TALKED WITH HER ANOTHER LADY ASKED HER WHAT HER SEAT # WAS AND WHEN SHE TOLD HER THE LADY LET HER KNOW SHE WAS IN THE WRONG SEAT, BUT THANKFULLY LET HER STAY THERE!
TURNS OUT SHE'S A MAKE-UP ARTIST NAMED LISA FROM SF BUT CAME TO LIVE IN NYC, SHE HAS CHILDREN AND MOVED WHEN THEY GOT OLDER. SHE'S AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WITH GREY DREADS AND SO BEAUTIFUL, KINDA REMINDED ME OF AN EX. WE TALKED THE WHOLE FLIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING! SHE'S A SCORPIO WHICH IS COOL , A FELLOW WATER SIGN. I GAVE HER THE # OF MY ACUPUNCTURIST & MY #. HOPEFULLY WE WILL STAY IN TOUCH. SHE WAS TAKING 2 FLIGHTS AND HAD TO RUN FOR THE 2ND FLIGHT WHEN OUR PLANE LANDED TO GO TO JACKSONVILLE MISSISSIPPI, OH FUN!
BTW THERE WAS A REALLY FUNNY MOMENT WHEN SHE ASKED ME IF I REQUESTED A SEAT BY THE WINDOW. I SAID YEA, IF I'M GONNA EXPERIENCE GOING ON A PLANE I WANT THE FULL EFFECT. SHE TOLD ME EVEN THOUGH SHE TRAVELS ONCE A WEEK SHE HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER TAKE A WINDOW SEAT B/C THAT TOO MUCH FOR HER TO HANDLE. MY REPLY? "WELL NOW THAT I'M EXPERIENCED WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE SEATS, I'LL HOLD YOUR HAND?" WE BOTH LAUGHED. NOW I ONLY HOPE MY SECOND FLIGHT IS JUST AS COMFORTABLE!A LIL WHILE BEFORE WE LANDED I TOOK SOME PHOTOS BUT THE WINDOW WAS KINDA DIRTY, AND I THINK I WOULD'VE BEEN EVEN MORE RELAXED IF I WAS ABLE TO DRINK BUT THOSE ANTIBIOTICS HAS DISABLED THAT, WELL UNTIL TOMORROW NITE THAT IS ;)
I'LL POST MORE ABOUT MY STAY IN ANOTHER POST.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND
XOXOXO
