Flight 212 has landed

I hate flying. It hasn't always been this way. I have been flying since I was 3 years old. Passport to prove it. I used to love flying. Thought it was fun. Loved all of that stuff, paragliding off the side of mountains, zip lines, snowboarding, you name it. Now, I can't stand it. Flying is the worst. Supposedly you spend a 1/3 of your life in bed. I think I spend a 1/3 of my life on planes. Had I known that I would spend that much time flying around in a tin can...ugh. It is not glamorous. It is not fun, especially these days of so called high security. What can possibly happen to me and my ID and boarding pass in a 10 foot radius in which I am moving like cattle through a X-Ray checkpoint that I should need to show my "papers" 5 times?!!! Can someone explain to me how that makes me safer? The liquid ban is annoying right now. My trips these days are quick overnights and I now have to check luggage. I know the airlines are making money hand over fist on the all the extra luggage checked. I do wonder if the sock business has taken off as everyone must remove their shoes now. I'm just ticked off and dehydrated from not being able to bring a drink on the plane. And you don't want to chug down a drink prior to your flight because you can't get up for the first 30 minutes of the flight and you can't get up for the last 30 minutes of the flight. "If she stands up, we'll all stand up...it'll be anarchy"! (you get bonus points if you know that quote).

Progress report on cursing: It's going better than I expected and it's not even my birthday yet so it doesn't really count. (For the few who may not be aware, you have 2 more shopping days until Friday, September 22nd). I still tend to curse quite a bit around those that I am comfortable with, but I'm not sure I really like alternate curse words, such as Jeez Louise, Frap, Frigging...I feel like an idiot when I say those. There was this guy I used to work with that said "Jeepers". I found it really amusing that this grown man would use the word "Jeepers". Although you always knew it was something awful if he really cursed. My goal is to figure out a way to not use expletives at all. Gosh Darn It!
