Story Time

Ooh I have an airplane story!  It has finally happened to me after seven years, I have been asked for sex.  I know such an accomplishment.  Actually the experience left me feeling rather dirty. The guy was really forward and I suspect he had gifts that "kept on giving." He wasn't bad looking and I'm not sure why he got it in his head that I was available and willing.  It was a little pathetic when he started to grab my hand and kiss it. 

I guess what shocked me was after the subtle flash of my ring (I scratched my nose in front of him with my ring finger) and I flat out said no I will not go into the bathroom with you.  I came back down and his seat mate asked if I wouldn't take a chance on him.  The guy said yeah, "Can I spend the night with you?"  I said, "No I married."  Silly me thinking this is a sufficient reason to end the conversation.  He said, "So no one would have to know," his seat mate nodded. I looked at him oddly and said, "I would."  I guess I am naïve and live in some super moral universe because I was simply aghast by his comment.  He then proceeded to try to "win" me over with telling me I had a nice ass (which I did laugh at and told him I would accept that compliment since I am self conscious of it).  He thought that was encouragement enough to then tell me that he wanted to put his head in my lap and... I don't know since I don't think I wanted to hear and the engines were loud and he was being quiet on purpose.  I told him no I didn't want his head in my lap. He then said he wanted to be the last passenger so that he could grab my butt on the way out. 

When we landed, I was banging on the cockpit door for my pilots (at this point I was a little worried as he wasn't taking any of my nos) to come out and stand by me.  Now my pilots weren't burly or particular scaring looking, but they were witnesses and that was all I needed.  Luckily he didn't come off last and he didn't say anything to me, but my captain could tell which one he was.  Just because I'm your "Eye Candy" doesn't me that you are mine and I want you.

I think I did my random act of kindness, but it had weird strings attached, so I may have to report another.  My brother called me up last night heming and hawing for a favor.  I was a little irritated because I wanted him to get to the point.  He was nervous I would say no and didn't want to be a bother, blah blah blah.  Now I don't have the greatest relationship with him because I expect more than he can give and he likes to push us (his family) away.  Mostly I think he wouldn't have done it, so I think he assumed I wouldn't.

The favor was to go to a clothing store and buy a jacket (apparently only four left in the US).  I asked him why didn't they just ask them to ship it to his store.  They were suppose to and never did, so he wanted me to go to the store and check to see if it was there and buy it.  I called had them put it on hold so I could get it after work (he could have done this, bought it, and shipped it I don't what happened).  Of course the mall it was at has the most awful traffic normally, but when I have time to go there it is during heavy traffic that makes you want to slit your wrists.  It took TWO hours! I hate that. When I get off work, I am out of there is 30 seconds flat and home in less than twenty. It felt ridiculous and I should have just said no because it didn't make me feel good for my brother to try and butter me up for this.  I am sad he doesn't get that I would do it because I am his sister whether we talk or not.  The traffic was seriously awful and I'm still ornery from it.  So the fact that I had a bad attitude doing this act of kindness, I still did it spectacularly as I yelled at them for the botch in Dallas and got them to two day ship for free to his house.

New Year, New Me?

Well, I would have to say that I failed terribly with my New Years resolutions last year.  But hey, I did improve on my eating lunch habits, but not so much on blogging more. 

Just as a run down and a miss for December.  I canceled Christmas because I had to work Christmas Eve (which is what I love to have off-I usually like to work Christmas).  I did put up a tree, but didn't really do much else.  I did really like buying my in laws Christmas because we got the best presents for the kids (they said so) and we did it on one Saturday without leaving our home. Then Daniel got a super awesome bonus, so we were able to get a Surface tablet.  I love it.  I was unsure at first, but I am totally on board with it. 

I've been thinking about my new resolutions this year.  Some that I actually care about so that I will do them ie inviting some over for dinner resolution.  I went through five or six, but the ones that have stuck are do two random acts of kindness a month.  I have already done one.  I helped this mother with newborn twins traveling by herself get from one gate to another (she was a hot mess I don't know how she was doing that by herself before she got to my plane). So one down, one to go.  Nothing has hit my fancy yet, but lets see.

Next resolution will be walking more.  Daniel and I started walking every night I was home in mid-January last year until about March.  It was to help with his weight and I found out it really helped with my stress.  We stopped because I let him talk me into not doing it one night and then it went down hill after that.  Since we've moved we now are behind the Chattahoochee River, so on Sundays we have been going for some walks (mostly to clear my head as this winter has been hard on me).  It's nice to walk next to the river and have a few hike like trails.  I think this walking thing could really take off and be enjoyable.  I know exercise enjoyable it is such a novelty for me.
