The Woodlands Biotch

i thought she was kidding. seriously. the ticketing area was completely deserted, so at first i didn’t know if she was kidding, or if i should just kiss my a$$ goodbye because there was apparent imminent danger. we dropped off the rental car and arrived at the check-in counter at LAX at 5:40. the departure [...]

so after much delay, we arrived. once we got past the air-travel debacle, everything was perfect. more than perfect, really. the weather, beautiful. the drive, gorgeous. the hotels, wonderful. the mountains – cool, the air – crisp.

we’ve charted a 1,000 mile trek over a six-day period. we started in the mountains in [...]

some things you should know about air travel. no matter how cool you think it is, no matter how normal you assume you can make it, no matter how much it’s just a hollow metal tube with wings on it… it’s completely unpredictable.
it all started with the outbound flight. apparently, when there are scattered storms [...]

i’m leavin’ on a jet plane…
chaos is sure to ensue. i’ve been planning this vacay for the better part of two months now. it’s been publicized and talked about that whole time. and then, inexplicibly, today, the boss has decided that maybe we need a temp to cover me while i’m out.

i don’t get it. a year ago, where i work seemed like such a happy family kind of place to be. we all really liked each other, we all got along. but this past year, i dunno… a lot has happened. the dynamic has changed. and never has that been more obvious than today. because [...]

boyfriend and i went out to eat. which we haven’t been doing too much lately, as we’re saving up for the great adventure that’s coming soon. but when we go, we typically pick someplace around here and hope for the best. there are a lot of choices in the woodlands… and there are a lot of [...]

ever get the feeling you’re being too depended upon? like maybe if you just dropped your hands to your sides, everything you’re juggling would come crashing down and the disappointment that would surely follow would be more crushing than anything else you had hovering over your head in the first place?
at work, it’s my job [...]

don’t do the thing that you know will only result in bad things happening. now – to tell this story holds, for me, the slightest element of risk. because on the off chance that the person whom it is about were to read it, she would of course know exactly who it was about, which [...]

it’s like a period, only – it’s not. once a month, i go through hell. sometimes, the hell only lasts a few days, like, oh, three. sometimes, though, like this month it takes seven long, long, painful days.
for those of you who have similar jobs, you might be familiar with what i’m talking about… it’s [...]
