Oxymoron of the day...

So I was driving along on the freeway today when an undercover cop breezes by me (cause I never speed :) ). She was in one of those new chargers, painted all black and it had the gate thing up between the front and back seats but as she passes me, I notice in her rear window that she has, are you ready for this....stuffed animals! There were some teddy bears, stuffed bunnies, a few winnie the pooh characters and though I couldn't see her face I imagined Trudy from Reno 911 behind the wheel :)

Overhead Compartments

Yesterday I flew home from Vegas and with the little bag I had, I decided to just do the 'Carry-On' route instead of checking my bag. I have to put a little side note here that I always check my bag when I am travelling alone because I always have issues storing or de-storing my bag on the plane because of my short stature but I decided it had been awhile since I last tried it so it was time again. (plus, I would have been charged for a checked bag...LAME) Getting on the plane went smoothly, no one was seated in my area yet so I was able to easily climb on the seat to put my bag in the overhead and get seated. Now the tricky part of getting off the plane in a full isle. I get out to the isle and see that my overhead bin had not been open yet and that a rather tall guy chatting on his bluetooth would get his head clunked as soon as I opened it so I said to him, can you move just a little so I don't knock you on the head and I got no response, so I tapped him on the shoulder and said the same thing but he just gave me a crusty for disturbing the bluetooth conversation so I decided to just open the bin, he had been warned...sure enough clunk...it hit him on the head. So then I grabbed my suitcase and slowly pulled it down and in the process I lost my shoe but I couldn't let go of my suitcase cause it would have toppled on me! So I was stretched holding my suitcase and trying to get my shoe back on and the people behind me kept asking what I was doing so then the red cheeks started and it was taking forever to put my shoe on but at last I did it and got my suitcase down and ran as fast as I could off the plane :)
