You Might Be A Redneck IF... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 When my parents split up, my Dad didn't take it real well. He turned into a redneck bachelor.
Shortly after my Mother moved out of the house, I went to visit my Dad. I noticed all the screens were out of the windows and there were shot guns lined up next to them.
I asked him, "Dad, what is going on here?" He told me it was target practice. Do you know what a redneck uses for target practice Read more:Redneck
How I Got Into The Horse Business 1970-01-01 00:59:59 OK, I am a flight attendant, but this is not my first career. I was and still am (part time) a horse trainer and riding instructor.
I think it's an interesting story, so I thought I might like to tell it...
After High School, I went to college. All through high school I studied art very seriously. I took all kinds of classes and I was extremely passionate about art. For me the next natural Read more:Business

Why I Don't Like Soda? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yesterday I was talking to my boyfriend about how I don't like to drink soda. I really only like to drink water, Green Tea (because it's good for me not for the taste) and the occasional Red Bull. He says I'm the only person he knows that does not like soda.
When I was a kid, my parents always pushed soda on me. I hated it. My sister was given Coke in her bottle. She loved the stuff. I
My EX Best Friend 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My longest friend, Chanin, whom I loved dearly I had to cut out of my life. I had to do it because as much as I love her, she sucks the life out of me.
She always wants something from everyone and nothing is ever good enough for her. I put up with it because she is never boring.
Regardless, I spent most of my life with her as my friend, so many of my stories need to include her.
I bought
The Lengths Chanin Will Go To For Attention 1970-01-01 00:59:59 When Chanin and I were still friends, we went out to the club. At the time I was living in Hawaii, and I had come home for a visit.
I was downstairs by the pool tables while Chanin was upstairs dancing. I had a crowd of about 10 people around me because I told one person I lived in Hawaii, and then they were telling everyone else. Everyone was asking me questions, and I was having fun
I'm Friendly, But Not Saev Ho'alohaloha (friendly) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I walked into the mini market yesterday and I didn't immeadiately say hello to the cashiers.
I don't know them, I just like to say hello to people. My best friend in the whole world Saev, she would have walked in there shining like the sun saying hello to everyone.
Saev, whos real name is Saevelyn Pesamino-Kumukoa is just an amazing person. She was born seven pounds eleven ounces so her
Delayed Posts Because Of My 2006 Resolutions 1970-01-01 00:59:59 2005 has rapidly ended, I took stock of why and how I did things.
My Main Resolutions
for 2006:
1.To continue to get things that bother me out of my head and onto my blog. My little tiny way to try and make this world a better place.
2.To focus on what I want to stop doing instead of only what I need to start to do.
3.To work less, and enjoy my life more.
4.To stop post-poning my engagement
Remembering 9/11/01 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today being the fifth anniversary of September 11, I am glad I have the day off.
Being a flight attendant, I am not afraid of terrorists, but there is an uneasy feeling that would be in the back of my mind if I were to be in the air today.
I have walked through Newark Airport's Terminal A with a flight attendant who stood with me in the exact spot where five years ago he watched the smoke from Read more:Remembering
Parents Just Don't Understand 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I went to a football game over the weekend. If I see a bunch of girls doing cartwheels, of course I have to go do some too. That always gets me a crowd. Considering I haven't done gymnastics in about a year I went a bit far with some front handspring's, so I'm kind of limping today but that's another story.
I met a bunch of kids running around the game and they started asking me to teach them Read more:Parents

A Long Strange Trip 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I just got back from a four day trip. It felt more like ten days, but that was because of the long days not because of the crew. This was my first time with an all male crew.
I was kind of wondering how this was going to go with me being the only female.
Our crew was motley. The crew members go a bit like this:
The Captain, I didn't meet him until the third leg on the first day, meaning Read more:Strange
When You're Home Alone Watching UFO's In Illinois... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I don't really believe in UFO's but, you don't have to believe in something for it to exist. I'm not saying they exist, I'm just saying.
With that said, one day I was at the mall. I met this man in his 50's. We got to talking for a little while. At first, I couldn't stop looking at him. I wasn't trying to be rude, I just never saw anyone who looked like him.
He was about 6'6" tall, an Read more:Watching

Note To Self: Don't Leave House With Laryngitis 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A few summers ago, I went to Musikfest with Chanin. Musikfest, is a giant music festival that takes over downtown Bethlehem for about ten days. You can listen to just about any kind of music, and the food is not bad either.
This particular time, I didn't want to go. I had laryngitis. I could not speak one word, not even a whisper. Chanin and I both know how to spell in sign language, so she Read more:House

I'm Only Serious About Safety and Security 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yesterday was a hideously long day. It started when I checked in at at the duty desk at 7:45 in the morning, and I wasn't finished until late that night.
Days like that, I'm thankful I'm not one of those flight attendants that work alone.
A first class passenger got out of his seat when we were taxing, because he wanted to use the bathroom. Me, I would say to him, I need you to take your seat Read more:Safety
My Pets Act Like Animals 1970-01-01 00:59:59 You know those stories about how animals alert humans to danger? All the stories you hear about amazing things that dogs and cats can do to help humans.
Not mine. This morning, I was watching television, and I hear something that sounds like water running. I mute the television, and realize it's the dog and cat wrestling around playing.
I think nothing of it and go back to watching my Read more:Animals
Not it! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I guess I'm not the marrying type. I'm not one of those women who dreams about the house with the white picket fence. I don't even want that. I think I'd be more content to live in a warehouse. I like my space.
I really thought I was among the minority of women until I went to my cousins wedding. Traditionally when a bride gets married, at the reception she blindly throws her bouquet out to
Airport Appreciation 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yesterday, I had to sit at the airport, waiting to be assigned a trip. I was hoping they wouldn't call me. Actually I was praying. I wanted the weekend off. Everytime the phone rang, I held my breath hoping that my name wasn't called.
After three hours, about fifteen of the twenty flight attendants waiting were called out, Florida, Ireland, Paris, Tel Aviv, any other time, it could have been
Life's Fantastic, When You're Plastic 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was doing my airport appreciation again, and with who else but that ridiculious flight attendant I met last week. Ridiculious is a good way...
We found out we have something in common. Both of our Mothers have had so much plastic surgery! We kept laughing saying, "My Mother had this done", then the other person would say, "So did mine!" And we would laugh and laugh.

Note to Self: 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So I'm on my way to Phoenix last night, and the turbulence is out of control. A customer who refused to sit down after repeated announcements falls flat on her face on the way to the restroom. Don't say I didn't tell ya.
So here I am sick from turbulence, and we are in between services. I know in five minutes I have to take the beverage cart out again so I'm stuffing my face full of Chicken
Table For One 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I've been gone for awhile. I have been working a lot and loving it. I have been all over the country, and never had any time to blog about it!
I was in Las Vegas for a few days, and I got to see BODIES...The Exhibition it is incredible! Bodies are preserved with a special technique that allows us a peek inside real bodies. They pose them, and cut them exposing the inner workings of the Read more:Table
The Spirit Of Halloween, Bar Brawl Style 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This is my 200th post on this blog, so I thought "Why not make it my most embarrassing story to date?".
I no longer celebrate Halloween
. It's nothin' but trouble. I think it's evil, and here's part of the reason why.
It was Halloween 2002. I had to work. At that time I was working for an Internet Tour Company in Hawaii. I had to work until 10:00 that night, and everyone from work was Read more:Brawl

How I Ended Up In Hawaii 1970-01-01 00:59:59 For some reason, I had a crush on Chanin's boyfriend (now her ex boyfriend) Willy.
I wasn't in love with him, or going to try and steal him away from her, he was just the perfect type of guy for me.
He's the best cook, cleans, has a good job, is a great dresser, and homeboy can dance. Chanin always told me Willy would vacuum her house in his underwear and I thought that wasn't too bad either Read more:Hawaii
Thank You For Being A Friend 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Right now I am in San Juan, the only working that I am doing is on my tan. I am taking a break from blogging while on vacation, but I wanted to drop this quick post before I forgot the details.
I was so excited to meet Rue McClanahan on Sunday. You know the slut from the Golden Girls?
I was on the plane, doing my best Tina Turner impression, and I think she caught me singing and dancing. Read more:Thank
Celebrities, Burgers, and Ears On My 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Sometimes, when I unwind, it's difficult to wind back up again! Last week was really great. I had so much happen in a short time.
I started out in Puerto Rico, and ended up in LA. I had Robert Downy Jr. on my flight to Los Angeles, he looks exactly the same in person. Some of the other flight attendants said he was dressed like a slob, but I thought he looked cute with his little paper Read more:Celebrities

The Story Continues... Hawaii Circa 2000 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Once I got to Hawaii
, I was immeadiately happy. That place is so beautiful. Not to mention, 6000 miles away from the stalker.
I had decided that because I was alone, I should stay at a youth hostel. That way I could meet lots of people. My plan worked.
The first day in Waikiki, I went to breakfast and met a couple of dudes from Seattle and a girl from Quebec Canada, and they invited me on Read more:Circa
The Mod Squad 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was on this beautiful three day trip. It was awesome. My crew was cool. We were like The Mod Squad
. One blonde girl, one Russian dude, and me. We bonded like glue and would walk through the airport terminals all in a line next to each other with our roller bags.
We were out at our West Coast base, which shall remain nameless. We are East Coast based, and the two bases think they're
Bucks and Chooks 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I am so surprised that it has been so long since I've updated my blog. It feels like it's only been one week, when in fact, it's been a few.
Because it is our busy season, I have been flying almost non stop. The best place I've been since I've last blogged is Jamaica. I always wanted to go there, and now I finally have.
It wasn't exactly what I pictured, but it was beautiful anyway. After
It Wasn't Such A Bad Christmas 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Being low on the seniority totem pole, I was stuck working Christmas
. By having some seniority, I did get off most of Christmas Eve, and I didn't have to check in until 1445 on Christmas. Fredi and I made Christmas dinner real early and we got to eat our Christmas Brunch before I left for the airport.
It was just going to be a simple Fort Myers turn. Fly 118 people down there, pick up 47 and
One Ghetto Candle 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I haven't been able to blog because of my work schedule. I have been working so much! I cannot complain, because I will like my next paycheck.
However, I didn't even have time to put up my Christmas tree. I have collected Christmas ornaments from the 1920's to the 1960's, and now I have quite an extensive collection. Next year, I will put up a tree. This year, it just didn't happen.

Caution! Wet Floor. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I check my schedule and I see Caracas, Venezuela. That would be cool and all to go there but, its a turn. My flight leaves at midnight and returns the next day at noon!
I will fly all night, drop off passengers, pick up more and fly back. Kind of rough, but I was well rested.
As I went outside to head to the airport, I noticed it was raining, HARD!
I'm thinking turbulence and delays. I had to Read more:Caution

Dregs Of Society 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Usually, I always like to see the positives in a situation. Usually. Lately I am seeing the negatives. I'm thinking I have to point them out, so I can move on to being positive again.
I've had more dreams of my death this month, than I've ever had in my life. I was hanged in my dreams just days after Saddam Hussein was hanged in real life.
Quite a few young boys are now dead throughout Read more:Society
