2009 almost Done

Hard to believe that 2009 is almost over. I'm glad it is and have no hopes for next year. Maybe if I just take 2010 for what it is then it will go better than 2008 and 2009. At least that is my secret hope. Well I guess it's not so secret now. :)

Christmas in Virginia!

Merry belated Christmas to all! Yesterday at work was hectic. We had to play the game of catch up all day long! We landed in Dulles and I was happy as could be not only cause we were done for the day but cause I was home again. Virginia more now since I left feels like home and to a degree always has. I miss it tons! My friend Lee and his girfriend picked me up from the airport and we went around dropping off gift bags I brought with me at people's homes like I did when I lived there. Then this morning I met up with some people at IHOP for breakfast before I headed back off to work. I was so sad to leave and it broke my heart. But over all I had a good holiday. I opened most of gifts Wednesday when I had the day off. I brought my stocking with me and opened it at the hotel yesterday morning. All in all I can't complain. Hope Christmas was enjoyable for all!

All going to be There

The one friend we were waiting to here from has comfirmed! So they're all going to be there!

So Excited

Yesterday my friend Lee texted me saying that all but one of our friends that I've asked him to contact for me are in for breakfast the day after Christmas! We're waiting to hear from the one person. But nonetheless I'm excited to see all my Virginia friends!

East and South

This week at work I get to go several places I haven't been since I left Dulles! Like right now I'm in Charleston South Carolina! Though I hate the hotel bed. It's the same hotel I was in when I came here from Dulles. Sleep Number beds stink. I very much don't like them. Tomorrow I go to Nashville TN and Greensboro NC. I haven't been to either of them since I left Dulles either! I'm so excited. Granted I'm not in any of the places very long, but still I sort of feel like I'm out of Dulles again and it's exciting.

Four Years

Well it was four years ago today that I was hired as a flight attendant. Man these four years have gone by so fast. Though there may be somethings I wish were different in my life (like being married. :) ) I wouldn't change the last four years for anything.
I love being a flight attendant and hope to do it for a while longer yet. I'm not readying to give up flying. I love what I do.
In the last four years I've grown alot and become more of my own person and learned to leave my shell a bit. It's funny to think that when I first started alot of people I know jaws hit the floor when they found out that I was a flight attendant. Yet if you ask some of my coworkers and passengers they'll tell you their jaws hit the floor to find out how shy I was growing up.
Then again I'm more outgoing at work then when I'm not. But I guess there are some things that don't totally change. But then again I'm more outgoing out of work than I used to be.
I've learned more about life and myself in the last four years and met incredible people that have impacted my life for the better good forever. I've been able to see and go places I'd never been able to if I was doing what I am now. And because of the experinces I've been able to have I've learned to be happier, healthier, and better all around.
So here is to four years and how many more to come!

Seeing Stars

Last night during a over night in Orange County I rented a car and the flight attendant I was working with and I went down to Hollywood Blvd and walked along the Walk of Fame. It was fun and I enjoyed it.















The first picture is just having fun. But I saw many more stars than these ones.

Merry Christmas Early

I found out that I have an over night in Dulles Christmas Day! Bummer I have to work Christmas but at least I'm going to be in a totally kick butt place and I'm so excited!

Service Carts

Last night at work these were our two service carts. The gray one (the bottom one) is US Airways cart that we use in Phoenix and Charlotte. The blue one (the top one) is the United cart that we use in Dulles and Chicago. So when I saw the blue on the US Airway plane I very voically stated my claim to use it. It made me homesick for Dulles.
Don't get me wrong I like and enjoy Phoenix I just loved Dulles so much and still do I miss it like crazy.

Weekend in Oregon

I hadn't been home in six months and I had a three day weekend so I figured it was about time I went up to Oregon to visit the fam. I did and I enjoyed. Though I love living on my own and having my freedoom it's nice to go home every now and then.

Snoring

I have to be up in four hours for work. This is not going to be fun. Anyway I can hear either my FO or CA in the other room of this hotel snoring to his heart's delight. Then again it probably doesn't help that I'm still on the computer as well.

Photo Fun

Check it Out

Gimp

It's a computer program kind of like photo shop. These are the after the toying around. The photos were taken by me.

New Phone

So yesterday right after I got through security at the Memphis Airport I discovered that I was missing my phone. I think I left it at the hotel. I've never done that. I've been working now for four years next month and that's the first time I've done that. Anyway so right after work I went to the store and got a new one. It's the same number as my old number just a new phone. My mom wants to see what it looks like so here are a couple pictures.

See what I mean

...TROUBLE!

Memphis Trouble

Everytime I'm in Memphis there is a threat of me being in trouble. Last night the girl I'm working with told me that she had never been to Graceland so I told her that I would go with her. So today if we end up going will be my fifth time. Man I got problems. Though truth be told Im so excited. It's my fifth time yet I'm giddy like it was my first. I'm a dork I know, but what are you going to do. I love Elvis there's no other way around it. And I blame it on my parents. While we were driving to Arizona from Virginia last year they are the ones who wanted to go to Graceland, not me. Well we went and I got hooked. I jumped in head first into the deep end and there is now no way out. But I don't care, Im proud to be an Elvis fan!

Shoe Mania!

First off I love shoes! It started about four years ago. So while cleaning my room tonight I decided to count my shoes and it turns out that I have 58 pairs! Talk about shoe mania! And I wear all of them (not at once though :) ). Like I said I love shoes, there's no way about it.

School

This morning I got a phone call from an art school in San Fransico.

Utah

This weekend I went up to Utah for a couple days. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed it. Pictures are to come when I get home. I'm at the airport right now.
Update: I'm home now and here are the pictures. Enjoy!

Air Balloons

I'm back home. As promised here are some pictures from my weekend.












And next weekend...Utah here I come!

Trying to get Home

Again I'll put pictures when I get them on the computer. But this weekend I went up to Reno to see my friends the Bodes. Right now I'm in Vegas trying to get home. I've been on standby this 12:30 and it keeps getting worse for me to try to fly stand by. So I bought a ticket. So this way I know for sure I'll get home and won't be in trouble at work. I have to be back at work tomorrow so.

Oh Canada

Well tonight is my very first time in Calgary and my very first Canadian over night for work.

New Car

Yesterday my dad came down to help me get a new car. With as many problems as I had been having with my car my parents and I decided it was time for a new one. It's not a brand new on the market car but a new to me. It's a 2004 Kia Rio. I got it today. Man that process took forever but I enjoy the car.

Break In

Tonight when I got home from work I found a note from the police notifying me that there was a break in. I've never been broken into before so I'm a bit freaked out. I'm okay physically sice Iwasn't here at the time. But I'm a little shook up.

Graceland

4th Time

I'll post pictures once I get them uploaded tomorrow hopefully, but this morning I went to Graceland...again. Yes I know I'd been three times before but I love it there and I love Elvis and personally I don't care what others think!

I'm 25

So yesterday I turned 25. I'm so OLD! :) But I had a good birthday. I'll write more when I get a chance.

A Wonderful Life

Many times when I was young I thought life would be better without a me.
How much happier all would seem to be.
But now as I’ve grown I’ve seen that isn’t really so.
Cause I’ve found a wonderful life in which when I was young I didn’t know.
A wonderful life where many dreams have come true.
A wonderful life I wouldn’t known had I not found a way through.
When I was young many things I couldn’t see.
I now know that life is so much better if there’s a me.
So many things I’ve gotten to see and do.
All because of a wonderful life that is always so true.
True with friendships and love.
True in this wonderful life a gift from above.
Many times when I was young I thought life would be better without a me.
Now I see such a wonderful life I have yet to be.

If I only Said

It’s been a year since I last saw you.
And I do miss you and love you the rest of my life through.
A lot has changed within that year.
I wish I could have seen then what I now see so clear.
If I could have so much I would have said.
But I guess it’s too late now that you’re dead.
If only I said all you mean to me.
Then maybe this emptiness would set me free.
If only I said what a gift you are.
Then maybe now you wouldn’t feel so far.
If only I said what was in my heart.
Then maybe I would have loved you more from the very start.
It’s been a year since I said my goodbye.
Now all alone I sit here and cry.
I wish I could have seen just what you mean to me.
Then maybe all this anger and fear wouldn’t be.
If only I said I love you one last time.
This might be an easier climb.
If I only had taken the chance to say all I should have said.
But now it’s too late now that you’re dead.

Delays

Aren't plane delays fun? Okay just kidding. I'll tell you they are no picnic for the crew either. We're in the dark about what is going on almost as much as the passengers are. We sit around doing not much. In fact I'm on a delay right now and so I decided to blog about delays. I tried to take a nap but it's really hard when you're sitting on a plane not knowing what's going on or how long it will be. And we don't get paid for sitting here doing nothing. Also don't ask the flight attendant what's going on cause most of the time (in my experience) we're the last to know. Don't get me wrong I love being a flight attendant and love my job. But just keep in mind the next time you're at the airport waiting the crew is just as miserable as you are. So please take it easy on us!

Haircut

Today I decided to get my hair cut. It's funny a couple years I go I would have never thought I would like my hair shoter. But I do. This time it's a little shorter than normal and thought it would be but I still like it.
