12:40pm Alaska Airlines flight 660 To Dallas/Ft Worth, Seat 22F, Currently awaiting takeoff.
I am hungry, I ate all my peanut M&M's in the airport waiting to board. Strawberry chewing gum only last so long. In my case about 5 minutes.
Major Perk #1 I got a window seat!
Major Perk #2 The seat next to me is EMPTY!
I bought some sominex in the airport knowing full well that I will probably not sleep good tonight.
We were just informed that we are waiting for a bunch of people to board from a late flight from Alaska. I'm feeling like Major Perk #2 might be bombing.
1:00pm
Woot! Seat next to me is still empty!
I am soooo not impressed with the flight attendants on this flight. We are not even in the air yet and they seem to just be loathing the idea of flying today.
1:30pm
So I am off on a Discovery of Self Adventure, The destination you ask? Paris, Arkansas. Population 3,700. My Grandma Dooley lives there and I am going to visit for 2 weeks.
1st item on the agenda for flight #1
- Read "How to Gain Control of Your Time and Your Life" by Alan Lakein.
Somebody around me totally farted and now I am trying rather unaffectively to both not laugh and not breathe. I am sitting here gagging and giggling, I bet people think it was me. IT WASNT! ok.....back to the book now.

Hmmm...Already to chapter 5, Impressed with myself? Very much so ;)
Pat is the lady sitting 2 seats over from me in 22D. We have already discussed my travel plans, her travel plans, her kids and grandkids, my family, and now my writing. I've got a complete stranger rooting for my in my attempts to become a published author. You have no idea how GOOD THAT FEELS!
2:10pm
Tillamook cheddar, red apples, sea salt and olive oil crackers=HEAVEN. Oh and Brie......Best airplane lunch ever!
I finished reading 6 Chapters and I did all the recommended writing of lists and making priorities that it had suggested. My top three goals are....
- Become a published author
- Spend Quality time with my family
- Write about our experiences and adventures together.

Flying is a pretty amazing experience if you think about it. Where else can you see such amazing views? You can however only have your head smashed up against an airplane windowr for so long before A: It leaves a red mark on your forehead or B: You start to go crosseyed and develop a headache.....Both of which have happened to me in the last 10 minutes. I swear some of the most intellectual conversations that I have are with myself, In my head. :)
Im not even to Ft. Worth yet and I already feel a huge weight being lifted off of me........I am shocked at how well reading and writing has cleared my mind.
