Home Again…
I’m home again. This time for the infamous bachelorette party and wedding I’ve spoke of previously. However, since my last update, things have changed. One. I’m still doing the party BUT no stripper(s). Collectively, the bridesmaids are not exactly “feelin” the bride right now. Too make a long story short, two of the girl’s have given the bride the name, “Bride-zilla.” So…that just gives you an idea of what we’re dealing with. With the exception of one, each of the bridesmaids are flying in from out of state.
Nobody wants to invest anymore money into this wedding because they feel the bride is unappreciative and far from accomadating. With that being said, we’ve decided that we are not going to put anymore into it than the bare minimum. I’m just giving you all a brief synopsis right now. However, I do plan on doing a recap of this wedding weekend. To include the planning…cancellations and all that jazz. *sigh* Drama!
On another note, is it just me or is anybody else terrified when they fly these days? I don’t know what it is. I mean I know I had a lot of anxiety these past few days. I had weapons qualifications yesterday. So I was understandably nervous about that. Um…making sure I have everything that I need for this trip. Yeah. Yeah. Then there was the anxiety I had about flying. It happens to me every time I get ready to fly. I mean, from the time I book the flight until we take off and land. Sista girl is nervous pervous. Seriously. I was on the plane listening to folks talk to their loved ones on the plane via cell phone prior to take off. “I love you baby. I love you. I love you.” For some reason, I was getting irritated by them saying that. LOL I guess I was thinking about how when something tragic happens, people always say, “The last time I talked to them….blah, blah, blah…. he/she told me how much they loved me OR I had just spoken to them….blah, blah, blah…” Ok. So maybe I have issues. Forget I said any of that. *shaking head*
But seriously, that’s part of the reason why I often choose to drive to my destinations instead of flying. Because I’m more in “control.” I guess…. I really don’t know. I mean, I like the fact that I get to my destination quicker when I fly but….at the same time I’m terrified LITERALLY the entire time I’m on the plane. Luckily, Ai.rTran equipped all or most of their planes with X.M Radio so that helped me to pass the time by. They were jammin on Suite 62! *smile* Speaking of, I’m going to have to invest in getting X.M radio for my car and/or home. Anyway, back to what I was saying.
I remember back in August 2001 when I flew to Jamaica with a radio station. Of course, I was terrified because that flight was over 3 hours. LOL After an hour and a half, I’m ready to get off that mug. Anyway, prior to our departure BACK to ATL, this girl wanted to say a prayer before we took off. Oh! I forgot to say it was a chartered flight. Anyway, during this prayer she prayed that we’d have a safe flight and what not. Then she mentioned what had happened to Aa.liyah and her friends a week prior. When she sat down, one of the radio personalities got up and said, “I know a lot of ya’ll were thinking, Now why in the hell she gotta bring that up before we take off?” Everybody started cracking up and nodding their heads. Shoot…. Especially me. I sho nuff was thinking that shyt. Thanks alot chic! But sometimes, when I’m flying with somebody that I know, I’m a little more comfortable. I dont’ know why.
Well, I must be going now. I have some running around to do. The wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and bachelorette party is tomorrow. I’m doing the “toy party” for the ladies. It’s still going to be a whole lot of fun. LOL I forgot to tell you about my curbside check-in. Now, some of you may not know because I believe I spoke about it in my other blog. BUT…I sell adult toys. So imagine the delight the bag checkers had while checking my bags. LOL They kept looking at me and smiling. I just flashed my pearly whites back at ‘em!
You’ll be fine on the flight back no worries. Girl! you cracked me up with those adult toys. I’ve had an local (foreign) security guard at an American embassy overseas look in my purse pull out a tampon and ask me what it was. I almost slapped him with it.
Anyway have a great time this weekend with all the wedding festivities!

Now see, the bride can’t really be that bad. Hee-hee. Just kidding. But was she crazed before the wedding stuff or did the bride title go to her head?

OK, why am I JUST getting your message?!?! I didn’t even realize that this was the weekend you were going out of town. Hope you’re having fun…and I’m cracking up at the visual of all of the “items” in your suitcase. LMAO!! I can’t wait for this weekend!!
PS You’re not alone. I absolutely HATE flying, but I always have. Even when I was a baby, my mom said that I would nut up whenever the plane would begin to take off. I think it’s the fact that I hate not being in control either.

Mental note: Be very accomodating and appreciative to the wedding party.

Aww man. You’ve GOT to be accomadating and appreciative. Especially when the majority of your attendants are coming from out of state. C’mon! I’m sooo NOT holding a grudge. It is what it is. Wait a minute. I didn’t even write about the damn wedding weekend yet. I’m going to have to do it tomorrow. Going to bed now. LOL
