What happened to Flying the Friendly Skies

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Last year seemed to be the summer of travel for me, and shockingly this summer iss adding up to be no different.  I’m thrilled to say I’m going lots of different places, but yet again I’ll be busy this summer.  Well, I don’t know if everyone noticed but yesterday I declared it to “buy plane tickets day!”  Did you celebrate too? No?  Be happy you didn’t join me. (more…)

No Good Comes from a Paper Bag in the Newspaper

Monday, January 8th, 2007

We canceled the newspaper this past week.  While we currently only got Saturday and Sunday (our paper refused to bring us the only paper we wanted and read — Sunday), we still decided that we’d cancel it.  After all it had gotten to the point where literally we read the paper for the sale circulars and the comics — or was that just me?

Proof that I’m bright

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Since I’ve started writing this little blog, I’ve believed in the back of my head that what I’m really doing is proving that I’m really not all that bright. As the kid who was in the gifted programs in school, took just about every honors and AP class offered, and even made it through college without ever having a grade lower than a C (in my WHOLE life, people), it came as a shock that I’m in truth not all that bright.

‘Cause I’m Wild Like That.

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Today begins the new year — just in case you live in a cave without a calendar or Carson Daily screaming at you from the TV. Now, normal people are making resolutions to diet, be nicer, or you know, stuff. Normal people are recovering from hangovers because they actually went out last night and celebrated. But you see, the Royals are NOT normal people. Oh no. (more…)

The New Year will have to come without me.

Monday, January 1st, 2007

I once heard that what you are doing at midnight when the new year begins is what you will do the whole year.  I can firmly attest that this is a lie of MAJOR proportions.  In fact, I want my money back this is such a lie.  I have been sound asleep for the dawning of a new year for many a year and never ONCE has it brought me a year of sleeping well.  Seriously, if I’d wanted wakeful nights for a year, I’d be awake at midnight.

No, you see my specific brand of insomnia doesn’t truly begin until 2am.  In fact, since returning home from my 8 billion mile journey, I have been begging to not be awake at any point from 4 to 6 am.  I can tell you truthfully, that I’ve yet to get my wish.  It was so bad this morning, that I was actually so sick of laying in bed wide awake by 7am that I got up and made breakfast.  Seriously, this is getting old.

So, my little sweet internet friends, I must leave you and get some sleep, in hopes that the baby New Year ‘07 will finally be kind to me and allow me to great him well rested and later in the morning.

I tell you, I live a most exciting life.  You wish you were me, I can just feel it.  Seriously, let’s hope in 2007, I get to talk about more than my addiction to coffee and lack of sleep.
