Various Stuff
I haven’t blogged for awhile because I haven’t had anything I really wanted to write about and I’m generally not a person to do something just to do it, or I’m just lazy. Actually it really is the first but when I say that it sounds like the second.
I’ve been traveling a bit lately so I have some observations. 1. The best “middle” ( the person sitting between the people in the aisle and window seats) to have on a plane is no middle. Unless you’re madly in love or at least in like with the person next to you it’s weird at best and if you are sandwiched between two strangers it just plain sucks. You can’t lean so it’s hard to sleep and your fighting for an armrest the whole time. I once had to sit “middle” on the very back row on a coast-to-coast daytime flight. 6 1/2 hours of torture!
2. I am not a fan of all the post 9/11 carry-on restrictions ( the whole striptease to get through the checkpoint is annoying) but I must say that it has made for more uniformity as far as the luggage is concerned. I remember in years past seeing people carry-on everything from carnival midway sized stuffed animals to table leafs, boom boxes and potato chips and stash them in the overhead compartment.
3. Is it me or are more flights late these days? The past two weeks I have taken the same flight back to San Francisco and both times it’s been close to two hours late. No big deal but it was the last flight out so when all was said and done I finally crawled into bed at 1:30 this morning only to have my alarm clock go off two hours later at 3:30 am. Ugh!
Finally, ladies thanks for calling in on the “Hairanoia” Ladies Room. Special thanks to Angela Gardner who e-mailed with some curly hair product reccomendations. I placed an order today and will product test these myself. If I agree with Angela, I’ll post the link on the blog. Angela says she surfs and swims and these products keep her hair nice despite the salt and chlorine. She also reccomends the Medusa Salon in San Francisco which she reports specializes in curly hair. I haven’t tried the salon so if you do, make sure you ask about any concerns. That’s it, have a fabulous hair day!
