Today I write somewhere above East Texas… or perhaps Louisiana. I really don’t know. I don’t really care either.

The sun is setting outside my window. Row 6. Seat A. Flight 1264 on Southwest Airlines out of Houston Hobby. Destination: Nashville, TN.

I am snaking on Honey Roasted peanuts. Sipping a small cup of Coca Cola.

This is my second flight of the day. My first flight has from Austin, Tx to Houston. I had a Ginger Ale on that flight. I guzzled it. As you can guess, that was one of this up, then right back down flights. 50 minutes gate to gate. So maybe 40 minutes in the air. Maybe. I heard a whopping 2 songs on my iPod before it was time to shut ‘er off.

Ah iPod. I don’t think I’ve used it since I last flew April ’10.

Weird to not have flown in so long. I make the trip from Music City USA to the Live Music Capitol of the World regularly. Home to home. (Austin is not home, but its the closest airport to my parents.) I usually fly direct, but it didn’t work his time… hence the plane change. Not a big deal. Still shorter than the 13 hour drive we often make to get to the same destination!

Anyway, back to the iPod. Got sidetracked there. The iPod was deaaaaaaad when I pulled it out. Took forever to charge last night. I switched some music around. Took some stuff off. Put on some new goodies.

Thankful for the iPod on my last flight, short as it was. Two rows behind me was a very brash, loud man. He found himself funny. I got tired of all the MFs and stories of being “gangsta” and “titty glitter”. I’m not easily offended… at all… but this guy was grating on my last nerve. Give me a crying baby over him any flight!!

Ah the people you encounter while traveling. I finally saw jeggings in real life. They’re… not awful, but they also will never be on my wish list.

I, however, do love Southwest airlines comfy seats with charging stations at gates. Brilliant, SWA. Just one more reason I adore them.

Wow. Blogging while flying makes time… well… fly. I land in half an hour. Time to close. Date night once I land. Flying Saucer… here we come!!
