getting up for my flight...

i cringe as i get up at 330 am to prepare for a 7 am flight. by 445 am, i'm standing in the chilled air waiting on a shuttle to take me to the airport. burrrr....finally its here! i am met by a brotha who seems delighted to take my bags greeting me with "mo'nin' shawty". hmm.....i'll take that, so i get on the bus and i'm met with 3 sarah palinesque women chatting like its happy hour! literally O.M.G, it is seriously much too early for this madness! two were on their way back to detroit and the other to alaska! at that point, it didnt take long for me to realize that the driver & i were about to be driven insane for the next 45 minutes. i tried really hard to tune out their puckered lipped accents, but no such luck. finally the driver noticed my eyes rolling to the back of my head and put in an R. Kelly & Ron Isley CD. Aaahhh....who woulda thought they'd be angels to my earzzz...

finally, i arrive at the airport & much to my surprise the airline couldn't find my $425 ticket!!! after 30 minutes of tryin to pull a rabbit out of their ass...they found out the agent booked my last name as my first name & vice versa. GOOD LAWD!!! ok, we're straight, right? yeah right...."that will be an extra $40 m'am!" WHAT? FORTY DOLLARS?? "yes, 15 for the first bag and 25 for the second...will that be cash or charge?" are they INSANE???? so now your basically payin' for your underwear to jet across state...and you're only payin' for a one way ticket too?? ... looks like to me, the airlines are gettin' part of that stimulus package too...by any means necessary! u may as well start layerin' your 'shirts and draws' just to save a dolla'!!!! LOL

so, there i was forkin over $40 extra bucks when i heard this loud chirp next to me. it was a sistah with a slightly bigger bag than mine. my curiousity got the best of me...so i asked her was there something in the bag she was carrying. she said it was her pet Parrot. y'all she was literally paying the agent $250 to get that parrot a seat on the plane. i kid u not!!!! WTH??? and here i was fussin' about payin' forty bucks to get inanimate objects across state, what was i thinkin'? ...or better yet....WTH was she thinkin'?
