Orlando Fiasco

Let me tell you a couple short stories about my trip to Orlando......

On the plane to Orlando I was sitting behind this giant lady with bleached blonde hair that covered about half of her butt (the width of two chairs). She sat in the aisle and across the aisle from her sat her post-midlife crisis, biker boyfriend proudly wearing his leather and gold rings. These two were easily in their early to late fifties and going on, what I can only assume is, one of their first travel dates. The entire 4 hour flight from Phoenix to Orlando they were holding hands, writing each other notes on the napkins, whispering to each other and sharing which songs they were listening to on their iPods. Even though I would normally think this were weird and annoying, I actually thought this was pretty cute. Goes to show you "to every pot fits a lid" (sounds way better in Dutch). Even when you're older and weird, after you've re-established yourself post-midlife and bleach your hair beyond repair/ squeeze as many gold rings onto your sausage-like fingers as you possibly can.... someone will love you for you. Someday you might experience that need to hold hands in the aisle and the unstoppable need to tell your partner whatever's on your mind. When saying your thoughts out loud would be inappropriate, you settle for writing it on napkins because you just can't wait to tell them..... how cute.

Now on to a more interesting story.......

Stuck in an elevator. That's right! I got stuck in an elevator!!!!! Granted it was only for twenty minutes or so, but still.....I thought I was going to die! I tried to play it cool since I was with my boss but when the doors closed, the buttons were pushed and nothing happened I had the weirdest, scariest feeling that the elevator was just gonna drop to the ground floor! Luckily for me, that didn't happen.... but STILL! He pushed the Alarm button and called the "help desk". They answered with "What?" haha. Wow, Orlando..... that's how you treat people stuck in your elevators???? I stood in the corner waiting for the guy to come open the door (luckily we weren't in between floors) and swear the only thing I could think of was Fresh Prince of Bel-air! haha. Tell me why- when I started to hyperventilate and thought I was gonna die.... all I could think of was:

Stuck in a basement

Sittin on a tricycle

Girl gettin on my nerves.

I'm goin outta my mind

I thought she was fine

Don't know if her body is hers!

haha! Yup, I guess it's meant to be. When my life flashes before my eyes I see Will Smith. Jayda, move over. It's my turn! ;-)

How Wonderful You Are

So sweet when I want you to be

Strong when I need you to be

Fun when the time calls for it

You fit in with all my friends and every party

With you I can relax

And you bring me and my friends together.

You open up the stream of conversation

And let me talk about anything without guilt.

You can be cool, classy and light

or warm, strong and dark.....

And for that, I thank you and drink another glass!

 

A Girl's Words Translated

(My interpretation) When A Girl Says:

• "I don't like flowers" she means "find something better and more personal to give to me."

• "I'm not the jealous type" she means "I don't care if you go out and have fun but the truth always comes out so you better not cheat on me."

• "Let's do something fun" she means "Let's get out of the house"

• "I trust YOU, it's HER I don't trust" she means "I don't trust YOU with HER"

• "You don't have to get me anything" she means "I want it to be a surprise!" 

• "I want to meet your friends" she means "Who the heck have you been hanging out with all this time? And who is Mark?"

• "I love you" she means "I would do anything for you"

• "I would do anything for you" she means "tell me what you need"

• "I need a hug" she means "remind me that you'll never let me go"

• "I hate your ex" she means "don't ever bring her up in my presence unless there's something I can do to help you"

• "How do I look?" she means "did you notice the three hours of work I put into looking good for you?"

• "I feel like I'm sixty years old" she means "let's do something spontaneous and make me feel young again"

• "You're the best!" she means "Keep it up!"

• "Don't do that to me again" she means "this is your warning and should you choose to ignore it, I'll leave and find someone better" 
• "This isn't working" she means "you don't care enough"

More to come whenever I think of them.....
