I tend to wake up randomly throughout the night, and today I woke up at about 7am. And I just so happened to see the single most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen in my entire life. I stayed awake for 20 mins just to watch it transform and come to an end. No photos, just witnessing and enjoying.

Celebrating Women’s History Month today by trying Une Femme’s β€œThe Betty” Sparkling Wine, a woman-made wine crafted specially for Delta. I wasn’t exactly planning to drink on my flight, but when in first class I might as well sample some bubbles, right? Best of all, it’s pink! πŸ’•

My favorite part about flying out of Cincinnati is that there’s a Vino Volo. I always stop in before my flight, but today my flight is at 10 and that’s when they open 😭
Even worse, my layover airport (Minneapolis) has one, but my layover is only FORTY FIVE MINS!! 😭😭

To be fair one of the only reasons I know that Cars 2 scene so well is because it’s the most unfunny and inconsistent with the lore part of the Cars franchise.
I’m not the first to point out that in the first movie they eat/drink GAS. THEY’RE CARS. HOW AND WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY BE EATING WASABI??

It makes me so upset. Like I want to intervene and defend her even if it means admitting to me eavesdropping.

The table of three women next to me are talking about Cars 2, specifically the scene where Mater eats wasabi. One of the other ladies said that happens in Cars 3, and the other woman backed her up. The first woman was like β€œare you sure?” and the other two were like, β€œyes 100%”
THEY ARE WRONGGGG πŸ’€πŸ’€

Listen, I’m not saying that I just ate an entire half of the loaf of banana bread I just baked, but I’m also not NOT saying that

There’s so many moments where I wish I could think of something to say that’s clever or witty as a retort, but more often than not I’m just so flabbergasted by the nerve of people.
This old man sitting across the bar from me said β€œhungry tonight, huh?” when my food arrived. I’m actually so dead πŸ’€
