The cab line was non existent and cabs are so much cheaper than Uber, at least tonight. File this away for your next visit to MSY.

Now they just came on the intercom and said, no it’s not a ground stop; it’s a code yellow. Planes can land. We’ll see what that means for us.

Apparently this airport has a ground stop but they are making us board anyway. 🙄

This is a California Pizza Kitchen vending machine. Wild.

I was just a Good Samaritan and gate checked my bag since they asked for volunteers. Hoping for good karma for my trip next Friday in return.

It’s my fault for not asking how to turn it off but my parents roasted me with their heated seats. I am sorry to inform everyone that the fat doesn’t just melt off either.

If you’ve loved Hello Kitty since the beginning, you’re likely old enough for this. (My mom & I just went to Daiso in Dallas.)

I think my phone thinks the Taylor Swift skeletons at Skeleton House are people I know. It grouped the photos from 2024 into an album, “Early Moments Together,” I guess because I took photos of them this year too. 😂

I thought for sure that blue was going to be yoga poses 🤦🏼‍♀️ Connections Puzzle #902 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

In honor of Thanksgiving and Bayou Classic weekend, my phone had the Human Jukebox from 2014 in my featured photos. For fairness, I had to share GSU Tiger Marching Band.

It doesn’t matter when you checked in online if you roll up 3/4 of the way during boarding and miss your spot 🤦🏼‍♀️

Not that anyone asked but the main reaction to the two vaccines is arm pain. Like severe arm pain. I’m a side sleeper and it seriously interfered with my sleep. I will be glad when my arms are over this reaction.

I had issues with green because I am an idiot. Purple is so silly. Connections Puzzle #900 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟦🟩🟩 🟦🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

This is the form I had to fill out earlier. I could not get *any* vaccines without filling out this form. Call me crazy but I don’t like to sign random forms that have nothing to do with the treatment I am receiving. (I did not get a COVID vaccine today - I was there for two different vaccines.)

Sorry, this was incomplete. If I didn’t fill out the form, I couldn’t get the vaccine. I filled it out even though I wasn’t getting a Covid vaccine. Whatever.

I’m at the pharmacy at Ochsner, waiting to get two vaccines that are not the COVID vaccine. They made me sign two forms, “Acknowledgment of FDA-approved parameters of COVID-19 vaccine.” I can’t get the vaccines (again, not for COVID).

Purple is ridiculous. Connections Puzzle #899 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Also, if you’re planning a trip to the Christmas markets or a winter European trip, check out my Christmas markets shopping list. I learned a lot of lessons last year and made adjustments for this year. Example: I am NOT bringing any sweaters with acrylic or polyamide. shopmy.us/collections/...

If you are planning a trip to the Christmas markets, especially Munich and Vienna, feel free ask me any questions. Last year I hardly did any planning and a couple of people on here were traveling ahead of me and gave me some (almost) real-time advice.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or another traveler, Calpak has already started their Black Friday sale - 20% off. They have sales a couple of times per year, if you’re not in a hurry. I bought my Luka duffel on sale through TikTok shop in January. They have a lot of great travel products.

If you need new luggage, now is the time to buy Away, when everything is 25% off. I have had the pink bigger carry-on since 2018. The bigger carry-on is fine for major U.S. airlines but I had to check it in Italy on a regional airline. The only negative imo: the lighter colors show scuff marks.

If you’re planning a cold weather vacation or shopping for someone who is, now is the best time to buy wool socks. Bombas is having their 25% off sale. I took calf socks with me last year and I bought some quarter socks this year. I wish I had these half calf socks instead.

One co-worker is still incredulous after being informed that you’re not supposed to give up. “Well, lots of other people do it.” (She brought it up.)

Don’t get too in the weeds on the 🍸🍹 category like I did, “these all have citrus and that one only has cranberry.” WRONG. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Connections Puzzle #894 🟨🟪🟨🟨 🟩🟪🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Every year, I explain to the same people that it’s you are not supposed to give up, that it’s not considered proper etiquette. Every year they tell me, “I’ve never heard that.” 🙄 If you love giving gifts to your boss(es), I love that for you but it shouldn’t be company culture.

The firm where I work has a tradition of the staff giving gifts to all of the attorneys. Every group does this. It’s never going to change but it’s never going to stop irritating me. I esp dislike trying to agree on gifts for 5 attorneys who are completely different but will receive the same thing.

This was in my featured photos 🥰 It’s the Christmas market at Belvedere Palace in Vienna. I am counting the days until Belgium!

I had every intention of going to bed early tonight and yet here we are.

My landlord is selling the two of the doubles she owns (she owns another with siblings). She’s having an appraisal done tomorrow. One of my people- pleasing neighbors is in the chat texting us photos of how clean their place is. If I had that kind of time to organize my apt, I’d pack up and move.

Client gifts can be a mixed bag but today I received what I think is a good one. I got a Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie as a Thanksgiving gift. It was really pretty before I cut it (I did not take a photo) and it was delicious. shop.goodecompany.com/products/bra...
