Petrified.

ahhhhhh

I found out last night that I'm claustrophobic. It was horrible. We were flying home from Othello Washington, the flight was completely full, and I, Cami Clay, had a window seat… this would have been my favorite seat if I was 6 and had never been on a plane before and my elbows weren't rubbing on anything plastic or human. I probably would have looked up and saw the buttons and wondered what they did… but no, I'm not 6 and that space above my head meant I couldn't stand up all the way, the two bodies next to me where two obstacles in my way to freedom. (sorry honey, one was you) And thinking of evacuating that thing was the worst. I kept trying to think of ways to beat everyone out of the plane (one thought involved ninja flying over the seats)…. good thing my husband is a genius and brought Harry Potter for me to watch the entire flight to distract me. Thanks babe. Seriously though, I’ve flown a couple times a year and this is just happening? Could my life get anymore complicated?

i HATE flying! i was totally fine until two years ago when i was flying to denver with kylee and we hit hit a "air bump"...they flight attendant flew from across the isle and landed in my seat and sat there while the plane tilted back and forth back and forth!! i had my head in between my legs the rest of the flight while kylee sat next to me with head phones on watching mickey mouse not phased one bit:)
I was talking to Millie about having a dinner with you guys. Do you have any free nights?
