High on benadryl I chillaxed next to a Mormon (who kept dropping ass the entire way) and caught up on some Jersey Shore gossip courtesy of Life & Style magazine (such a sucker for stockin up on mags at the airport, I am!) Anyhoo, we get to Salt Lake City just shortly past our scheduled arrival time and after bypassing all the dreamcatcher shops; which was not an easy task either might I add, and get to the connecting terminal for my flight back to Oakland. ONLY to find out the flight was oversold and since I was late, they had already boarded the darn flight and told me I was getting rebooked for the first morning flight once they did the head count and found there were indeed no empty seats. 'That's bollocks, awe shucks!' I shouted. Kidding. Remember I was high on benadryl so I said 'Serious, Clark?' I didn't really mind. They told me they'd pay for my hotel, give me some vouchers for food and 4 hundo worth of Delta credit. Cha-ching!! So myself, Louis and Francois (that's what I just named my Longchamp bag, I think it sounds sophisticated and French just like my bag should be!! :-)) loaded up and headed to the Radisson, Salt Lake City. Classy!
Unfortunately, staying in the Bible belt on a Sunday night does not lead to a very adventurous evening (shoulda hit the slopes!) so I pretty much watched the Simpsons and hit the hay. Waking up early, I make my way back to the airport where I finally get checked in to head back to my humble abode. However, I did get the wondrous opportunity (which I probably would have not had, had I flown back the night before) to peruse the sweet gems available for purchase in the SkyMall magazine. And after all, isn't that mag one of the best perks to flying!?!? I took some pictures of some pretty sweet items that you may want to add to your gift-giving list for next Christmas. Or heck, Valentine's Day is coming up, why don't you throw that loved one a bone and shock them with these gifts that keep on giving on their own!!
If you look closely, the byline says 'This person is able to sleep comfortably in any seat! Can you say the same?' Now come on, WHO wouldn't want to sleep comfortably in any seat with this sweet ass concoction!!!
The next item might I suggest (especially to those prone to constantly losing cell phones... no hints to a certain friend of mine, hmmm... maybe the perfect PUSH present! :-))
'Our Unique Solution to the Misplaced Cell Phone!'
I love how the ad shows the holder only in pink. Are they insinuating that we, women, are more prone to losing cell phones than men are?!?! I think their marketing team may be a little sexist. Jerks!
And lastly which is also quite possibly my favorite item available in the SkyMall mag:
Now this ladder looks like a perfectly feasible option to 'Help keep your family safe!' Dontcha think?!
Oh and a little added bonus... just in case you were ever curious as to what the view looks like flying over Utah!

hahah, omg, i have thought that ladder looks like a death trap before too. I miss you.
