“So what are you doing this weekend mom?”
“Well I don’t think I have much going on. What’s up?”
“Go to Switzerland with me!”
A Lady In Amsterdam
THUD
“Dear Lord, seriously?”
I had just crashed to the floor in the middle of the night. Dreaming of being a gymnast? More like I was unaware my “King Bed” was actually 2 twin beds which had managed to separate in the night. Naturally I haddddd to roll to the middle in my sleep and hadddd to fall in between the two beds. Continue reading “A Lady In Amsterdam”
Legally Blonde… The Ginger Version
“Oh I just love your outfit” the police officer said to me as I placed my belongings into the scanner.
“Gosh thank you – It’s just so fun to wear heels isn’t it?” I replied not even thinking that DUH officers don’t wear heels at work… *Palm to face*
Doing My Makeup in the Emergency Room
“Breathe in, breathe out Christena” I murmured to myself. The pain was almost unbearable as I sat on the Emergency Room bed. Slowly reaching into my purse I grasped my makeup bag to survey the damage the 9 hours of crying had done. Brutal… just brutal. Continue reading “Doing My Makeup in the Emergency Room”
Things I Don’t Understand About Adulting
“Wellppp… I could either get the gold hedgehog with the pink party hat OR the gold giraffe with the blue party hat”, I thought to myself as I stood in the aisle of Target. Did I come in to get a gold hedgehog from Target? Pshh, don’t be silly! I came in to get pantyhose and left with pug dog salt shakers, a gold hedgehog, a gold pineapple candle and a shirt that says “Namastay in bed”. #SuccessfulAdulting

My French Boyfriend
People ask me all the time if I ever date people I meet on planes. The assumption here is that first of all, I meet attractive eligible bachelors and secondly and more importantly, that I’m capable of flirting.
He boarded the plane and I practically had to pick my jaw up off the floor. He was Parisian and James Bond level dreamy. We were just meant to be from the moment I laid eyes on him… or at least that’s what I told myself as I turned the same color as my red dress. Continue reading “My French Boyfriend”
The Stroller That Almost Killed Me
I screeched to a stop in front of the stroller section in the Atlanta airport baggage claim.
“Um hi, I need that stroller right there for a passenger” i breathlessly exclaimed to the very bored looking worker.
“Yea……. we can’t do that, you’re not the owner of the stroller are you?” Side note: apparently I look incapable of owning a stroller?
I Could Have Had A Baby
“We’d like to ask Christena Brooks to stay behind today”
In that moment at the interview to be a flight attendant I was convinced I had done something horribly wrong and so I burst into tears. They led a very snotty Christena to the back room and revealed I had been offered a job offer. Continue reading “I Could Have Had A Baby”
