Before I boarded a plane yesterday morning, ready to jet off to sunshine and palm trees (woohoo!), and completely unaware that I was about to give not one, but two impromptu lap dances to the middle seat passenger who apparently had roots preventing them from briefly standing up so I could reach my precious window seat, I made a smart decision and bought this book:

I’d been seriously looking forward to diving into this book. Jen Sincero’s writing is hilarious and refreshingly no-nonsense. Her previous book even made it onto my list of favorite reads back in Fall 2015. Despite the lingering awkwardness from “Middle Seat Molly” refusing to budge on the plane (seriously, you know the drill: Oh, you’re just going to stay glued to your seat, huh? Fantastic. Just let me contort my entire body into an impossible shape to avoid any accidental limb entanglement in the three inches of space row 26 generously provides. Thanks. Hope you’re feeling extra comfy.), I managed to devour a good chunk of pages in the last day.

Anyway, back to the book and less about my involuntary aerial acrobatics.
My trusty fine point Sharpie pen is already highlighting like crazy:

I’m loving this book just as much as Jen’s last one. Seriously, pick it up. And honestly, I’m kicking myself a little for not writing more myself, because I’ve been reading so much lately that I feel like I could have written this book myself!
So, lessons learned today?
-
) What in the world are we actually waiting for? (Yeah, that’s a question for both of us.)
-
) You absolutely have to take care of yourself before you even think about taking care of anyone else.
-
) And if you happen to be blessed with the middle seat on a plane, please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t pretend there’s enough room for someone to squeeze by without you moving. Just get your rear end up and let people pass in peace!
HAPPY FRIDAY!
