oh heck! you are freaking hilarious! That is great. I so would have put my phone to my ear too! Sorry your sittin in an airport…but hey, at least your having fun..right?
Totally laughing right now. Don’t usually leave comments, but that was definitely worth a pop in – haha. Totally love the use of telephone to prevent people from thinking you were crazy. Loved the vblog – have a great flight back!
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant–and inspiring for anyone who has to spend too much time in an airport. (Plus the talking on the phone so people don’t report you to TSA is a smart idea, too.)
Totally brilliant! You’re my hero 😉 Hope you had a safe flight back. Gotta love the Denver airport. I had a long & memorable layover there once too. lol
I think I need to fly in my pyjamas next time. My mother-in-law got me some for Christmas – pink and turquoise with cows all over them. Nice. I think they are definitely the way to go, although my husband would probably want to sit at the other end of the plane in case anyone thought he knew me. 🙂
Brilliant! This tip will change my life as did your books. I love love love you and your books Cathy Zielske. This past year I have compiled a marvelous record for posterity because of you.
You crack me up! I totally needed that this morning. I have a headache and feeling like crap, so I needed a break. I can always count on you to keep it real! Have a comfy flighty home!
I probably needed to clean the computer screen anyway— thanks for the laugh that had me spewing coffee this morning!! Way to funny!! Something I definately would have done! Glad we got to share in your fun
you slay me. you really do. first, i’m so sad you had such a long layover! but i’m glad you could amuse yourself – and us!
i’m jealous, too. i couldn’t do it in public. the girls used to stay pretty much put, bra or not, but those days are a mere memory. my 2-year-old said a week or so ago, while looking down the neck of my nightgown, “mommy, what’s that on the bottom of your boobies?” the bottom?!
but why so short? we could have “chatted” for at least an hour with that long a layover! it was good to hear from you, but i need more! i lurrrrve your blog!
The phone as prop…killer idea. My friend had a similar experience at her husbands high school reunion. She texted me a message to make it look like important work stuff when she was off in a corner and felt like no one was talking to her. Super way to actually avoid personal contact with strangers!
Cathy, you crack me up!! Why do you live where you live and not on my street!??? I love that you lost the bra and donned the jammies in the airport – I bet people were passing you thinking “man , she looks so comfy. Why am I walking around in this skirt that’s too tight and these stupid shoes?” … your jammie outfit is pretty much what I live in most of the time (and I would wear it more often if I had my way)! When I come home, the first things to come off are the bra and the shoes!
OMG!!! you were on my tv this morning!! when i was on the treadmill watching DIY or HGTV (because those are all i watch right now). and there you and dan were in your design-challenged old kitchen, tearing everything up. and my 4yo was so impressed when i told her i had met the lady on the tv (birmingham, 2006. i’m sure you remember me).
You are the smartest person at the airport! And of course, the funniest…let’s be honest, when hanging out in the terminal, people don’t have the fun vibe….
OMG!! I LOVE IT!! You are brilliant! (which we already knew of course) But putting on your pjs & losing the bra is priceless! Thanks for making my day! Have a great & safe trip home!
Too funny. And I am sitting here in blogland having just returned from lunch with friends. I came home, took off my pretty sweater, removed the bra, put on my comfy sweatshirt and jeans and fuzzy pink slippers and watched your video. Love it!
You are just the cutest thing ever!
I am laughing so hard right now.
More power to you for loosing the bra!
I think we should all fly in our PJs from now on.
Why not? People sleep on the plane. =)
Keep ’em coming I am in need of a good laugh.
You always have been, but now you are REALLY my idol! I travel all the time, and half the time I won’t even take off my dress shoes and change into comfy shoes to fly…but on Monday, I’m going to “pull a Cathy.” You’re the best!
I can’t believe Cathy Zielske was at my airport and I WASN’T there! Bummer!
Happy Friday!
Hey… I got stuck in Denver this week too (missed connection due to a late flight). However, I was lucky enough to *get* to spend the night and eat dinner at a Flying J. Then I got to wake up the next morning and put on the same clothes I had on the day before and attempt to make it home. We then had to make an emergency landing in Chicago because the navigational equipment went out on the plane. Good times. Oh yeah…
The first thing that comes to my mind: “You’re crazy!” 🙂
The second thing: “I love it!” 🙂
Thanks for being so darn funny and honnest and genuine and everything else.
That was the most fun I have had today 🙂 Love the sense of humor. I suppose you come close to when we have a dress-up pajama day at school…except I do not participate in those days because the students would not want to see what I wear to bed.
I am totally laughing right now. And I’m glad I waited until I got home from work to watch it in the comfort of my own (bra-less) home. Love it! Keep up the fantastic blogging.
ohmygosh.
my most favorite part of the whole video…was when you leaned back to show the outfit and did this “hey – how’s it goin'” nod to someone? noone?
Holy Crap, I just spent a good hour browsing your blog entries after first watching this video…and my only question is, “Why have I NOT ever been here before?” It is beyond great and is now on my ‘to read’ list, which only contains one other blog. Thanks for the awesomeness that is you! Seriously. Love it.
That’s something I would do–holding the cell to make people think I’m not talking to myself!!!
You are a genius for wearing pajamas & being super comfy on the plane! If more women lost their bras more often life would be a lot more peaceful!
The best most hysterical post in a long time!!! Hope you post more like from the supermarket, or a tanning booth, or a taxi, or a…well you get the idea right??
LMAO It’s hard to make me laugh this early in the morning, but that did it! I loved when you leaned back, looked around to see who was watching you. LOL
You did catch Neil on Austin City Limits last night didn’t you? Sure hope so—I so wanted to email you to watch, but then remembered the time difference—(I’m in Oregon)
Hahaha! You remind me of ME, except I think I would feel too vulnerable without the bra. Thanks for the idea since I’ve got some flying ahead of me this next week!
Cathy, I truly NEVER know what I will find on your blog. And that is part of the charm of your blog that keeps me coming back. You are one in a million. Honestly, that was original & frappin hysterical.
And, it’s nice to hang loose in such uncomfortable accomodations.
OMG. I’m sitting here laughing out loud and my husband wants to know what’s so funny. How the heck would I possibly explain? You are too cool, girl. Love it… hee hee hee hee
Thank you for making me smile! You are a riot! I,too, am all about the bra-less thing – but whilst travelling at 35,000 feet? Now THAT is something I am gonna have to try!
Tracy
😀 So freakin’ funny! You inspire me! (And I don’t mean just b/c I want to go bra-less now through airports – LOL!)
Thanks for panning out to show us how to travel in style. You rock!
yeah…i have SOOOO put the phone up to my ear and “acted like i was talking” so i could sing along to my Tony Orlando GOLD CD! Man…i love to knock three times!! thanks for the giggles!
Genius! Brilliant! Love that you thought of putting the phone to your ear so airport people didn’t see the craziness. Totally made me think of being crazy, which in turn made me think of “As Good as it Gets”… “Go sell crazy somewhere else. We’re all stocked up here.”
I was browsing who knows what and I remembered this video you made so I revisited it. It’s still one of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for sharing yourself this way. Your tip of losing the bra and wearing comfy clothes for a long flight/layover is locked in my brain.
