Pink tablets.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this postBuying a small tablet for my new kneeboard was on my list of errands today. I didn't want a replay of the clumsy dropfest the last time I went for the morning flight with a different instructor, of which tomorrow I am to do.
I stood in front of the impressive display of small tablet options at Staples, and marveled again at my inability to not over-think absolutely every decision.The safe choice would be standard yellow. The little yellow mini-legal pad has great presence and tradition. "Look here, I'm serious," it says. There was also some recycled paper, as well as some neutral-toned paper.
Really, I should just grab one.
Just pick one and go! I thought to myself. The store brand was the cheapest.Then I saw a stack of pastel pads, Staples brand, which included pink.
I like pink.
It makes no sense to me, why this is so, since I'm sort of churlish and graceless and despise girly crap* in general.
This morning I spent many hours reading from my flying textbook about carburetors, magnetos, fuel injection engines, oil pumps, and other aspects of the various engines found in aircraft. I felt as if I really could use some pink.
So, I bought the pink notepads for my kneeboard which may lack a "serious pilot" air about it, but I really like pink so I don't care.
* Except high heels. Of which I am obsessed. And write about frequently. And I like heart necklaces. But I swear, that's about it for girly things. Oh yeah, perfume. THAT'S IT! Promise.

Julie, you protest too much. Whether you like it or not, you have a soft feminine side. And that's a good thing.
