I flew back from DC this morning. I was booked on a 10am flight, but to be courteous to my host (who wanted me the hell out of town - I'm kidding!!!), I was flying on the 6:30am flight standby. The airline told me to be there 2 hours prior to the flight. (Now I am a morning person, I wake up every morning at 5am, but if you screw with my sleeping prior to 5, I am a zombie...) I was NOT in the mood to be at the airport at 4:30am as generous and kind-spirited as I am. So we get to the airport at 6am. I figured I'd work some Diva magic. The gentleman at the airline counter was an older Indian man and, well, I understood maybe 20% of what he said. First he told me I was too late. I told him that I was told by the customer service folks last night that I was already on the standby list. He was confused and thought I was booked on another airline. Finally got him to give me a boarding pass for the 6:30 flight. It was 6:05. Then thru security. Of course, I forgot and wore an underwire bra. So they had to do that whole 'body-cavity-pull-you-asi de-search' and got felt up. They re-xrayed my boots. Then they couldn't find them after they went thru the Xray. Lovely... So off I go after being reunited with my boots, hauling booty *no pun intended* in 3 inch heels to the B concourse and (of course) my gate is at the end. Supposed to be there by 6:20. They do the final boarding call - I'm still 5 gates away... But, I make it. (I'm counting the 10 min run with the suitcase and in heels as my 30 mins of cardio today...) And, they upgrade me to business class... Why? I have no clue, but who's to complain? The only thing that sucked was that they don't serve free booze until after noon on their flights. P.S. It's 7pm. I'm running a fever. Rescheduled my date. In my jammies and going to bed. If you call me tonight, I swear I will curse you and all of your future generations with uncontrollable growing nose and ear-hair. P.P.S. Congratulations to a friend who just got adopted by a sweet kitty from a local shelter who is named "Dolce". (I think Dolce's sister should be Gabana!) I hope Dolce brings much joy and comfort. |

What airline did you fly?
They don't serve booze before noon? My airline serves it whenever. DD won't fly unless she can get a crown and coke before the plane moves. She hates take offs. We are usually on the 6am flights out of DFW to TPA.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could choose some hot hunk to do your pat down and at least get some cheap thrills from it?
