To keep up with the theme of the day.
Here is my puke story......Puke from YaK at 37,000 feet
I just found out I was freshly preggers with 1st baby. A morning sickness newbie if you will.
Unfortunately for me I was at a business meeting in Vancouver when I found out. How romantic! "Hi, honey, guess what? Yup, I'm pregnant....see you in a few days." Not at all like those commercials!
I didn't want to tell anyone at work I was preggers yet. My boss decides that he need someone from Canada to go to Head office in Los Angeles for a meeting TOMORROW. I wanted to go home and celebrate with DH!
So, I get on the plane to L.A. Sitting in Business Class (yay!) Evening flight - dinner will be served. Excellent, I'm starving! Smallish plane - Boeing 737.
Dinner comes out. OMG what's that smell............. I crawl over the seats and heads of the people in front of me getting to the bathroom asap! I cannot imagine puking at my seat in the little baggies they give you. Those are for writing down stuff when you don't have a handy piece of paper.
Picture this Maelstromers.......I'm in a business suit......hose, skirt, pumps, the whole thing. Lookin' kind of sharp! And I gotta puke.....now!
A little aside: Next time you are in the bathroom on a airplane, 37,000 feet up, have a little look around. The floor space is about 1ft by 2 ft. There is a vent on the door (this plane anyway) so everyone can hear what is going on. Perhaps a Mile High deterant. Don't know.
So I go in. Blow chucks. All over the place. Panty hose restricting my movement. Pumps flying off my feet. Trying not to puke on my blouse. Skirt up around my waist. I went in looking sharp.......I came out looking like the bride of Frankenstein!!!!
So, the lovely Flight Attendant - we'll call her MaryPat, says to me, "Are you OK" I suspect the whole Business class cabin heard me, including the flight deck - pilot and co-pilot. Nice, eh?
I said, "yes, I think I'll be fine - I just found out I'm expecting and not feeling too well"
It was as if I was having a birthday at Disney and Goofy just called me on the phone!! She squealed, and call the other attendants up front to congratulate me! I should have YaKed right there on her shoes. She says, "guess what, MarySue, Mary Lousie.....this lady is pregnant, isn't that great!"
Ya, right lady, wait until you get a load of the bathroom
I actually tried to clean up - but I'm sure you all have had experience with those silver plane toilets......nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!!!
