Tom left this morning we said goodbye and I cired. I'm not sure why. Now I'm kinda sad.

Travel in StyleMy boss's husband just called me. He bought me a FIRST CLASS roundtrip ticket to Arizona for Christmas. Sweet!
This is the third time I've flown there 1st class. A few other times I've gone business. What happens when the Depression hits and I'm forced to travel by Grayhound bus? It's like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry tells Elaine she has to fly coach because she's never flown 1st class and he has. Once you travel in style it's hard to slum it again.

- Update: I just reviewed the ticket and noticed on a 5 hour flight they only give you a snack even if you're in 1st class? WTF? I mean granted last time I flew the meal they served was beyond disgusting looking (I say "looking" because I didn't even bother to take a meal it was so gross). Still, for that kinda cash I expect them to at least make the effort to offer me a meal. Looks like I'll be on the all liquid diet (the one thing they haven't done away with is the free unlimited booze in first class).

The airlines have their own special way of making Quiznos seem appetizing. I flew "first class" last month and it is a shell of its former self. The non-alcoholic stuff was so penny pinched the containers of juice and water reminded me of snack packs and not in a good way.

I take the concept of "short" to a new abyss, so legspace means nothing to me. Since I apparently look like I am a spoilt kid, I always get handed extra toffees and biscuits. I don't necessarily do anything to rid the flight attendants of this deception (including speaking too much when they are around).
In the one flight that Delta completely messed up, they "compensated" by bumping me up to first class after a delay of 24 hours. I was agonizing so much about missing the meeting I was supposed to be at that none of the "special meals" (read: sunchips instead of peanuts) offered any consolation. But I did note what the "specialness" entitled me to -- an extra 99 Cents of chip fun.
Now with the "no special meals offered", I guess its better to carry a bundle of chips packets instead of selling your souls... er.. I mean cramped legs to the airlines.

Work crushOk email flirtation is one of my all time favorite ways to pass time at work. My work crush is totally indulging this and it's not helping my crush situation.
He cc'd me on an email requesting an iphone because I had given him some tips on how to finesse one out of IT. My route to an iphone didn't work and below is the email trail that ensued:
From: Ho, Jessica

Thanks for rubbing my incompetence in.
Also the golf trinkets are on their way for delivery tomorrow.
Best,
Jessica
Then he sent:
At least you have cool headbands....

- OMG he totally loves my adorable headband as much as I do. Or at least he pretends to (either one is fine with me). And he's started sending me morning updates on his day. Sigh..

Hotness/ObsessionJust because:
- For the record I am not the only one obsessed with Mad Men/ Joan. This was in the Sunday NY Post and there was a 3 page spread about her. So there.
- Also for the record she is totally my new girl crush.

This weekendI was very domestic (aka broke and didn't go out). I was also contemplating moving. When I have a big decision to make, I'm stressed or sad I cook and clean. Yes, I've turned into my mother.
Friday night:
Saturday:
This is one of my favorite foods- Eggplant. I love it breaded and baked. I made this and ate it all day Saturday.
Sunday:
Friday night:
- Note to self: no matter how cheap snow crablegs may seem ($6.99 a lb.) They are NOT worth the effort to get the meat out. I'm a king crab leg only kinda girl.
- This is prob the most wasteful invention ever, but I know Maria Visco totes uses these. They are bags you can microwave veggies in. They were $1 a box on sale. They actually work pretty well.

Sunday:
- Bean and pancetta soup. OMG this is so good (and low cal). The one drawback is sometimes I think I'm cooking for me and my family of 12. Then I remember after I make enough for a small army I don't have a family of 12 and I'll now be eating this soup for the entire winter.

Your cooking is gorgeous. ;-)

Boys are totally not worth any time in this world.
One word. Yuck.
I think gardenmama is right. It was weird seeing him this week. And as he was hugging me he kept calling me Jess which is what he does when he's having a moment w me. He kept telling me things would get better which was touching. Ugh dudes. Such emotional problems they cause..
That's a beautiful way to put it, (e:gardenmama). I've experienced that too.
As weird as it is, I think sometimes there's actually a certain sadness in the realization that you're over someone. You hope and wait and pray for it, but when it finally happens, there's sort of a "lost dream" effect.
That's the thing I AM over him. I have zero desire to make out with him. I think all hugs make me cry now.
i agree.
And a little bit insane. You need to get over him.
