Buy Me Just ONE Pair and I'm Yours
FOREVER.
(Sorry I saw the first pair and ended up googling Christian Louboutin's newest shoes and that's when I ended up having to wipe drool off my keyboard...SO I thought I'd share some findings) I'm slightly into bows...can you tell? Oh and I just realized I have the pink shoes in RED. Figures.

Ok Brad Pitt HAS to be Next!
Well yet again another high profile meeting.
Mike Huckabee
Mr. Huckabee was walking down the terminal in the Little Rock, AR airport on his way to catch a Northwest Airlines flight when I knew I had to meet him. He was only traveling with one person and he was carrying his bags himself. He looked straight out of an Orvis store and had a very pleasant demeanor. I was in my Stewardess uniform and ended up walking right beside him when I said hello. He was very polite and we had a very informal introduction and he said - "I'm not flying your airline today but I fly them often, I'll look for you on a future flight Ms. JSS" I wished him safe travels and we both went on our separate ways.
I talked to some of our gate agents later who said he does travel our airline quite frequently and how he is always very low-key and polite. My meeting with him was no different!
So who next? Probably Leroy and Billy headed to a NASCAR race decked out in their finest overalls. Oh well for now I'll take my Emmy award winning journalist, presidential candidate and a young hot MTV Reality Star!

Celeb Sighting!
Probably one of the absolute best part of my job is the simple fact that every single flight there is change. With everyone knowing that my attention span can be pretty short the mere fact that every single flight I work is different thrills me. Its wonderful, actually. I come to work never knowing who I will meet, where I will eventually end up for the night (it can change..and does sometimes) and what new adventure I will face 37,000 feet high.
So what was so exciting about my flight yesterday?
This Man.
How could you miss Mr. Sam Donaldson sitting in your section?? He was leaving his ranch in New Mexico headed for the DC area. His wife was reading Barbara Walters book and they were both very polite and very low maintenance .
So when it comes to celebs this week I’ve just been moving right on up the creditability list…from a MTV Reality Star to the most highly-paid newsreaders at ABC with 3 Emmy's.
My life is turning out anything but boring and I wouldn't have it any other way!

It looks like a cheesy quote...but trust me its not
So many people live with unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each new day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear crazy. But once you have become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and incredible beauty." - Alexander Supertramp, aka Chris McCandless

These new Delta coach seats do not look so bad...
Delta to unveil roomier coach seatsPosted April 24, 2008 at 10:41 am ET by Molly Feltner, SmarterTravel.com Staff
It's not all mergers and billion-dollar losses with Delta these days, at least not according to the numerous bloggers who've reported that the airline plans debut comfy new seats in economy class on some of its 777s and 767s by 2010. Delta is supposedly working with Thompson Solutions, a Northern Ireland-based company that designed the new full-flat bed seats for the airline's BusinessElite class.
For economy passengers, Thompson's "Cozy Suite" seating promises to give two extra inches of legroom, more privacy, and a "fixed cocoon" design conducive to comfortable sleeping. In the past, airlines have been loath to provide more legroom in economy because doing so generally means some seats must be removed, thus reducing the number of paying passengers that can fit on an aircraft. However, Thompson's seat design attempts to alleviate this problem by staggering seats in a way that makes better use of available space, giving passengers more room without the airline having to lose as many (or any) seats.
With Delta hemorrhaging money right now, we'll have to see if these new seats really come to pass. At press time I couldn't find a news release on Delta or Thompson's website indicating this is a done deal.
These actually look a lot better! It sure beats using your neighbors shoulder as a pillow! Your thoughts?

Well "Here's To Hoping" Worked!!
Ok So it wasn't Justin Timberlake in a Givenchy suit but it was this MTV Hottie.
Evan Starkman
Evan Starkman was a passenger on my flight last night. The other flight attendant and I chatted with him during our approach into Baltimore. He was a very outgoing nice guy who went on about he LOVES Southern Women (Mind you I'm from Arkansas and my fellow crew member was an adorable Kentucky Girl) I must say he was quite charming. He didn't mention MTV and was shy about his job so we just continued to discuss southern colleges/football and our plans for the night! (Then sneak off in the galley to discuss if he was the MTV star or not)
He finds out he is our last stop of the night and makes a plea all the way out into the Jetway for us to party with him and his friends in Virgina. He said he wasn't sure where they were going... But he could make it work if we would say yes. Staring at this boys arms was not helping me make any rational decisions - but we came to an agreement that we should probably pass on this outing. I know turning down a young MTV Hottie?? We agree now we ARE Crazy!!
We of course google him right away when we get home to find out his full name is Evan Starkman and he was on the Real World Road Rules Challenge.
It sounds like he speaks at local colleges now about sexual health and the dangers of alcohol . He also has a clothing line where half of the proceeds go to charity. Sounds like this young hottie has things together!!
Here is a plug to his T-Shirts
http://branchoutclothing.com/
So it wasn't JT... But we did find a nice Canadian boy who couldn't help him self to a few nice Southern Stewardesses.. Bless His Heart!

News Flash:
FBI: Soccer team members help subdue man on flight
Buzz Up Print OKLAHOMA CITY – An American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles was diverted to Oklahoma City on Friday after a passenger stripped nude and later tried to open an emergency exit door before being subdued by members of a professional soccer team and others, the FBI said.
Members of the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer were among those who grabbed the passenger near an exit door, FBI spokesman Gary Johnson said. Tie wraps were placed on the man, whose name was not immediately released. He was taken into custody in Oklahoma City and placed under psychiatric evaluation, Johnson said.
American Flight 725, a Boeing 757, arrived in Oklahoma City at 1:35 p.m. CDT and was back in the air an hour later, said American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith. It landed without further incident at Los Angeles International Airport at 3:13 p.m. PDT.
Craig Tornberg, the soccer team’s general manager, said he confronted the man as soon as he saw him emerge naked from one of the plane’s restrooms.
“I said he should get back into the bathroom and put on his clothes,” Tornberg said after the plane landed in Los Angeles. “He said something strange to me. He said, ‘I don’t hear you. I don’t see you.’ ”
Tornberg said the man complied and got dressed but a few minutes later “made a beeline for the emergency door.”
Tornberg said he, assistant coach Gwynne Williams and Michael Burns, the team’s vice president for player personnel, grabbed the man and forced him into a seat while a flight attendant tied him up.
“It was strange, but when he put his hands on the exit door – that brought it to another level,” Burns said. “Clearly, he wasn’t thinking straight.”
The pilot diverted the flight to Will Rogers World Airport where the man was removed.
“He was taken into custody by the Oklahoma City Police Department and taken to a crisis center for a mental evaluation,” Johnson said.
Shortly before the incident, Tornberg said he saw the man, described as clean-cut and in his early 20s, crying and “talking a lot of gibberish.”
The soccer team was on its way to Southern California for a game on Sunday against Chivas USA at California State University, Fullerton. Its members were among 151 passengers and seven crew members on the flight.
As passengers left the plane in Los Angeles, several indicated they had taken the incident in stride.
Gillian Callaghan, who was traveling with her 12-year-old son, said she never panicked because the flight crew seemed to keep things well under control. She said she felt sorry for the man.
“He was just having some troubles, confused, not a scary guy,” she said.

We Have A Bleeder!
Well I have a good excuse I promise.
I sliced open the top of my middle finger...hence hending my ability to type! I am way behind on emails, comments and blogging its disgusting.
This lovely disaster happened last week about 1 hour prior to my trip-check in time. I was reaching behind me in my make-up bag not realizing my razor (of it felt like 8 blades) did not have a lid on it. Plus it was sticking straight up and scooped out a ton of my flesh instantly leaving me screaming. I hurled over and saw blood getting all over my shirt and ran for a wash cloth. It felt like within 1 minute the whole thing was saturated with blood. I removed the cloth only to see blood pulsing out and that's when things got a bit blurry.
I looked down at my chest and I was covered in sweat and I started seeing black dots everywhere. I lost my hearing (odd huh?) for a few seconds and felt faint. I freaked out. I was alone and about to pass out. I reached for my phone and called my mom and I laid down in the floor. My mom started freaking out (she knew I was by myself but felt the need to ask me if anyone was home only like 10 times) and finally I felt ok enough to stand back up and find something to wrap my finger in.
1 hour went by and it was still bleeding. I had to go to the airport and check-in (it was to late to call in sick) so I figured I'd go check in then talk to a supervisor about what to do next. I make it to the airport and my whole arm was shaking. Not to mention I couldn't look at my finger or I would get that queasy feeling all over again. I walked up to the supervisor desk and he said "Oh GIRL Oh My GOD..Let me get Sally!" He called over to Sally and she said "Give me a minute I'm busy" They he yelled out in the crew room "WE HAVE A BLEEDER!!"
By that time the whole crew room of flight attendants were around me asking what happened and asking me why I was at work! The supervisor wrapped up my hand and sent me to the doctors office where I got it cleaned and cast up - Then a tetanus shot.
Meanwhile - Life is hard without the use of my middle finger. No wait - Not like that ... Washing my hair with one hand is no fun - Re-Wrapping my finger every 3 hours is No fun - and my typing ability is horrible. But hey - At least I still have 10 fingers!!
So for those of you still checking my blog and seeing the same old stories - I beg for your forgiveness and know as soon as I can take these 5 bandages off of my finger I will be able to type again at somewhat a decent speed (and without hitting 2 extra keys every time I press one with my middle finger!) I'll continue my blogging.
Until then - Here is the Moral of the Story
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS PUT THE COVER BACK ON YOUR RAZOR. ALWAYS.

Oh the Places You Will Go..
I usually do not post my personal pictures here (and it will not become a habit either) but this one is to good to pass up. This is my nephew over the weekend. As soon as he gets strong enough to pull my crew bags...that baby is going places!

My Texas Treat
So I haven’t disappeared into a black hole this past week - I’ve disappeared into the time-warp of my hometown. Of course, never being discourteous to my small town old life but I’m realizing I’m addicted to the jet set life maybe a little more than I would like to admit.
What a week. Lets just say this - In the past 6 days I have slept in 5 different houses and tonight being no different. (Yes girls, just friends and family….) I have literally lived out of my roller bag all week long and the funny part is, I haven’t been at work! I’ve been going non-stop all week and the peculiar thing is I can’t wait to get back to flying where I feel my time will slow down a bit. Its hard having so many social engagements!!
The first part of my week I made a very fun trip to Texas to be with two of my favorite girlfriends. I got to Texas and the first stop was a Spa party at an incredible chic house owned by my best friends, friend.
We got pampered from head to toe while enjoying margaritas by a pool. It was a “girls only” party so between the indulging in beauty products/body pampering, the margaritas and the endless talk of men…. I was in girl heaven. Plus my two very close girlfriends were right beside me never leaving me short of banter.
The pool/spa party ended and off to do the next most conceivable “girlfriend” thing to do…. A “Sex and the City” movie viewing.
That’s right we dressed up in head to toe couture and took the town of Longview, Texas by storm. You would have thought we were strolling down the Champs-Elysees in Paris with our trendy designer duds on, instead we were crushing the Longview, TX boys hearts with our high heels and dresses.
Sex and the City was great and our dinner afterwards was quite the experience ( chicken in Antarctica…right?). We stayed up until 4AM talking like giddy school girls and took some fun pictures to go along with the nights charade. The next day we might as well been Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte (yes L you would be Samantha..) eating at a chic Asian restaurant where the girl-time continued. After lunch we finished off our short-time together with a few shops including one of the local favorites “Dressing Gaudy.”
Overall the food was superb the shopping entertaining the party fierce and the girlfriends… irreplaceable.
It just goes to show you even if we aren’t strutting 5th Ave in New York (which we have been known to do…) we made Longview, Texas quite the event and worth every minute I spent there.
Unfortunately, being a JSS its hard to always find time to meet up with my friends in all the different cities they live in. I have such a long list of people whom I need to be flying in to visit its hard to find time to fit it all in. So making it that its not an everyday occurrence it makes me appreciate and relish what a true bliss it is to be in the company of such authentic faithful friends. I love you girls and this weekend should have proved JSS dedication to making even a 2day girl party happen in a moments notice! (B, I don’t miss parties..next time I expect an invite weeks in advance!)
FYI
(hey girls remember when we were asked to go to our "happy place" mine included this...
and this 
and these
