...airline upgrades. I got the notification that I had been upgraded and was all

But then, "ma'am can we get you a drink? A bowl of warm nuts? A dinner roll? A cheeseburger? A hot delicious smelling cookie? Are you sure you don't want some wine?"

Aaaaaaaaah!! But I just sipped my water. Weigh in better be good tomorrow!

Yes but you had a bigger seat and more room
If you go back to accepting all of those "freebies" all your hard IP work will be for naught

Very true. I am just so terrified of having to go through Day 2 again that I just won't cheat.

warm nuts?

I can relate! The only plus is that as freebie airline upgrades have become more rare, I'm less and less concerned about scoring the upgrade! I'd usually rather have seat in the bulkhead or exit row anyway. Quite often there's more space than in F. And on the off chance that I get upgraded and my DH doesn't when we're traveling together, I can act supremely generous and give him the upgraded seat.

Oh, and when I do get the upgrade, at least I can get plenty of sparkling water.

Yeah...I should have ordered sparkling water with a lime. Then I could have felt like I'm drinking my favorite pool-side drink: vodka, soda, with lime.

EPAPRN - I giggled when I typed "warm nuts."

that's where I am right now and it's killer

enjoy your upgrade oj
