Since I’m compulsive about things I can’t go straight to the best story of my trip… I have to do it in order.\u00a0\u00a0 So\u00a0 in the interest of NOT torturing all of you too long the next few posts will be about my recent trip to Orlando, Florida.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was actually a business trip for work and I was accompanying the boss (who’s my mother… added restraint!)\u00a0 But I was determined to try and get any moment where I can feel like I’m on vacation.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kim (who I’ve been trying to get together with for GNO with my girls in L.A.) was there & said, “Yeah, lets go out.\u00a0 Meet us by the pool.”\u00a0 So I go and meet her peeps who are all colleagues but “I’m on Vacation!” so for a moment we forget that we work in an industry together and bond as people.\u00a0 And just when it starts to get fun, (i.e. all about me… so you know…within seconds of me hitting the group.)\u00a0 we feel a few drops.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then a\u00a0sudden little mini-storm rolls in and dumps water all over me.\u00a0 One minute a sexy goddess with a drink bouncing waist deep in a pool… the next a wet puppy who can’t see past her water logged classes and her running mascara!\u00a0 Oh, it burns… it burns!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At first it was just like Club Med and we refused to get out unless the Lifeguard told us to.\u00a0 Of course then the lightning and thunder began and he said, “Everyone out.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We dash for cover and Kim screams… party in my room.\u00a0 So I check in with the boss, wrap my dry clothes as best I can and squish my way back to the hotel.\u00a0 It is by now POURING.\u00a0 Wet puppy is now drenched puppy. \u00a0I dry the best I can once in the hotel lobby\u00a0and hand the towel to the waiting crew who have mops!\u00a0\u00a0 Off to the elevators\u00a0I squish in my bathing suit because I am not going to wet my clothes by putting them on.\u00a0 And hey, I work hard to look good in this suit… and besides its only breastfeeding frumpy ladies and married men.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(The next day someone said to me, “Oh, you’re the girl in the bathing suit!\u00a0 And I’m all, hell girl there are tons of people in suits how can I stand out to be remembered like that.\u00a0 Then I realize, I’m entertaining all in the elevator ride with\u00a0 the prequel of THIS blog.\u00a0 Just what I do… entertain every stranger there.\u00a0 So I’m surprised I’m memorable?\u00a0 NOT!)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway… I get to Kim’s and her roommates asleep, so I say, Party in my room its empty.\u00a0 She says sure after a quick shower.\u00a0 So I pop in one myself only to get a text from her (yea.. my text works!) that a nap is calling her.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And GNO is once again delayed!\u00a0 It was delayed the night before because as we gather with my mom the talk always turns to business.\u00a0 For hours!\u00a0 Even with drinks!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

But I am undaunted!\u00a0 GNO does happen and wait until you hear it!\u00a0\u00a0 Juicy.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

But that’s for tomorrow’s blog.\u00a0 Hee hee hee.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
