Boy do I have a story for you

But, you are going to have to wait, because I just came back from Orlando, were I been for the past 4 days among 2,600 woman (and a couple of brave -very, very brave, men) enclose quarters, tons of mental stimulation (and no ITS NOT THAT) and right smack in the middle of the happiest places on earth (that is a straight quote from the BFF) – CODE WORD: Fucking Disney World (lord.help me!).

While I was gone, something happen at home, something so funny and juicy, I need to really sit and give the story, its full attention so you, Internet, can fully laugh your head off.  But, let me give you a bit of a preview:  It involves, 2 squirrels, a chimney and lots of black sod.

I promise I will post it soon.  In the meantime I have to go and relax, wipe off the Disney World happy pill, and get ready for my mommy’s birthday (tomorrow). CODE WORD: Shopping!

So have a great weekend and come back soon.

And we are back!

… from a great, lazy weekend… we did what we set out to do… be lazy, totally and happily lazy.  It was the best weekend on many levels… first we found out that we do mesh as travel partners.. meaning that we could could actually travel on a car listen to each others horrible bad music without waiting to jump out of the rental car.  We also found out that we are both on the same page when it comes to the principle of a vacation… A vacaton full of Schedules… what the hell is a that?.. we are on vacation people, the schedule is made up by the mood one wakes up in!  And the mood was just to be lazzzzyyyyy.  We actually made a bet with each other in who could be lazier.  (It was tied at the end)

The hotel did not dissapoint, it was fancy and smashing and the lazy river pool?.. a huge hit.  With the Florida sun beating on you and trying to melt you, the fact that you could give the finger (at the sun above) by being on an inner tube with a tall cool margarita on hand and slowly making your way down the pool under a canopy of tropical trees… sure as hell beat anything that I could have planned on a “schedule”.

The show was just as good as the first time (when I took the BFF for HER birthday) and the BF loved the music and the whole goofyness of it.

And the BF first experience with Ikea… Overwhelming (his words, not mine)… he did get hooked on this pear drink called Kopparberg Pear Cider… I have to agree with him, the stuff was great!  Apparently we were not the only ones liking the stuff, because when we wanted to get more, they were all out.

If I have to choose the best part of the weekend? Knowing that there will be so many lazy weekend to come.

The rest of the week, I hit the airport, and I will be in Phoenix for a work related conference… they tell me the temperature is over 100 degrees down there now… I’m just wondering if the hotel has a lazy river pool.

No I have not been kidnapped

by the mickey mouse in O-town.

I actually been kidnapped by WORK

I barely been back and have clocked a total of 23 some odd hours at work and its TUESDAY… as in I have 3 more days of work left!

OT good.. long hours.. BAD!

Since I’m not going to bored you with what I’m doing at work to be clocking hours upon hours.. because you know its WORK and some of us may get sick just by reading the word WORK… I’m going to recap the weekend.

Which was filled with FUN and more FUN.

Friday we opted to visit IKEA, because you know I have not been there enough time in the past 3 months, seriously I getting embarrassed just by typing that I been there AGAIN. But, well… as some of you know, when one has an addiction, its hard to just stop trying to get it. So off to IKEA we went, where I promise myself, I would not get anything, I mean I have bought everything that I needed, so when I saw the container that would be perfect for storing my frosted flakes so they would not go stale on me I just could not stop myself and plucked the $3.95 at the self-served register. To balance things out, I also plucked down the $.50 for the cinnamon roll that had apparently just finished coming out of the oven, the whole cash register area smelled of cinnamon buns…and who in the right mind would pass up a just-out-of-the-oven-cinnamon-bun for fifty cents? Not me and apparently not the other 30 people making the line to get one. Those IKEA management guru know what they are doing.

So since the smell of those buns opened our appetite up, we jumped into the car and ended up at this place: BRIO and I cannot recommend it highly enough and that is saying a lot. I’m Italian, I don’t go to Italian restaurants for a very simple reason, the authentic stuff? We cook it a home. No need to go and sit and eat something that looks like pasta but taste like crap.

But this place? can we say wow! We sat outside in the veranda and after looking at the menu we finally settled on ordering the Bruschetta Quattro, which was a combination of their 4 types of bruschettas – Delish! We followed it up next with a Lobster Bisque, which was creamy, full of Lobster and just with the right amount of seasoning, the perfect part? The right size too. My sister ordered the Mushroom Ravioli al Forno – yum, yum.. and the BFF the Lobster Risotto. Of course after stuffing ourselves we ended up ordering dessert and since we could not pick just one, we ordered 3… again perfect, since they were the right size. So, if you are in Orlando… head over there and have yourself a great meal.

Saturday, we played with these:

Of course then we found the most funky strawberry ever:

and after a while we wanted to do a bit of this:

Afterwards we headed to the hotel to pretty ourselves up for a night about town (more on that later).

Because now I can hear my bed calling me and if there is anyone I love to kidnap me its my bed.
