Another trip...
The time has come to post about the latest trip.
I drove 3 hours by myself, which is fine, but I usually prefer to have company. Met up with 'the gang' about 1/2 way thru the trip for lunch. Then on to our destination.
Arrived, checked in to the hotel (after resolving some company credit card issues...gotta hate that) and went to my room. Had to attend a meeting. Gal-pal that was unable to attend the last trip was at the meeting and then hung around for a little while afterwards. Maybe she will be able to hang the whole time for our next outing.
For dinner we were shuttled to a local horse farm (where the movie Dreamer was filmed). Open bar and good food....and a chocolate fountain to die for!! Shuttled back to the hotel and made our way to the hospitality suite. Another open bar. Decided we needed to pay for our drinks, so we set out on foot to find a hoppin' joint. Not easy on a wednesday night. Eventually we found a place we could hang in for a while. Had a guy playing guitar. He was good, it was loud.
Met up with more members of 'the gang' and laughed so hard my sides hurt. Aside from the fact that we were having to yell to hear each other over loud guitar guy, there were movie lines being tossed around in a most hysterical manner. "C'mon Cletus!... you might walk over here, but you'll limp back....c'mon!" And then a bunch of 1/2 clad college girls piled in. Being amidst a group of males contemplating the best or most unique pick-up line involving a female's breastesses is enough to make anyone pee their pants. Truly a comical experience that I am glad I was a part of.
We stayed at this place until they literally kicked us out. Not because we were 'unruly'..but because it was closing time.
We all walked back to the hotel and all ended up in one room for more hangin out and beer drinking....and of course, tons more laughter. So much that hotel security made a visit to inform us of the "noise complaint" they had received. The conversation that followed THAT was almost more than my laughter capacity could bear. omg...i'm sitting here laughing as i think about it. ROFLMAO something about the next time there was a knock on the door and balancing on the cooler to get the 'pink eye' at peep hole level.. roflmaoooooooo
Just as we all thought we were ready to call it a night...one of the gang, we'll call him P, was laughing and suddenly said "OH!" and jetted for the bathroom....that's when S said "yeah, he just shit his pants" and we all hit the floor with fits of unleashed hysterics......omg...... i have not laughed so hard in a very very long time.
Somewhere around 3:30 a.m. my head finally hit a pillow. At 5:45 a.m. my eyes pop open like I have had a full 8 hours of sleep. So I get up and shower and begin a new day.
training sessions...blahblah....
C and I decide to create a new session to attend. We called it "Municipal Association of Leading Ladies" ....or..... MALL for short. HAHA That's right, we skipped out on some of the training and went shopping!! Didn't buy anything. Otherwise we would have went buying (as my illustrious cousin puts it). We did however walk the entire mall...in 2 1/2 inch heels. Not good for the puppies. Our dogs were BARKIN'!! I think mine even growled a few times.
Let's see.... um......oh yeah....dinner!
We were fed dinner compliments of an engineering firm. It was decent. The drinks were good. I highly recommend a Malibu Pineapple ;) The derby pie was the best part of the whole meal. I think C and I ate 3 slices between the 2 of us. It's ok though...we danced it off later!
Back to the hotel...I changed into my flipflops with the green fuzzies on the straps and then off to the evening festivities. Mock-casino and dancing....and another open bar. At some point I ended up on the dance floor doing the electric slide in my flipflops.....party on! We again close down the joint, so off to the hospitality suite (another open bar) we go. There was a big poker game going on there. Some dude fell asleep at the table with cards in hand.
Head hits pillow again around 3:30 a.m. Only this time, I missed breakfast.
Training session...blahblah....
Drove 3 hours home, to arrive an hour before the Friday night high school football game.
Guess what....another trip is already planned.... another 6 weeks away though. I can hardly wait!
