No more bachlorette parties the night before an early morning sales training class.
Harvey? You were right Dude. So much for an early evening. But oh, did we have fun.
I had a pretty rough day yesterday and ended up working later than expected. So, instead of getting to change clothes and be comfortable for our shindig I ended up wearing my work clothes. Key Point - my shoes were killing me. Anyway - I'm getting ahead of myself.
I got to the hotel right on time, and no one was there yet. Seems they under estimated the traffic. Hmmm, imagine that. Again - Does No One Listen To Me When I Talk?!?! So I had a Frangelica at the bar to unwind and sat outside smoking until they get there.
Can I just say I have some of the most beautiful friends on earth?! The vehicle drives up and out climbs 5 gorgeous blonds, dressed to the nines and all of the around 5'4. They looked like sisters. Gee, why did I suddenly feel like that spot in Sesame Street, One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong. Anyway - hugs and oohs and ahhs all around. I haven't seen most of the girls in 2 years. I asked for pictures of the kids, everyone got checked in and we headed to Wolfgang Pucks in Downtown Disney.
Yummy. I had the Pumpkin Ravioli Mezzaluna. Oh. My. Goodness. A couple of Appletinis' just made it perfect.
It was very pricey - but I'm the only one in the group that has to worry about that so I just sucked it up.
During dinner, with lots of laughing and stories and Remember when's I announced I wouldn't be able to go to Pleasure Island as it was so late and I had to be on the road by 7:00am. Can I just say that didn't go over so well. No, it really wasn't an option. So off I go, in the most uncomfortable shoes known to man and a tad bit over dressed in my cute little corporate skirt!
First Stop the Beach Club. OUTSTANDING. The band was playing more hard rock stuff from the 70's and 80's with some early punk threw in. Now I need to tell you, that while I've known these girls for a while now, the Bride to Be is the only one that knows me really well. I think it really suprised them that I knew all the songs, and after kicking my shoes off, still remembered most of the dances! WooHoo. BTW - that Bucket of Rum drink stuff......yummy.
The we headed to the Mannequins Dance Palace. It was all techno stuff, not really my cup of tea. But the people watching......wow. Yeah, that's about all I can say right now.....wow.
After that is was off to 8Trax with the 60's and 70's stuff. That was fun, but by then it was 2:00am and I was so tired to best I could do was sip my drink and bopped my head to the music.
We hobble back to the taxi and head out. They got rooms, I headed home. Hit the hay around 3:00 and the alarm went off at 6:00am. *Hopefully that explains the HORRIBLE typo's in my posts from this morning*
I hit the shower, realized I was out of coffee and just about called and cancelled the training. However, I am a grown up so I got all gussied up and pulled everything together and hit the road.
The training went fantastically. The sales associates were open to the new ideas, love the new bed and we just had a great day together.
Right now - I just got home and am heading for the couch. I've got another class tomorrow at 9:00am and I've got to get revitalized.
But last night was worth it. It was so good to see everyone. So good to celebrate this upcoming wedding of two people that I love so much. Yeah - I'm tired, but there's a smile on my face.
