An Oasis
Today I had to run some errands. I needed to take care of some personal business and pick up a couple of things for my friend.
And I got an extra special added treat. I got to have lunch with the beautiful (but directionally challenged) SarahK.
How lucky am I?
Now, you have to keep in mind, I lived in Orlando for a little over a year. I was an outside sales rep in Orlando off and on for over 5 years.
Can I tell you how lost I got trying to find the resturant we were meeting at? About an hours worth of lost - and it ended up being about 4 miles from where I flippin' started.......
What I should have done was ask her if there was a furniture or mattress store anywhere near it. THEN I'd have found it in a heart beat.
The funniest part - is she couldn't talk me in. At all. It. Was. Hysterical.
I haven't laughed that hard in well over a week.
But I made it. And she waited. We had a very delicious lunch and a wonderful chat. Ok conversation. Oh heck - we were sittin' there gabbin' for well over 3 hours. And weren't done yet - but had to get back to our real lives.
Thank you SarahK, for a wonderful afternoon. It was exactly what I needed. I just wish I had more time to write up more of the stories. ;-)

When you said I-4, i assumed you would take I-4 east to 528 east to the jumpoff street. i suppose i should have asked, "Tammi, are you on your way to Tampa right now? Fancying a swim in the Gulf, are you?" ;-)
but i told you right off the bat, i don't know Orlando. i know how to get from my house to Disney, Rachel's, and Chipotle; and from Rachel's to Chipotle. and that's about it.
talk about the blind leading the blinder.
i had a wonderful time today. i'm so glad we met up and totally failed to look at the clock for 3 hours!

YEP, doing Tammi Time is always worth the wait! Glad you had a break & treated yourself.
you're still in my prayers.
