It Was A Good Day

Wow. Yesterday was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Ladies...if you haven't had a REAL facial, do yourself a favor and get one. Seriously. It's not just good for your skin, it's good for the soul.

Then....like that isn't enough, the Border Babes headed to Richmond's for some yummy goodness and some kick ass champagne. Oh, and drunken Wii.

Can't forget the drunken Wii.

My evening ended down at Fritz's. I'm going to be gone for the next month of weekends and the only chance I get to see my friend C is on Saturday nights. So, I went down for my first northern attempt at drinkin' and not smoking. In my mind the company and the conversation was MORE than worth it.

I had to laugh. We've had a year's notice that this was going to happen. A year to prepare ourselves. Instead, most smokers just kept their heads in the sand hopin' if they ignored it the law would never get enforced.

Well guess what? There's no smokin' folks. No matter how much you bitch and moan, you can't light up inside. Deal with it.

I pissed off a couple of folks but for the most part, the smokers I talked to agreed with me.

I look at it this way, we'd had this law in Florida for more than a few years by the time I moved up here. I was used to having to step outside if I wanted to have a drag or two.

Hell, I remember when I first came up here. I was rather shocked that I could sit down, have a sandwich and a beer then top it off with a cigarette. I figure this has been like a three year reprieve for me.

The big difference is there's really only 2 weeks of bad weather in Florida. Up here? Yeah, it sucks to stand out in the blowing cold and try and have a smoke. Kinda defeats the whole "I smoke to relax" line. hehehehe.

And it is gonna take a while for people to get used to this. I will tell you it was very pleasant sitting at the bar, sipping my wine and having a conversation without the smell and smoke. And THAT from a smoker. I can only imagine how the non-smokers are enjoying it.

But....back to the day. It was fantastic. What a great day for four ladies that needed to pamper themselves a bit. A big thanks to TNT, Richmond and KTreva for the good company. It's comforting to know we'll be doin' that again soon.

Really, we've GOT to get to that vineyard. I'm in serious need of some good wine!!!!
