Tammi's World

How Tammi Got Her Groove Back

What a great F*ckin' day....seriously. This is one for the record books.

Let me see if I can do it justice.

Started out takin' Cuz to work and heading south. As I come up to the Sunshine Skyway it just takes my breath away. It always has. Even when I crossed it every day. Today, the water was dancing.....the white caps waving at me. I saw my islands. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.....

I had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in almost 6 years. We went for Mexican. Really GOOD Mexican. We had such a good chat.

Then I decided to head to the Island. My friend is a bartender out there and I thought I'd surprise her. Boy did that work out. I walked in the bar....and let me just say - my GOODNESS what a view she has every day. Wow. Anyway, I sat at the end of the bar and waited. She finally got down there and I just told her I wanted the best damned margarita they made.

As she screamed my name, every head turned. It's good to know someones that happy to see you. But here's the weird part, after we get done hugging and she starts to make my drink (which was a GREAT margarita btw) I hear my name. Again. My full name. Being said by a man. I turn and look and holy cow. It was a guy I dated long long time ago. I hadn't seen him in almost 10 years. And let me just say...holy moly.

Anyway, turns out he hangs out at the bar one his off days, he's a bartender down at the other beach bar, so the three of us chatted the afternoon away. And....get this. I.....have a date. Only *I* would come BACK to Florida and run into an old beau and end up with a date. Monday we'll be spending the day boating around the inner coastal and then heading to my friend's house for dinner.

But here's the funny part. I didn't realize I had a date. Not til he left and J started givin' me shit. She actually had to explain it to me.....that's just sad.

Anyway....after that I headed a bit farther south to spend the evening with The Birthday Girl and her DH. It was fantastic. We had a new invention drink - really REALLY good.....ok, a few more than one - the best take out Chinese I've had in forever and just the best all around evening. I'm thinkin' there's a chance she may post a picture or two.....

It was a great day. Almost perfect. AND...get this....it's just day one. Things keep goin' like this and who KNOWS how good of mood I'll be in.

I haven't been this relaxed in longer than I can remember. Wow. Day One. I can't WAIT to see what tomorrow brings.....
