Look what happened now...
Ready, Set, Jet!

Flying into Florida. (I took this, btw)
Hey, You know I am not one of those cool travelers that just wake up, showers and end up in Asia or has someone send them off to NYC via LA. As I said before I really do NOT like to Travel...I like to ARRIVE. Meaning I like to be there, but actually traveling (for the most part, I aint gonna lie) is torture. So, you’re thinking why on earth do I do it? I don't let the hassles and discomfort STOP me from exploring. But as I said in the beginning I don't consider myself the "cool traveler" who mysteriously ends up traveling the world with a backpack, $2.00 & ends up partying with royalty. Well I had some adventures with some interesting people, but that’s another story boys and girls. This rambling post is about REAL PEOPLE doing REAL travel. I was/am following someone on Instagram that is biking across Italy. I thought how cool & how daring, woman ALONE doing this..wow. :0
Her pictures were good, a little too good actually. (I’ve been there and done close to that- I walked/drove around) So as I was browsing the other day saw a post showing the van (with her name, picture and website on it) that followed her through the Italian countryside. It looked like it had a bathroom & prob. hair & makeup people."WOW you go girl", but that is not authentic travel, now is it? The van was nicer than most peoples house in some of the villages in southern Italy she biked by (but no judgment). All I’m saying is I’m not that kind of traveler. I take the train, mostly. I have a budget, ALWAYS. I have to stretch my travel money, but I also want to be somewhere nice, comfortable & safe. I travel because I must. I love to read about places and then I WANT TO SEE THEM FOR MYSELF. I always wanted to see Pompeii. Watching it on the Discovery Channel was cool and all, but really? Stop showing the same thing over and over. The place is Fucking HUGE. We walked ALL DAY. It was a 7 hour walking tour! And you know what else? The guide did it in a lovely dress & channel mid size pumps. NOW that's ITALY! Ok, rant over.. Thank you for reading this & coming back day after day. I do try to "keep it real" and tell the truth about travel as a average person experiences it.. (FlyingSouthwest is like being on a Jerry Springer show, really.) :X Catch you later- Hello! Hope you are well. Seems like the week went by quickly..I'm not sure what I did, actually, (besides work) but I'm glad its the weekend! I was supposed to attend a 4th of July Party, but just was too tired. I did go visit a few folks though, but no Movie Night this week. I told them I needed a break. Thursday/Friday did a short road trip. I really miss not having the time to just get in the car and go explore. You never know what you will find. I wonder how the J. Witness's get around it? Cause I'm sure it doesn't stop them. So speaking of exploring randomly... I just recently started doing 4square. Am having fun discovering things on it. We have gone to a few places I would have not found without it. I look forward to what hidden gems it will show me in Europe. My Badges are for Food & Books...mostly. LOL SUPER ADVENTURE! And I managed a little shopping this week.. This is a really pretty Larimar set. I already own some Larimar, but since it is a very limited supply stone & all I figured I better purchase it while I can. Did you know when its gone its gone? It is found only in the Caribbean. So VERY LIMITED SUPPLY. The coloration varies from white, light-blue, green-blue to deep blue. :D I needed more "water" as I have too much "fire" energy. It seems to be helping + it's pretty. This next picture is of "fire" stones, lol (Below) But they were marked down! I only buy real stones in Sterling Silver or Gold settings. I really don't like plastic or fake jewelry. (Plus it is worthless.) :( Why buy junk, even if it cheap? And I followed the pizza tradition for work.. We had Pizza Hut at the office before the holiday. I forgot to take a picture until it was almost gone, lol. But am glad everyone enjoyed it! And a new supply of beauty masks arrived from Japan. :D I did a TON of online shopping this week. I MUST have new clothes for Vegas, right? Right? So hopefully they will start arriving soon. (I'm excited, can you tell?) I still need to get some new jeans and a couple of cute jean shorts and a sundress or two...Maybe while I'm in Austin. :D
Rick is in LA this weekend. So I am looking forward to a quite weekend of reading and sleeping...Exciting much? LOL :X Catch you Later- Bonjour ! BON VENDREDI À TOUS ☀☕☀ So how was your 4th? It was fresh from the valley & really juicy. Love, love, love! So I'm still exhausted from last nights fun. But no time to rest because now I'm off for a roadtrip adventure. :0
Hope you have a great weekend! Talk soon- So Hey- Aren't these cool? Ok, gotta run I have watermelon to eat and tofu hot dogs to BBQ! :D
I will try and remb. I have a camera, lol See ya later- Happy 4th of July! Hey! Just a Quick note ----I'm up really, really late.... Because I'm off today. Yippeeee! :D
Hope your 4th is enjoyable & accident free! Usually there are Many, Many fires around San Antonio, TX as people light up the fireworks (and their roofs, neighbors houses, fences, etc.) Hopefully it won't be too bad this 4th. This time last year we were in *Rotterdam :0 (Is that right?) Watching fireworks from a boat. It was a celebration of their history ?!? Not for the US..but same day, WTF?? It was a very cool show. But of course at night over the water, is the best place to watch fireworks. *ahhh how I miss it! I think we will be in Paris this time next year...so we shall do something memorable while here. I'll post our sparkler pictures later, I promise...lol More later- Goodbye June, So long & it's been fun. (I guess.) But How can it be July? WTH?! As I sit here "masking" and drinking a nice cup of tea, I wonder how so much could happen in such a short time? It's 1:10 a.m. and the 1st down time I've had since the dentist. To recap the month is almost impossible. :0 Most things I can't blog about, at least not YET. Maybe later... But still a lot went on. 1st "Thank you's" Let me say "Thank You" to all the nice people on Pinterest who have started following and liking my BS. Thanks! ;0) I am not sure who those 104 people were who re-pinned that, but cool. Thank you to the people who have stopped by to read the blog. I just purchased the domain so my data reset, so thanks for looking for me and continuing to read my silliness. I do wish you would let me know what you want to read about, though. Am also surprised by the results of how many people read the "about me page" and then snoop on line to try and find out where I live, who I am and who owns the site. Come on, I live on Earth, with you. Do you think I'm your neighbor or Math teacher or your ex-girlfriend? WTF? Rick keeps going on and on about, "You can't tell them when you are in France. They will just all come over and rob your house!" Yeah, I'm sure they will carpool to Texas. How hard could it be to find me? WTF?! Sometimes I think he needs to be on meds.... And speaking of blogging & drugs... And Surviving this... And Surviving this: My mouth is almost healed and ready to start the next round of dental work. (I had a capped, root canal tooth break off, *OMG* and then had dental surgery to remove the roots, for those that came in late.) And needless to say it was unexpected... And I still managed to host MOVIE NIGHT 2 X in June. We are all trying to eat more raw, healthy food. But one woman wants us to Fail, cause she always brings junk & lots of it. So maybe she can stay home next month? Don't even get me started... Received my 1st ever Vegan snack box which I did not share on movie night... Had a few nice dates and some fun family time. Plus Some wild ass dreams while on meds. and started thinking about changing my life again. Funny how being ill does that to you. And generally worked too much. :( Its late, more stuff happened and I am too tired to look for pictures.
Oh yeah ~ I booked a few days in Austin and a cruise. Which I am sooooo excited about. More as it gets closer, but I gotta sleep now. Catch you later-
You ready?
*Warning Picture Heavy Post* I think I should include the word "Extravaganza" in the title, because this thing quickly got out of hand, lol. But she was surprised and we had fun so it was all worth it. Belle Oaks Inn B & B The venue was prefect. We could not have asked for a more laid back place. The menu, was ok. As I said earlier some of the girls asked me to cook a few special dishes and I really thought about it, but I really had no time so ended up having it caterer. At 1st it was just going to be tea.. Something elegant, but simple too. Something like this.. So this was kind of what I had in mind or something like this.. But the whole tea idea somehow flew out the window. :( Angel Cake This is what we ended up eating~ Sandwiches, pasta salad and birthday cake. It was a little melted before I could take the picture, but it looked nice. Really- And the table was very nice- After we ate & Ms Y opened her cards and gifts we visited for an hour or so. Michelle then offered to give us a tour of the house and gardens. Yeah! :D Then we went up stairs to look around the guest suites. I didn't take too many pictures of the rooms. I let the girls go on ahead and I returned a few phone calls (Yes, I really do work all the time.) But I was there for the balcony tour. It was very nice sitting up here. Next to tour the grounds. Ok, thats it. It was a really nice venue and everyone seemed to have a good time.
After the party we all went back to my office and visited another 4 hours. WTF?!? Finally they all went home, lol. More as I get to it~ |
