Girls Weekend 2008

For the past two years my neighbor, Theresa, has organized a girls weekend and I have been invited to go. This year we went to St. Petersburg Beach. I am still amazed I actually went. The day before I left, my hubby threw out his back. But, he insisted I go. When I got there, I called to check in and found out my mother in law passed out in the bathroom. So, I was on standby. She was fine though, tried too hard to poop or something. Anyway, it is always a very interesting time when you get 12 women together for the weekend. I don't know if it reminds me more of a country song or a good juicy girl novel. How does this sound...."It was the best of times, it was the worst of times", uh I think that has been done.... what about, "I've got friends in low places...." No, been done too! We have so many different personalities, I'll just give you a few samples. Kim, don't identify them if you read this!!!

We have the party girls, never grew up and never will, Good Hearted Catholic Guilty Girl, Help me I can't stop dancing girl, I'll just watch while you throw up girl, I am on vacation don't bother me girl, I gotta pee girl, just one more beer girl, don't they have any quilt shops here girl, reading my book by the pool girl, and hey what are we doing now girl.....etc.

All in all it was a fun weekend. We found a great little store in John's pass called Old Pass Spice traders. I would LOVE to open up one of these in Ft. Myers Beach. It is a franchise, really cool, check it out on the web if you get a minute. www. oldspicetraders.com I was very good this weekend, I decided to drink just beer. If I drink wine or vodka, I poop out quickly, so the beer worked well. I stayed up till 11:30 Sunday night, Wow! I got home at 3:00 on Monday and napped till 6:30 though. I just can't keep up like I used to.

Cute little breakfast place we found.
