Mike Ditka is staying at my hotel, as is Dr. Phil. I also know Jon Bon Jovi is around here somewhere — so help me, if I run into him, I will be the crazy drooling fangirl on the news whom security had to unclamp her legs from around his waist.
Just sayin’, watch the news. And wave! 😉
As if last night’s feast weren’t enough to give all of us a major case of the “blahs” today, T, J and I went out for breakfast. Mmm, salmon benedict. Lord. Is it a wonder that none of the clothes I brought will fit anymore? There’s talk of dinner at a favorite haunt, but argh, the work I still have to do. And besides, how could I go to that place if I can’t even digest the thought of eating yet again?
My digestive system is currently in rebellion. Dinner tonight at fancy-schmancy upscale French place with the gang. Could pronounce pretty much everything, as I took five years of French and all, but can’t remember it all.
Highlights: salmon ravioli (pure salmon, no pasta) stuffed with guacamole. Lamb shank plus lamb cannelloni. Eggplant caviar. Dessert a chocolate plate with chocolate sorbet, chocolate-caramel gooey cookie, chocolate brownies with anise and some other stuff. And neverending glasses of red and white wine. The one-word summary of the night: yummy.
I eat more on these quick trips than I do in an average month! Last night brought the best Brazilian barbecue in the world plus alcohol and way too much gambling. Lunch today: lamb (even more!) and tasty pomegranate limeade at a poolside cantina.
Tonight, I decided to be a good girl and passed on after-dinner activities as it is 11 p.m. and all. Just chugged a liter of water and wondering whether to take a bath with the signature sea salts provided for us or whether I might finally get my first night of sleep in three nights. Fucking drunken morons roaming the halls at all hours — even a Benadryl and Tylenol PM cocktail never manages to keep me asleep.
Off to watch the channel with the live aquarium webcam feed and curl up in a ball. *hugs corporate expense account, wonders why I spent so much time in nonprofit sector before this* 😉
