I want to start my blog with the funniest thing I heard this weekend. A friend in NYC posted on Facebook, "Father's Day...the most confusing holiday in Harlem." Lol! Too hysterical!
Happy Father's Day to every dad! I wish I could be with my dad today, but unfortunately that's not possible. I'll see him in August when I go home! We can celebrate then! ;) I love you, dad! Thank you for all that you do! Dad's hold a special place in a girl's heart. She is his everything and she looks up to him as the kind of man she wants to marry someday. I'm so proud to call you my dad--you're the best!
Friday was a co-workers birthday so we went out in Ft. Lauderdale. And it was fun! We did a bit of a bar hop. We went back to our friend's house and I woke up at 4:30 a.m. to drive home. I had a Comcast appointment at 8 a.m. Yea, bad planning on my part. So, I get home and just fall asleep.
I wake up to a phone call from Casey, the Comcast guy saying he'll be at my house in 15 minutes. This was at 7:30 a.m.! Eek! Too early! I just fell asleep! So, I think to myself, I should probably change my clothes. I will in two minutes. Two minutes turned into me hearing the knock on the door. Crap. Oh well, I thought. These cable guys are always old and overweight. No big deal.
I open the door and guess what? He's not fat, nor is he 60 years old. He's a 26-year-old, Italian Stallion. GO figure! I just start chuckling to myself. "Come on in," I say.
"Thanks," he says. "Did you go out last night?"
Me: "Yea....I did."
Ha! How could you tell? Could it be that my hair is a hot mess, curls sporadic all over head? Or my eye make-up is streaming down my face? Or that I'm still in my sequin tank top and hot shorts? Or that my glasses are half way off my face? Could be all of these!
So, he's fixing my Internet and we're just talking about clubs and going out and what not. He then proceeds to invite me to a bbq! Haha! And talk about small world. His roommate is the manager at a restaurant that our company just signed on! And he's the old manager of Chow's! The place I always tell you about where ladies drink free Wed. and Fri. I know exactly who is roommate is! Crazy, huh?
Needless to say, I fell back asleep until early afternoon. Saturday was pretty low key, until I had to go to work. Story of my life. I had to go to the club I always work at to prepare for the fire performer. That's right, they have a fire performer. So cool! She was fantastic! She lit a sword on fire and put it on her head, while then proceeding to go into the splits! Outrageous!
Sunday was fun! I laid out by my pool for a whole 45 minutes! Then the sweat dripping down my body was pooling under the chair beneath me. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but the bottom of my feet were burning! And of course I got tan. I have to get tan! We have some really big events this week--I have to look primo! ;)
Then I go to watch The World Cup--Brazil vs. Ivory Coast. I was watching it with a bunch of Brazilians! It was so much fun! Needless to say, I was surrounded by a rowdy bunch! And let's talk about the Ivory Coast for one second. Feisty! Rawr! They got violent the last few minutes of the game. But Brazil won! The Brazil team is absolutely beautiful! The guy that got kicked out the game? Whew, please! Put a stamp on him and mail him to Boca! ;)
So, I go to Target tonight to get a highlighting kit for my hair. My hairdresser in DSM is pretty much the only person I trust with my locks. But I won't be home until August and I need help now! So, I thought I could do it myself. I call her and basically she tells me what an awful idea this is. Agreed. My luck, I will turn out with purple hair and black streaks or something.
Tonight is a relaxing evening of watching a movie and eat more southern food--sweet creamed corn and shrimp! Mmm.... I hope you had a good weekend!
Note to self: Have a productive work week! Work hard to play hard! ;)
Enjoy a couple of commercials I find hysterical!
