Welcome back my friend, to the show that never ends…

I'm so glad you could attend.  Come inside, come inside. *

I've been so very un-Voxy for the last week.  Part of it is that I've been "busy" but most of it is that I've been lazy.  Last Friday, Kiddo, Lovey and I headed north to the beautiful city of Port Saint Lucie where we spent 3 alcohol filled days and 2 drunken nights partying like rock stars.  (No alcohol for Kiddo, or at least no more than a sip out of my glass.)

Upon our arrival, Friday afternoon, we proceeded to check out our room (King size bed! Thanks Shawne!) that was adjoining with Kiddo's.  We opened up our curtains to find that our balcony overlooked the "fitness pool" (only named that because it's by the gym) and that happened to be where everyone was hanging out for the weekend.  The beauty of it is no matter how loud it got at the pool, the doors were so superiorly soundproof that we couldn't hear anything.  As a matter of fact, I certainly didn't hear my friends yelling for me to come down to the pool and "stop fucking" as it was so eloquently put when Lovey and I were spending a little QT.

We spent a lot of time hanging out in the pool, having beers and catching up.  It was certainly good to see so many of my friends that I haven't seen in a few years.  All my brothers and sisters from other mothers were there.  It really was a family reunion.

Kiddo was completely stoked to hit the flying trapeze.  She spent a lot of time over at the circus and they were kind enough to let her participate in the flying trapeze show. (Video to be posted later.)  She begged me to come over to do the show as well, but I happen to remember what they force you to wear for that show and I was in no mood for a one piece purple leotard.  After the trapeze show, Lovey joined us in the theatre for the second show.  Kiddo wanted to sit right in the front which is never a good idea at a Club Med show, but I let her pick the seats anyways.

Of course, there are always audience participation numbers and with one of my best friends Anthony running the number, Lovey probably could have guessed that he'd be getting pulled on stage.  I don't know who was under more pressure, me or him.  My friends were razzing me about his dancing skills before he even got up there, being the dirty girls that they are.  I told them that it didn't matter what happened up on the stage, there was a reason I disappeared on various occassions. 😉

Lovey did a spectacular job and was a super good sport about the whole thing.  I have to order the pictures from that one, but those won't get posted out of respect for Lovey's shy side.  I'm so proud of him for actually getting up on stage and then proceeding to do a great job.  It was all in good fun and I think he kinda expected something of that nature to happen anyways.

Another entire day of debauchery flew by and before we knew it, it was time to once again bid farewell to all of my Club Med buddies.  The good news is that plans are already in the works for the next reunion.

We spent most of the day Sunday just unwinding from the rest of the weekend, watching football, and listening to more football on Sirius.  I always at least get to hear my boys play even if I don't always see them.

Monday brought an appointment that I'm not quite ready to talk about yet.  If I haven't already jinxed it by sharing it with two people, I'm hoping it still comes through.  By Monday evening I'll know if the jinx held or was broken and then I'll fill you in on the whole story.

To tell the truth, I don't know what happened to the rest of this week.  I woke up today and it was Friday.  It's also payday, yippee, and to top it all off, today is Lunch Bunch where the company gives you $20 and teams you up with 4 or 5 people from other departments and you all grab lunch together.  It's a neat idea.  Let's you meet folks you might not have otherwise met.  The company isn't that huge or anything, it's just that people tend to stick to their departments.

I guess that's it for the recap.  I'm still working towards getting my business off the ground and I've been wanting to write a book for a while now and this morning, the perfect title and format hit me so maybe I can get an outline down on paper sometime soon.  Thanks for visiting my ramble.  Have a wonderful Friday and a kick-ass weekend!

* Please forgive if I rearranged the words of the song to make them fit what I wanted to say.
