Once in awhile, I try to sign into Facebook from my Google Chrome browser and I run into problems. Why is that? Of course once I try to sign in a couple times...it becomes a problem for the whole friggin day. I wonder if it is just my computer or if it is the network. Either way...it is a pain in my arse. Uggggh!!!
On a lighter note; last night was not shy on events. I arrive at 6:50 to start my shift and I am greeted with a less than cool thing. This is obviously not a lighter note...lol! So, I had this customer whom I have known for 2 years come in a couple weeks ago. I was told not to run a tab for this guy. Some how I fell into 'stupid mode' and ended up running this guy a tab. Of course there were serious consequences to that. He ran out on his $150 tab. My boss decided yesterday (pay day) that he was going to deduct that tab from my wages. Naturally I blew a gasket. I flipped out and eventually got my boss to give me 2 weeks to collect this money my way. If I don't get it inside 2 weeks...it will come off my next pay. FACK!!!! This level of brutality is very hard to swallow. I feel like I need to recruit some big mo fo's that will go and find these assholes and get my money back. This is not the only guy who owes the bar/me money. It sucks! I have gotten a little bit smarter in that I have my own policy now; NO MORE TABS. But....I still have to deal with the pending issues. Ugggggh!!!
I really had to do a mind f*** on myself to shake off my anger. I did it!!! I was able to really move on when this couple came in. They are truly one of my favorites at the bar. They always make me laugh and always lift my spirits. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Mr. Hotty; the kid was in last night. I told him about my blog. Of course he doesn't know very much about blogs to begin with, so he had some trouble understanding what I was talking about. No matter! I probably should have kept it to myself anyways. He and his bff are really quite darling. The kid's bff is always asking me out on a date. In fact, he made me a proposition last night. He said; "let me take you out!". My reply was; "What would we do?". He said; "It's a surprise!" Ha!!! He continued with: "If the date sucks, I will give you a $100!" LMAO What do I do about this? At the end of the night Mr. Hotty asked me for my number. EEEEEKKK! I gave it to him. In the back of my mind...I am confident that he will never use it. I think it's more of a pride thing just to have it. Not that I am trying to toot my own horn but it seems pretty realistic if you can see it from my perspective.
Today is Friday!!! YAY!! Tomorrow I am going to see Hunger Games with my sister. OH YA BABY! Super super jazzed for that. As for Sunday, it is booked to be my day of rest. Fingers crossed that nothing comes up to interrupt that plan.
Have a great weekend folks! xo P

6 degrees of separation....feels more like 2. Whoa!!!!
I have to say that life is interesting. It really is! Just when you think things are getting a little boring...life comes along and sends you a blast of shit for you to chew on for awhile. I think I have enough to chew on for awhile. So last Saturday I partied with a bff and her friends. They are a couple that happen to live kitty corner to me. This couple and I have much in common and I am happy to say that I have made new friends. YAY!! During our chats that night, this couple and I discovered that our circles of friends have crossed paths. In fact, they are currently friends with 2 of my best friends from elementary school. Of course these bffs are no longer my bffs simply because we moved apart and in turn grew apart. Never-the-less...it was a treat to share our stories. Well...this is how small the world is; last night I went to a Zumba class. Guess who walks in? On of my bffs from elementary school, also one of the girls that the couple and I were talking about just 5 days ago. I haven't seen this woman since grade 10. How old are we in grade 10? Like 14? So it's been like about 17 years. HOLY MOSES!!!! What a trip!
This girl/woman...was as shocked to see me as I was to see her, naturally! We ended up chatting for a bit after the class and decided that we had to get together for a drink sometime. It just so happens that she is still bffs with the other girl whom I was bffs with in elementary school. I will hopefully get to see her too. AHHHHHHHHH...so wild!
Another dose of 'interesting' came last night. I went out on a pub crawl with my boys; Ace and my bff who's in town from B.C. We hit up 3 bars and tapped out after 2 drinks at bar #3. It was my time at bar #3 that was sort of remarkable. I ran into 2 of my sister's friends. One of these friends was seriously dating a bff of one of my past bffs. I hope you are following...lol. Well, what that means is that this friend of my sister's...knows my ex bff really really well and as such...had a lot of updates for me. I guess it is important to state that this bff and I simply grew apart. There is no bad blood between us. In fact, I would love to catch up with her one day. Of course this couldn't be any easier a task seeing as she manages a bar 3 blocks down the street from my bar. Ha!!! Go figure! So why this is all so special is because my ex bff's brother has frequented by bar a few times. This was a special event all on its own. The first time he came in I nearly shat my pants. I always thought he was a friggin knock out...he sort of blew my mind. I was totally flabbergasted that he was not only at my bar, but that he was in the neighbourhood. Wild! So we shot the shit and it was at that point I discovered how close his sister and I work from each other. He comes in again...and this time we really get to chat. He seems to me to be doing very well for himself and this is just that much more appealing to me. So we chat and chat and chat. In my mind, I am thinking this guy is awesome. Want to see him again. Then last night happened.
I will confess, 3rd party updates can also be construed as gossip. But we were all super close for a very long time and as such...I genuinely wanted to know how my ex bff and her brother we doing. So when I got the news from my sister's friend....I was shocked to say the least. I am not going to get into the details. I think the bottom line is that I learned we are not always who we say we are. Of course no one wants to share the life's dramas either. In this case...Mr. Hotstuff...brother to my ex bff...is not going to be a man that I seek out.

Who knew?
What a day!!! It went from super chill to super warm...gotta love it! Can this warm weather please stay for good?
What is on my mind today? Hmmm...lots! I had to see my ex yesterday because he wanted a book back. I was anticipating something different than what had actually transpired. The thing about me is that I can get over shit. Maybe I take a little time in doing so but at the end of the day...I do...get over shit. Yes I was totally furious with the guy for awhile but it has been almost 5 months since we've broken up and since then I have relinquished all the negative vibes and feelings I had about the guy. Seeing as I had done nothing wrong...I can't really tell why he was...and is angry with me. So...we met up yesterday. We both get out of our cars. I greet him with a smile and ask how he's doing. His reply? "What is it to you?!! Ha! Ok...civility is not in his vocab. Fine! We don't have to be friends. We don't even need to be nice. I should say, he doesn't even need to be nice. No skin off my back. But it doesn't end there. He decided to send me a couple emails explaining his actions. His response was one that suggested that I am full of shit. Ha!!! Once again, there is no need for me to defend myself or my actions. How can a simple question like: How are you? be construed as a bad thing? I am not too sure. Either way it doesn't matter. He now has what he's been asking for for ages in his possession. There is no need to have any further discussions. Chapter closed for good!
I have been waiting PATIENTLY to see the movie Hunger Games. I told my sister it would be just her and I going when she is ready. OMG...it's been almost 2 weeks now since it came out and I am dying to see it. She has said that we will go this Saturday. We better!!! I have been hearing/reading conflicting arguments about this movie and its worthiness. I am taking it in as a grain of salt. I read the book. I have a vision. We'll see how the movie fairs.
I am experiencing something odd as of late. I had to reduce my hours at the bar because it was seriously affecting my daily productivity with my real estate business. I was working 4 shifts a week and I took that down to 3 shifts a week a few weeks before I went away. I have no narrowed it down to 2 shifts a week starting this week. It feels so weird. Granted I wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed every morning. I have way more energy for the day. But...I feel a void. I am torn. I almost feel like I want that 3rd shift back. Ha!!! It feels weird to be done the working day around 5 and then have a whole evening to do whatever. I am used to working like an idiot and now that I am not....that feels weird. Not too sure I like it! Will see how this week pans out and will re-assess next week. Next week I am also only working 2 shifts. If I can't shake this feeling of feeling under-productive...I will get that 3rd shift back. Will keep you posted!
That's all folks! xo P

Blogger update
Not too sure how I feel about this! Of course you guys can't see the new layout that this program has but I think you should know, I am not that great with change. Ekkkk!!! Just a sign of the times.
So...how is everyone today? Awesome! Good to hear! I am doing well. Did an awesome workout this morning. It wasn't my usual one on one with my kick ass trainer. Today I did a zumba class at my trainer's house. So fun!!! We'll see how I feel tomorrow.
Last night I had one of my bff's come over. He's the one that lives in B.C. He's home for 2 weeks. So very exciting. Such a treat to see him and spend time with him. Naturally, we had much to catch up on. He had more stories than I did...so most of the evening was listening to very detailed adventures that he had enjoyed over his time abroad. I know I have said this before....He is crazy!!! But I love the kid and can enjoy his stories. Good times.
So, I am having repeated problems with my bathtub drain. I wonder if it is because I shed SO much hair. Could it be? I think it might be so. I have used 2 big jugs of Drain-o since I have moved into this apartment. Today I will start on my third. Ha!!! It is crazy. I think if I participated in a natural process, which is to brush one's hair, that I might not have this problem. Hmmm!!! Just a thought!
So I am catching up BRIEFLY with an ex bf. He's been reaching out to me to get this book he lent me back in the day. I didn't actually ever read it. My sister's husband was interested in it and so he read it. At least someone got use out of it while I had it in my hands. I was debating this situation for awhile. He's been trying to get it since December. I think I am finally able to look at his face and not have hard feelings about that. Ha!! We'll see!
With that said, till tomorrow folks! xo P

Deep thoughts!
So I was browsing through my Facebook news feed. I have 'liked' the Twilight page and such I am bombarded by Twilight information everyday. I happened to click on a picture of Edward Cullin from the first movie. Man...he was so so so hot back then. I sort of lost the captivation over the years as each movie came out. He lost the mojo that had me reeled in. I feel like he got to be too Hollywood...not some dark, forbidden, hot cool dude. Shit happens!
While checking out my past obsession, I am also constantly reminded of my sort of new obsession; Tom Hardy. His face is plastered on my desk top. Yum! I have a small problem. I am in love with Hollywood stars. WTF am I going to do? LOL I want to be a Hollywood star. Maybe! I think I have a little Hollywood in me...which means that I need to meet a man whose a little Hollywood, like me! WHERE IS HE?????
For the most part, I do not duel on the fact that I am single. I am not having a bad time. In fact, I am having a brilliant time with my life. I won't deny that sometimes...seldomly, I wish I had my life partner. Ugggh!!! The shitty part about flings/one night stands is that it gives you temporary satisfaction. Granted, that may be all one is looking for. It's like eating chocolate. You eat it. You ate it. You're over it. The comfort, the sweetness, the fabulouness that only lasted minutes (in the case of chocolate) is so short lived...you wished that flavour would last longer. I mean, you can't keep eating chocolate all day all night cause you'll get fat but you really wish you could. Well...in terms of flings...I wish the minutes/hours of companionship would last a little longer than an over night. I guess what I am saying is that I wish I had a reoccurring fling. Maybe! I am not totally sure what I am asking for! LOL
I need to stop watching; Say Yes To The Dress! That show ALWAYS makes me cry!
I had a great weekend. I worked Friday night. Saturday I worked all day. Saturday night I went out and partied with a bff and her team. Great folk! I actually...for once in a VERY long time...went dancing. I had a brilliant time. I really ought to get out there more. It really lifts my spirits. Yesterday was my first real day off since I got back from my trip. I had a kick ass omelet for breakfast and then Chinese food for dinner and then....chocolate covered almonds as well as macaroons. MMMMMM!!!! It's sort of a great thing that I have a Bulk Barn around the corner from...and it is sort of bad thing. TROUBLE!

Cradle Robber...as bad as Man Eater? Tough one!
LOL!!! So there is this guy/kid that comes into my bar. He is 19 years old. He is GORGEOUS and absolutely delightful. I have a huge crush. I am laughing to myself right now thinking about my night last night. It was Karaoke night at the bar...brilliant night as usual. In fact, this night was better than most. Why? It was relatively quiet. This is usually a bad thing but not in last night's case. I got to really spend some quality time with my favorite customers. They love it and I love it! Not to mention, I got to sing like 5 songs....almost unheard of.
This kid comes in with his posse which consists of 2 brothers and another guy. They are all awesome and they are so good to me. Back to the 'kid'...lol! Did I mention he is mind blowing hot? Uggggh...makes me sick. LOL! I told him he should seriously consider modeling. He's tall, fit and has a killer smile and everything about his face/body is perfect...from what I can see! I think he took me seriously for all of a minute because only a couple weeks after I said that to him, he went and got a tear drop tattooed on his face under his left eye. My first reaction to that was not a good one. He did go on to explain why he got it...and I get it. He is still a knock out with it...but there goes the modeling career.
Moving along, so....I think the crush can be said for the both of us. He is always making quips about 'getting' with me...lmao! I repeatedly remind him of our 13 years age difference...and that he is a customer of mine. What is my #1 cardinal rule? Don't date customers. Of course, I don't expect that I would date him. With that said...what would it be? Booty call? Ha!!! What can a 19 year old show me? Ha!!!! LOL
Last night I was so on verge of dismissing every rational thought I had. This kid was going balls out with me....sneaking a kiss on my cheek hear and there....he was pouring on the charm and uggggghhhhh....YUM!!! This is bad news folks. BAD NEWS!!!
Big sigh!
Rational thought here: Of course I know NOTHING can come from this and of course I know that I could NEVER entertain anything with this kid....but it is friggin painful holding back. I could devour him whole. I really could! Is this a life challenge? A test? Are my angels challenging my will to refrain from giving in to temptation? I would give up chocolate for a year if that's the case.
Well folks, that is my dilemma for the day. Any suggestions are welcome! xo P

Falling behind!
I promise you, I always feel like I have failed myself when I don't write my daily blog. I feel like I am missing something very important and that feeling sucks. To my defense, I was battling a brutal cold and doing my best to get my work done. I only had enough brain power to get my work done and then I had to tap out.
On Tuesday this guy comes in whom I haven't seen in, oh goodness, a few months. He is not a regular nor is he even a customer really. He has only come in 3 or 4 times and that was only to see me. We met at a party that one of my customers had last year some time. He is a nice guy. He is determined to say the least. He has relentlessly tried to take me out on a date. I have always bailed on him. He is a nice guy, put together, works hard, intelligent, kind and definitely has charm. Why did I repeatedly bail on him? This may sound shallow...but I was not attracted to him. So on Tuesday he is chatting me up and tells me he is moving to Calgary on Sunday. Hmmm!!! Ok!! He wanted to try one more time to see if I would go out with him. LOL!!! This time I said yes. We had arranged to have lunch on Saturday but in the back on my head...I can anticipate that my work will get in the way. So, I suggested we go see a movie last night. We did! We went to see 21 Jump Street. LOOOOOOOOOOVED IT! My goodness....I almost peed my pants a couple times. Aside from being totally in love with Channing Tatum...this movie was HYSTERICAL! Highly recommended. There is a huge surprise towards the end of the movie. Can't share what it is. You just have to see it!
Are the plans to have lunch with this guy still on for Saturday? Yes...unless I have to work of course. Then he leaves on Sunday to Calgary...for good! Not sure what else to write about that.
One of my bffs is coming home today! YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! So friggin excited. Haven't see him in ages. Miss him lots. I expect to catch up with him on Saturday seeing as I am booked to the tits till then.
Back to work! xo P

Boyz in the hood!
It is confirmed...my sister is having two boys. LOVE IT!!!! It was so funny to see the ultrasound. Aside from their perfect little bodies, you see this tiny little extra member hanging between their legs. Can't help but laugh. LOL!! I am going to be an aunt to 3 boys. I am over joyed at how fun this is going to be. Can't wait for them to get here. Seems like they will join the world at the end of July. Yippie!
Today I am battling the beginnings of a cold. I can only hope it does not escalate to anything major. Fingers crossed. Aside from feeling slightly groggy, I have had to pay some attention to working on my taxes. What a terrible process. Life used to be so easy when working with a salary. I really took that for granted. Now that I am self employed...makes everything SO MUCH MORE difficult. Uggggh!!! I think I have things under control. I guess we'll see when I find out how much I have to pay the government at the end of it all. Uggggh!!!
So last night I went out with my dear friend 'Ace'. What a treat! We went out for dinner and then watched what I think is probably the silliest movie of all time; Jack and Jill. I realize Adam Sandler is a comedian...but my goodness...that movie was terrible. Of course I fell asleep half way through and when I woke up at the end of the movie, my first reaction was to say that it was good. Ace laughed at me! Good times!
Random thought; I love the Bulk Barn. LOL!!! Ace and I ate all of my Wasabi mix crackers/peas and all of my chocolate covered almonds that I had bought from the Bulk Barn. It is amazing the savings that you get from buying shit there. Ugggggh! Blows my mind. I think I bought the Wasabi mix, chocolate almonds, dog biscuits all for $10.00. Incredible. Obviously I am going to have to go back since Ace and I polished off my stock. All good though...can't go wrong for that price!
Well folks...speaking of food, I am starving. Going to have some lunch!!! Till tomorrow xo P

So nice....
I had an amazing sleep last night. I am still sleepy...probably because I was dreaming so intensely but at least I was having a wonderful dream. I dreamed about living on another planet with an established human society where I was surrounded by amazing people and amazing sights. Sort of felt like I was on the beach while I was in Uruguay but on another planet....weird but cool. I dreamed that I met the man of my dreams. He was absolutely amazing. It was quite something to feel that way about someone...sad it was only a dream. Sad that that man only exists in my head.
Hmmm!!!
Anywho, I got my new furniture everyone!!! YAY!!!! So friggin happy about that. Uggghhh, if you only knew how beautiful my room is now...I could just become a hermit and stay there all the time. Tell you what, if I ever win the lottery, I am planting myself in that house for a few days...lol!! Granted, if I won the lottery, enjoying those fruits of my labor would no longer be priority. Well, you get the idea. It was a tough day yesterday. Woke up at 7:30 to start and then tried to get back to sleep just to get woken up again by The Brick's delivery people telling me when they were to arrive. The came late morning. I had so much cleaning/tidying/organizing to do that I wasn't ready to set up any of the furniture till early afternoon. I got my family to come over and help me set things up. I happened to choose a bookshelf that was very avant-garde. This meant there were MANY pieces that needed to be put together in a very obscure manner. I think it took my stepfather and me about an hour to get it completed. All good though. It's done and looks brilliant. Also, I got a new bed.....yuppers!!! Let's hope this one can take the heat...LMAO!!!!! Jokes!
I have a big big week ahead. The highlight however....will be tomorrow morning. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I am going with my sister to find out the sex of her twins. I am shitting my pants with excitement. I will share with you this; I am sort of veering towards my sis having 2 boys. If she has 2 girls...that's awesome too. I don't know. I think I do better with boys. Of course I am not the one having these little munchkins but hey...I am the aunt and I am going to be looking after these little nerds too. I should have some say....right? LOL!!!! I will love them no matter what they are!!!
It's a great day folks. Hope you get to enjoy this fabulousness that we are having. xo P
Big sigh!

So much to do!!! EEEKKK!!!
I am tired!!! LOL
I know I just had a 9 day vacation and I knew that things were going to be hectic upon my return, but my goodness; what a load?!! Aside from looking after my business, I have a lot of events that I am preparing for AND...I am revamping my room. I have always wanted to update it with new furniture including a new bed frame, new dresser, new book shelves and such. Today I went out and bought all of that at The Brick. OMG!!! So friggin exciting. YA BABY!!! I can't wait to see everything in place. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! What this means is that I have to dismantle the old bed frame and toss it. I have to do a heavy duty clean before all that stuff arrives on Sunday. Do I have any time between now and then to get that done? Not really!!! LOL I am going to have to hustle and use every friggin minute that I have to complete all that needs to be completed before the delivery Sunday. Then...once all is done and settled...I am going to celebrate...lol!!!
I guess part of the reason why I am sort of spent already is because I am in a lot of good post -workout pain and I haven't been this busy in 2 weeks. It was expected...I am not complaining...just saying!
Tonight is my first Thursday back at the bar. I am excited to get back to my singing...YAY!!! Plus, I miss the crowd that comes on Thursdays. Should be a great night...if I can get past the pain in my legs and ass. I wish you could see how I walk...lol...cracks me up!
I am sort of frazzled with all that I need to do...so I am going to leave now and get going! Till tomorrow xo P

Holy Moses....
What is up with this weather? I mean, I am definitely not complaining. I love it. I feel like getting in my bathing suit and basking in the sun, keep up my tan. I actually did sit in the sun for an hour earlier today drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes with a bff of mine. Haven't seen this one in ages. Was such a treat to spend some time with her. Missed ya Lady!!!
I know I said I felt icky yesterday. I also said that I expected that icky feeling (headache/stomachache) to go away while working out with my trainer. It did!!! In fact, after my workout I felt like a million bucks. Did I tell you...I love my trainer?!!! Granted I had fallen behind on my cardio which meant that I had a harder time with the workout than usual. All good though. I am in some wicked (good) pain today. Can barely walk. It makes me laugh when I try. Not to mention, I have been sporting my new platforms. Not the most opportunistic time to be wearing these things but my rationale is; no pain no gain. I might be on the verge of toppling over...(again...makes me laugh) but hey...at least I would look great doing it. LOL
I spoke with another dear dear friend of mine today, the one that lives in B.C. Miss him so much. Got some great news, he's coming home for Easter. YAYYYYYYYYY!!!! Can't wait. Once again he had some pretty awesome stories to share and once again, I told him he really ought to write a book. I don't know a single person who experiences these kinds of events like he does. Such wild and incomprehensible things happen to this guy...really is too much. What a nut case!
I am not going to go back outside and enjoy the sun for a bit.

Yuck!
Not feeling so hot today. Hmmmm!!! I have a headache and my stomach is upset. Hmmmm!!
I had an active morning and I have a very active afternoon/evening and night. There really isn't much I can do about this today. Hope it doesn't escalate into something more intense. I already popped some Advil for the headache. I am hoping it will help with my stomach pains as well. If not, I am sure my workout with my trainer in 1 hour will camouflage the shit for awhile. Ha! Can only hope.
At least the weather is fabulous. YAY!!!
Tonight is my first night back at the bar. I am genuinely excited about it...if you can believe that! LOL I miss the action both good and bad. Crazy...I know!
Just a thought...my nose is super dry. It hurts because it is so dry. It has been so dry for a few weeks now. I thought my trip down south would have changed things...but it didn't. Hmmm!!
My tan is fading. This sucks! I have been seriously contemplating hitting up the fake and bake just to keep it up. Haven't made up my mind about that yet!
I need to lay down.
Till tomorrow xo P

Te Quiero!!!
Home sweet home! It's been 2 weeks since I last posted a blog. I honestly thought I would be able to squeeze something out while abroad but...I was mistaken. All good though!
I arrived yesterday morning. Spent a few hours with my parents shooting the shit. I then went home to unpack but ended up having an hour long conversation with my neighbour. We have always exchanged pleasantries...but yesterday was a full on in depth conversation. Fascinating. From there I went to visit with my fabulous family; sister, bro-in law and nephew. LOVE THEM and missed them a lot. Just because I had to, I then went out for a couple drinks with one of my bffs and a friend of hers. Had an amazing time.
Because my trip was quite tame in the way of partying...I was feeling like I needed to get a little crazy last night. With that said, I am nursing my (mild) first hangover in 2 weeks. A job well done! LOL
So what can I tell you about my trip? It was nothing short of incredible. I missed my Dad so much and to get to spend as much time as I did with him...was a pleasure. From the day I arrived till the day I left, I was bustin ass. I had 4.5 days in Buenos Aires before we (my Dad, stepmom and myself) went to Uruguay's Punta Del Este to visit with my aunt and uncle and for some beach fun.
My time in Buenos Aires was all about family. I did end up going out for dinner almost every night with my Dad's friends; some of whom I know and some new ones. I always meet such fantastic people every time I go there. Such a treat. I did do some kick ass shopping as well. Man o man...I bought a dress for my cousin's wedding this spring. It's killer!!! Bought some 'knock 'em dead' shoes as well...x 2!! LOL I did also spend some time poolside working on my tan. It was a trip dedicated to tranquility and rest. I got just that! I started my days out with a coffee and media luna (a smaller version of a croissant) followed by a time out in the sun. From there I either caught up with some family for lunch or went shopping. Let's not forget that I did go to the military shooting range for some good fun with Dad. Check it out!
I got skills....LMAO!!! I wish you could see close up. You would be able to see that I shot up this guy's private parts. LOL
As I mentioned earlier, I went out for dinner almost every night. In fact, I think there was only one night in my whole vacation that I did not eat out at a restaurant. That one night my Dad made a killer paella...mmmm! Just thinking about makes my mouth water. LOL Here's a pic for ya;
I have to tell you that one of my vices is Dulce De Leche. If you don't know what this is...it is sort of like Caramilk but WAY better! You can eat it by itself or with things like fruit or a crepe or ice cream or whatever. It is amazing no matter what you do with it. In my case, I ate it with strawberries. MMMMM!!!
After my brilliant time in Buenos Aires....I went to Uruguay's Punta Del Este. This place has officially taken second place in favorite places of the world. I WILL buy a house there to have as a summer home....one day! Mark my words. It will happen. Aside from being just mind blowing beautiful, it has such an aura of brilliance that is just calling my name. I plan on sailing there as often as I can whenever I get my boat. LOL Take a look and see why I feel this way....
This view belongs to a terrace at this notorious hotel/museum place called Casa Pueblo. I will stay here one day. Was thinking about booking this place for a trip I am planning with a bff for 2014. Oh ya baby! LOL What makes this place so magical is that it is a peninsula located on north east corner of Uruguay and totally surrounded by water. The northern portion of the peninsula is ocean side and thus a little less quiet than the southern side which is facing the river that divides Uruguay from Argentina. Please note....this River is ginormous. The pic you see is of the river side...wild, no?. I spent the 4 days that I had there with my aunt and uncle. My Dad and stepmom stayed in a hotel. My aunt's is house amazing, full of charm. It is all open concept on the main floor with panoramic views given by floor to ceiling windows...I am hoping to buy it from her one day...if she doesn't sell it before I can get it. Fingers crossed! LOL
And so my friends...my 9 day vacation in South America has once again been off the charts. I am so so so fortunate that all I can do is be thankful. I want to say thanx to my Dad and my Aunt and Uncle for making this trip as amazing as it was. LOVES!!!!
