![]() Diva's West Coast Road Trip
DAY ~1~ Alright........I didn't think I could POSSIBLY have anything to report on DAY ONE!!!!! ![]() Au contraire, mon ami. And I just have one word: MERDE. So. Let's see....where to begin, where to begin........ Ok....I had a few errands (three) left to do today before I left. I was planning on leaving around 3. PLANNING on it... ![]() I went for a pedi, first. She cut me! CUT ME! My toe hurts. However, I have purple polish, so I forgave her in my heart. ![]() Then I had to go to Lowe's and have a couple of extra keys made. So I went and did that. I got back in the car, pretty pleased with myself ~ even though it was past 3. (The salon was crazy wild and backed up!) I get in the car and think.....that's odd. Why does my car smell like wine? <breathed deeply> Then I thought.....did I take that bottle of wine out of the car yesterday???? ![]() I get to the bank and reach for my purse. ![]() It's not in the front seat. Now why ~ I asked myself ~ would I have put it in the back with my purchase? So I got out at the Drive-thru and opened the back door and my purse was not there. What?!?!?! There is no WAY I left it at Lowe's! Maybe I did...in the basket, as I left? So I tried to get back on the interstate to go back. There was a wreck. (Oh yes there WAS!) It seemed like it took me FOREVER to get back to Lowe's. I see my basket. No purse. Oh PLEASE let it be inside..... I went to the Customer Service Desk and there were 3 people in front of me. ![]() I MAY have skipped to the car. ![]() So....then I go back to the ATM. THAT was flawless. Then I get home and I open up the back of the van. The bottle of wine had knocked over in the [plastic] bag and rolled to the other side of the car. I guess in the process, it was SO incredibly hot in the car, the cork blew out and there was wine all over the back area of my van. All I could think was.....Jeez. I hope I don't get pulled over! Ok, ok....it MAY be mildly amusing now.....but that was a lovely bottle of Riesling. Wasted. Ne'er to be savored upon these lips. Grapes. Crushed for naught. Then I finished packing the car. Lucy was becoming nervous. She doesn't like to see me pack the car. She wanted to go, too. Off I went to San Antonio, 2 1/2 hours later than I originally planned. I checked into my hotel, freshened up a bit and took off for my daughter's restaurant! First, Boudro's is on the River Walk. So it's full of charm......and very San Antonio! I got to meet her favorite co~workers, including her boss, who was lovely. We sat and chatted when things calmed down. I got to watch my daughter work the table next to mine ~ an 8-top. I tried not to stare. She was so good!!! I was glad I got to hear her explanations, too. I was so proud I nearly cried. I had to stop myself because I know she would have been embarrassed. But she was f***ing amazing! ![]() I had this amazing sirloin....holy God...amazing wine.....she made guacamole tableside and I had some really wonderful wines. (They have their own wine cellar!) And to top it all off? Creme brulee`............MMMmmmmmmmmmmm!!! When I left (I was there 2 1/2 hours), some of the waiters came to door and waved and said, "Bye Mom!" They made my night! So i'm back in my room.....going to hit the hay in a few minutes! Tomorrow is Chapter Two: Las Cruces!! Last edited by Diva; 07-04-2011 at 11:21 PM. Reason: The font could be read by Helen Keller! |
