Yes, just 5 days after returning from a cruise, I hopped on to another vacation. Although, this one was slightly more business related. My best girlfriend is a massage therapist, and she was hired to travel to Palmetto Dunes on Hilton Head Island, to massage 19 golfers before/after their tee-time and play. I was along for entertainment and to keep her company. I suppose anyway. We had no idea there would be 19 guys there, and that we'd be the only women in the group. However, they were perfect gentlemen, and we were given the Master Suite in the main rental house on the resort property, for our accomodations. The bathroom was as big as my kitchen. May I just say I was impressed? Whilst the lovely massage therapist was busy doing business, I hung out with the dudes. Over the weekend, we played Texas Hold 'Em Poker, Euchre, sipped 23 yr old rum (Ron Zacapa, OMG it is good), sipped wine (I brought my own stash), and puffed on some cigars. They were apparently impressed with my gaming skill, and wordly knowledge of alcohols and cigars. I was flattered, and they were nice folks. It was good clean fun. During the day when the men were golfing, my friend and I hung out at the beach, shopping, went to see the "W" movie (which I do NOT recommend, it was not a comedy after all, at least not a very funny one), and discovered a wonderful style of cooking called "Gullah." We had the BEST crabcake I have EVER eaten at "Dye's Gullah Fixin's." Delish!

Overall it was a great weekend. I just wish my hubby could have been there to share in the fun.

It was a cryin' shame that I don't play golf. After this trip though, I'm considering taking it up. Expensive hobby though.

Labor Day - spent doing anything but

So how was your 3-day Labor Day Weekend? Here's a recap of mine:

Friday - finally got my nails done, toes done, the works. stayed home and relaxed with my sweetie pie.
-
Saturday - cleaned spider-webs off the outside of my house and screen porch while Matt blew leaves off the 3 levels of roofs (rooves? roofies? what the heck is the plural of Roof?), vacuumed the house, ran to the store for some last minute things, then we had a few friends over to catch them up on movies they hadn't seen - aka Super Troopers and Beer Fest. Much German beer and various kinds of vino were consumed during the evening. we also rearranged the living room furniture for best viewing pleasure. we liked it so much we are leaving it that way for a bit.
-
Sunday - slept in late, cleaned house, made appearance at a friend's pool party in time for some grilled fish - delicious!, Matt got burnt, I got a nice tan, went back to house to relax and cool off (it was f'n HOT out there), then went to PP for a friend's friend who was visiting out of town. I mean who needs a reason to go to the PP anyway, just go! Hit TC for some bean & cheese Nachoes on the way home. oh hells yeah!
-
Monday - still couldn't shake my massive headache that I had all weekend, so hubby gave me nice backrub, foot rub, and I spent the whole day in my pajamas watching Gustav news, Family Guy reruns, and lastly "The Bank Job" movie, and ordered Chinese. It was a good weekend. yes the headache finally went away.

Can we have another 3day weekend soon? I need another one. seriously.
