• First things first - party went well. Of course, many peeps are at the shore and didn't go but that's fine. I "get" it. However, that one that lied and said that they weren't in town and I found out they ARE in town - yeah, karma will kick their butt. 'Sall good.
• Secondly, my "errands" were miraculously cut in half. Those in the know will be happy to hear that I found a few contenders and am heading out to look at a few others.
• I didn't get to go to the Italian Market this trip but since I'm heading back in November for my birthday, I'll go then. Meowmix is going to be quasi plannin' this sucker but let's just say it will be a small gathering at my fave spot and that's that.
• Manayunk - my fave section - has a spice market and gourmet kitchen store. Are they trying to make me cry? Try finding parking in this section of town. As it is, I could always park at the Bourbon and walk up but they have the Parking Patrol aka the neighbors that scream when anyone parks near there.
• I was in Manayunk "doing errands" and met a police officer that HAD MY NAME. How funny. Turns out he knows Suz as well and as part of the Big Cuff Debate, he said he carries one set but that's because Manayunk is beyond safe and he's on a bike. However, when he was working in another district, he carried THREE sets of cuffs.
• I have a doozy of a story that I was made privy too. However, it's going to take time to write to protect the guilty. Let's just say that the whole weekend has been a constant ongoing revelation of "What the @*@*@*? Seriously, I mean SERIOUSLY?" among our core group.
• Speaking of - my crew rocks. Jas, OurBuddy, and CK came out to support. I totally *heart* them. We all hung out later for a bit and it just really was too much fun. However, Jas has be drinkin' Goose straight and oh lordy - pass the aspirin.
• One of my fave people ever, EC flew in from Florida for this. Love him. Also our gal Am and Heather were there. Those gals are too much. When Heather came out and said a quote that our old show floor producer would say, I about lost it laughing.
• Catching up in Am's hotel room later, we found out a whole bunch of mess. OurBuddy was not so happy. That, in itself, made me sad.
• I don't understand men who have this whole competition factor. Totally don't get it.
• I was tres sad that Reese was not there. I totally understand but she was missed more than ever.
• The club we were at - *ahem* - we won't go there. Let's just say that when they can't make a captain & diet I *ahem* wasn't happy. However, my bitchin' got me a Blueberi Stoli and Lemonade. It wasn't Anthony quality but it had to do for the time being. And the drink prices, seriously - I mean seriously? To quote Jas "I'm OFFENDED". That boy knows what a shot of goose should cost.
• Our DJ, MM, that boy rocked a set. However, 4" heels and DJ booths are non-mixy things.
• Oh - I learned one vital lesson: Don't drop your blackberry in a sink. Its still drying out and we've got the Morris Day OUOUOUOUOOOO issue again. It's back in critical condition but I have hope it will pull through.
• Cab Driver saw me and thought "Ohhh - tourist". OHHHH NO. I opened my big azz philly talkin' mouth and schooled that mofo correct. The Westin and I are going to be talking at length about it. It was 2 blocks over - he drove for 8 blocks. WTF. I could have walked there quicker.
• My co-workers are going to HATE me for the next month. My philly accent is back with a vengence. I said one thing last night and I had to take a step back. It was hella strong. When it's that strong, it can be annoying as hell. They'll deal.
• I about died when a friend of ours got up from the table the other night and said "Lys, you are NOT going to Jersey!" Talk about throwing a gauntlet, no? The look on his face said it all. My crew - always lookin' out for a gal.
• However, when it comes to lookin' out, sometimes they can be quite the blocker. It's hard to explain but it takes a while before I'll bring a new boy around some of these cats. I have a bunch of big brothers.
• I love my city - seriously. It's great to be home. And seeing the signs laid right out makes a gal see the writing on the wall. I have so much clarity about my situation that it's giving me the willpower to head back to Orlando and deal with that mess and figure out whats in store for me in 2009.
• Meowmix said it perfectly "You need to be where your heart is". Clearly, my heart no longer resides in Orlando.

And how was YOUR weekend?
