Key West trip recap (finally finished it!)



So Shall I recap the trip? You know you want me too! It was chock full of wonderful Nanny moments... and one for Linda too!

1:As You all can see from the lovely picture on St Patrick's Day Nanny decided to have a drink at 10 am at the Chili's in the Fort Lauderdale Airport. Yes this is quite amusing but how she g
ot the big fun drink was funnier. Since the first thing my family looks at on a menu is the drink section of course this is where we started... However this menu only had the "fun" drinks on the back along with what Chili's likes to call sidekicks. Which Nanny thought was an actual drink and ordered a sidekick of Grand Marnier. (no clue how to spell it) Well Kerry and I had to explain that it was a shot and not a drink. So this led to her getting the shot AND the big fun drink. Where upon she drank a few sips and then declared...

" mmmm... This is good...."

and proceeded to dump the grand marnier shot into it. Mind you this is after she took one of her anxiety pills for flying!


2: Key West Family!!! Always a good time especially since they rag on us like they just saw us yesterday.... "Hey Kerry didn't you go skinny dipping with your cousin?' and "hey Kelly did you pass by the Navy Base?" Glad I am here to amuse you guys... If you keep reading this blog you will get much more stuff to rag on me for!

We head back to our hotel where we proceed to get a cooler and drink poolside even though it says not too and there are two children under 15 months old there. So we are all chit chatting and drinking and swimming (because they always mix) and we have been ragging on Nanny and Tom, (background for all who don't know. Tom is my grandfathers sisters husband, Tracey and Shawn's dad, not KW Shawn, and well since Shawn and Janice's wedding they have had a little flirtation and we have pics to prove it!) SO I need to go back to the room where Uncle Tom and Nanny are "watching" JP and knock on the door. No answer. I knock again. No answer. I can't hear anything so I pound on the door (which JP's room is next too) and still no answer. Well after about 5 minutes but it seemed SOOOO much longer. Nanny finally answers the door and says

" I thought I heard someone knocking."

Hmm.... what were Nanny and Uncle Tom REALLY up to? We'll never know because they both declared that they talked about them being companions and they will never do it. However they will still kiss for the cameras just to get a rise out of us!


3. After a fun day of grilling and sitting in the sun and playing cards at Tracey and Shawn's and thanking god I was not preggers or had a child so that I can still be the irresponsible twenty-eight year old I am, Linda decides she wants to go Downtown. Let it be known that it wasn't me who decided this! So I ask her if she is sure and she says Yes. So we head downtown and go to Sloppy Joe's , cant' come to Key West and not go there. Nothing special about it but it seems to be a tradition now. So I get a beer and Linda gets a Virgin daiquiri. Fun times. We listen to the band and watch the poor white trash families with the fat mom in a bikini and her kids watching her have her 4th drink.. "You have a Baby. In a bar."
Anyway, after a beer we head to Irish Kevins because its just fun. Think Jimmy PlunkettKey West style with a little less 80's music and yelling at people on the street. Good Times. Now we get in there and Linda and I are having a blast and I am thinking that the dirty song this guy is having the girl sing is SO wrong to be listening to with your Mom. So we get a table and have another round and that's when Linda notices the Shot girl. Linda watches "shot girl" walk around a few times and then we proceed to have this convo.

Linda: "What are those"
Me: "test tube shots"
Linda: "Oh. What's in them?"
Me: "No clue"
(I ask shot girl and then tell Linda)
Linda: "Sounds good. You should have one"
Me: "That's okay I am all set."
Linda: "How much are they."
(I ask Shot girl)
Me: "$2"
Linda: (sliding $2 my way) " Have one"
Me: "Are you trying to live vicariously through me?"
Linda: laughs
I take the money and do the shot. Linda looks at the test tube takes it and then proceeds to lick the rim of the test tube.


4. JP had fun and didn't stop moving.

5. Did I mention JP was there.

6. Oh and Caroline was there too.


Not that anyone cares about the last 3 but I think it is funny because we have about 50 pictures of JP and like 4 of everyone else.

Random Thought

Okay..so I was reading bricks today about how Nick ran into Adam Levine..and I started thinkgin...
Okay, so you believe that you shouldn't have sex until your married. You wait, get married, have sex (i would hope) then get divorced. Do you then keep your beliefs and don't have sex again unitl you're married..or are all bets off???

Failed Already

hmm..can lent start next week? I've already failed miserably at this. I am a failer..not a failure..but I am one that fails at certain things..not like a full blown failure..cuz i'm good at some stuff. Apparantly..making "resolutions" and sticking to them is not one of my strong points..Perhaps I'll change it to "i will not GET drunk during the week" yah..that's more realistic ;)

Giving it Up for Lent

The genius that I am has decided to give up drinking during the week. I know..that seems like common sense to most people..but not to me..or Kelly (sorry to throw you under the bus lady!). So there, that's what I'm giving up for lent. I have decided this because I have a small wine hangover and lets all face it-it SUCKS feeling like this at work. I don't want to do work, I want to stare at my cubicle walls and sleep with my eyes open. And for the life of me I can not get that new Shakira song out of my head "i'm on tonight my hips don't lie and it starts to feel right" seriously, as I typed that I was chair dancing. Nice.. can't work, but can function well enough to dance in my chair to the Shakira song in my head...sweet. Shakira Shakira! Okay..I'll stop now :)
Moving on.....OMG I can't..now I'm whiteling the song..WTF...Shakira has been embedded in my head...and I can't find the song ANYWHERE to listen to it. Oh, actually, its on her website...more fun whisteling and chair dancing.

AMENDEMENT TO MY LENT THING: I will not drink during the week, unless I'm on a date or something..you need drinks for those..plus i don't want to look like a lame
