Howdy! So I know I've been absent for a little while - BUT for good reason - I was on a mini-vacay!! I went out to good 'ol Tejas to enjoy some great friends, good food & fabulous drinks!! So I'll break it down for you - prob in 2 parts. OH and I also saw Isabella in Philly - I'll do that first - ok I'm scattered!
Philly - The City of UNbrotherly Love
Let me break this down for you in bullets, so this post isn't like 8 pages long. Basically I went for the weekend - got in Friday night/left Sunday morning. Here are few takeaways:
-We went to this little hole in the wall Mexican place for dinner with my brother & his fiancé. It was hilarious - there was insane décor all over the place, they were playing Frank Sinatra, there was only room for about 20 people. It was hysterical. The waiter helping us had tinted glasses, hair slicked back, a white cowboy-esque type shirt on, denim faded jeans and a smile that wouldn't quit. About half way through our dinner a private party rolled through and they were basically kicking us out. The food was good, though and I had a fantastic grapefruit margarita!!
-Saturday was spent wandering around and shopping. Just loving the gorg weather on St. Patrick's Day in my Ireland shirt. UNTIL some homeless woman yelled this to me - in front of all of Philly - "YOU'RE NOT IRISH - YOU'RE A WHORE!" Oh ummm ok. So that was fun. God I just LOVE Philly!!
-We then went out to a bar to join the rest of the city in SPD debauchery. We got to the 2nd place and eventually got a few seats at the bar. It was great - we just hung out, watched people, drank some beer, had a few laughs. The perfect way to spend the evening! UNTIL some guy comes rolling up next to me and is immediately angry. Like before he even got to me, he hated my guts. This was our exchange (may be slightly altered - but no joke this is basically how it went):
Me: (sitting quietly drinking my beer - chatting with Isabella & her friend.)
Guy: I'm a male nurse.
Me: Cool
Guy: I work in the operating room and see heart surgery.
Me: That's great.
Guy: You don’t even know - I'm better than the surgeon.
Me: Oh really? (really not trying to engage or wanting to talk to him)
Guy: I hope have a heart attack die.
Me: Umm that's a little aggressive and unnecessary.
Guy: You don’t even know how great I am as a male nurse and in the operating room, basically I'm the best in there - above the surgeons & doctors.
Me: Ok - well I'm just going to drink my beer and pretend you're not an awful human being.
Guy: If you had a heart attack you'd be transported to my hospital because it’s the best.
Me: Welp I don’t live here, so there's that. Please just stop talking to me.
Eventually Isabella's friend stepped in with some choice words and he vanished.

-We were home, ordering dinner by 9:30 pm. Period.
-Sunday we got up, grabbed breakfast & went to drive me to the train station. Isabella's car wouldn't start. Womp womp - battery died. Had to grab a cab. Train ride back was uneventful.

Back in the good 'ol NYC
Giuliana & I saw 21 Jump Street when I got back. Let me just say - I basically peed my pants. Like I haven't laughed this hard in a movie prob since Bridesmaids. It was stellar. I actually have to go and watch it again because I’m sure I missed things on account of my laughter.
Off to Tejas I Go...Can't wait to see Hazel & Hermione (btw - this was her choice for a name)!!
I left Tuesday night. I was basically running through the airport for absolutely no reason and got to my gate in a full out sweat patrol. Oh don't worry - I just had to have my dermatologist prescribe me prescription strength deodorant (fingers crossed it works)! I grabbed some dinner and the off I went. I sat next to this high school/college boy who was quiet as a mouse - so I was thrilled! And I flew JetBlue, so I didn't even have to miss out on my evening shows! Amazing! I got to Austin and Hazel was there to fetch me. It was really late so we just headed right back to San Antonio to her new apartment! LOVE - and she a new puppy which is adorbs! We pretty much went right to bed - we were both exhausted!
Ok so I'll pick up here tomorrow! The adventure continues!!!
