Sexy Saturday

Flaming queso dip with peppers and onions. *waits for flame to go out* Grab some tortilla chips and dig in.

-All the oxygen masks on our plane dropped down about 10 minutes before takeoff. Ooops. We had to deplane and wait for them all to be reset. The plane next to us also had to evacuate. There was a belligerent man on the flight that had to be removed by police. Cops cars on the runway and everything. Such excitement!

-Since I didn't get in til late, I was left with the bar menu at the hotel. Cheesy garlic bread, fries or calamari were my options. *rolls eyes* So, I had some bread and wine. A creepy man sat down next to me, saying "My brother is staying here and I was going to surprise him, but he's not answering his room phone." Twice the man asked to come up to my room to try the Sleep Number bed. Yeah, not so much, creepo.

-The sleep number bed is average. Meh. Otherwise the hotel is nice.

-I am watching the Badger game! Nothing like eating breakfast and watching football at 9 am.

- I ran 1.2 miles today....in front of other people in the gym. Yikes! I was very self conscious, as I'm usually huffing and puffing by the end in my basement and end up holding the side rails. Well, I toughened up, controlled my breathing and didn't hold on. *flexes*

-I'm heading out in an hour to Sacramento! *big grin* I like the rental Pacifica a lot, so am looking forward to the drive.

UPDATE!
Saturday was a beautiful day in the Bay area. Sounds like it was uber hot in Wisconsin (It was almost 80 at midnight, so said the news), but it was sunny and in the 70s as I headed to Sacramento. I stressed over what to wear...it was too hot for my planned long sleeve blouse and blazer. *pout* The drive was a little stressful. It was bumper to bumper traffic most of the way there...On a (Sexy) Saturday! So, not only was I already running about 10 minutes late, but a little directional snafu made me about another 15 minutes late.

MTW and I met at a little Taquellria for a bite to eat. I had a beer after my stressful drive. :-) They have a fun chip and salsa bar, and MTW was a gentleman and brought a bunch over for us to munch on. I had two yummy tacos (ok, so I didn't pick the healthiest option with a chorizo one, but the pork was grilled). We chatted lots about OT, a little about blogland and about our jobs and politics. Alas, he had to get home. Our meets, unfortunately, have always been to short. *pout* I called MM to make our meet-up plans. OMH-she has THE cutest voice!

I then drove a short distance into Old Sacramento. It was so cute! The drive to that area was nice, lots of pretty tree lined streets and clean, nice buildings. Motormouth came strolling towards me. Of course, I knew it was her...blazer, cute shoes, devious grin. We went right to business and hit the shops. We talked about all of you RIGHT away because we found a fun sock store. They had socks of all kinds. Thanks to MM, I am now the proud owner of some cheesy socks. They are so cute! Then, the inevitable happened...she took me somewhere smutty! She kept saying we needed to hit Evangeline's. I assumed it was a shoe and accessory store. Wrong-0. It was a funny, wacky store of gag gifts, costumes, etc. And where does she lead a wholesome girl like me? Behind a curtain in the back, where a sign said I must be 18 to enter. She robbed me of my innocence. Smut queen, indeed! *giggle*

We then had to use the bathroom and were parched, so we hit Round Table Pizza *waves to the pizza OT thread* where we chatted for a few hours. It was such a relaxed, dishy time. We talked about everything. I'm so glad we had awhile to chat during our first meet. She had to run for a date with the kiddos and her brother, which was probably good or I'd be making the trek back to SF at midnight!

On the drive home I realized there are no pictures of our day. MM and I both had cameras. *smacks forehead* She did snap a picture of Orlando Bloom, though. *snort*

Thank you, MTW and MM, for showing me Sacramento and making me feel so welcome. *hugs and smooches*

OMH Nothing like being in CA, huh? Sheesh.

I desperately want a sleep number bed. What makes it only average?

*smooooooooch*

momma said...

And I will be nice and not steal all the chips and queso.

Yet.

MM said...

WooHoo! I need to get my ass in the shower. I still don't know where I'm meeting you or what to wear. Damn weather is a tad warm for my blazer, but I might wear it anyways.

See you soon! (though you won't see this until you're back, lol)

OMH! I didn't get the memo that it was Sexy Saturday until *after* meeting with Kim! Otherwise, I would have worn my, ummm, well something sexy.

Woohoo! We had some good Mexican food and nice conversation and not nearly enough time!

How cool is it that Kim would drive all the way to Sacramento to see her bloggy friends? *smooch!*

You can have the chips and queso, momma. We had chips, three kinds of salsa, carnitas and chorizo tacos, and beer. :)

My Saturday was indeed sexy. How could it not be with two hot peep meets? MTW & MM were both great hosts for my trip. Now, if only they could work on that I-80 traffic for me. I swear, it's always wall to wall. 8-9 pm and it was packed most of the drive.

And yes...we talked about you. All of you...*grin* Good thing we like you.

Don't worry, I will write more in the morning. I'm kind of sleepy now. They wore me out. :-)

I am so gellus.

We have a sleep number bed, and I love it most of the time. My back or maybe kidneys have been hurting me lately though. Usually that means not drinking enough water, and with the hot hot hot weather we've been having (yeah!) I can understand.

Kim, I am blaming you for no pics. It took until our 3rd peep meet, and the WI Mini peep meet at that, to finally get a pic with you. You must be shy. *giggle*

Hmmph! I bet you wouldn't have had airplane problems if you had flown into LAX.

My friend has a sleep number bed and they love it.

In honor of you, I'm going to start a taco thread on OT.

MM said...

LOL! I am defending myself on my blog ya know! I'm not smutty! *grin*

I had so much fun, Kim. I hope you and Carey had a great day today. I was jealous today even though I got to see you yesterday, lol!

I've decided I'm not talking to you anymore until you come to Pittsburgh.

I think it is TOTALLY cool to drive to Sacramento to meet blog people. TOTALLY cool.

What about my hugs? Did you give and receive my hugs?
