Fine Dining 4th

Dear Diary,

Havent really had a good moment yet to sit and write here. I want to but am not totally in the mood so will see what my fast fingers can get out tonight.

Kids are in the bath, I need one next, Im filthy from mowing the front lawn.

My 4th of July weekend went well.

I headed to B’s late Friday night, got in around midnight, he was asleep, I got in and just crawled into bed with him and we both passed out, slept in a little which was very nice Sat AM. Got up and had some lovin time, then showered and headed to the store, we went to Old Navy, Trader Joes and Target for a few things before our trip then hit the road about noon.

Drove out to Carpenteria, checked into our hotel. The hotel was pretty nice, I would have preferred an upstairs room(now know to request this if we stay there again) but the courtyard there was beautiful, and the upstairs room wed have balconies. But our room was right near the jacuzzi so it was easy for us to peek out to see if it was free. We went in about 3 diff times.

We then headed out to Santa Barbara Sat afternoon. We went to eat at Sharkys which is a old fave haunt of B’s. So we had 2 pitches of Pear Cider and some food then there was a little fun shop right next door with all sorts of funky clothes, costumes, lingerie, shoes, nic nacks, you name it. Then we headed to the little Paseo Nuevo outdoor mall type area. Went in Victoria’s Secret, Sees Candies, MMMMMM. Just poked around.

I think thats all we did that day? Then we decided to head out and go back to the hotel, we got in kinda early and I get all scared Im gonna be all awake and bored. But we just went in the jacuzzi and sat in there for awhile. Then we got back to our room and selected some “Adult Viewing” selection from the tv, haha. :::Wink:::

Needless to say we had some long extended love making time, and we both were asleep before 11pm. We slept in the next day till almost 10am. Got up and dang B was all spunky again! I snuck off to the shower giggling.

I was too tired! No wayyyy.

We headed down to Santa Barbara again and parked, And went to this Italian Restaraunt. Omgosh the food was the best I had all weekend! I had this Alfredo Pesto Sauce Pasta, yummy garlic bread and we had a bottle of wine. Everything was wonderful, we ate outside right off Main Street, and had Tiramasu for dessert. B pretty much picked up the tab for all of the food, which was awesome. I know why he did since I booked the hotel and that wasnt cheap.

We then went back to get our chairs and head down to get a spot for the parade, it was quite the hike, but the exercise is always good and hes down for the long walks.

We set up our chairs and I went to the Habit and got us a shake,,, I also shopped in Urban Outfitters before the parade as we were seated right out in front of it waiting for it to start. It was nice.

THEN IT HIT. Damn stomach cramps.

I am not sure what set it off, I notice sometimes when I drink alcohol it will give me a stomach ache the following day. Which requires several trips to the restroom with diarrhea, OOOH FUN!

I could tell how my tummy was feeling and it said there were public restrooms right by where we were, so I went there right away without waiting till I was in pain. I get there and its ONE STALL UNISEX! WHAT THE HELL!

I wait for two people and im dying… I get in and take care of what business I can, Im one of those people whos more concerned about the others outside waiting to get in so I wont stay in forever. B tells me “So what, stay in there”

I got out, made it through most of the parade, then we hiked across the street to Macys, I told him there were more restrooms in there and Id go there. I still wasnt feeling to hot, so he waits outside to watch the rest of the parade and I head up all h appy to a nice a bathroom in Macys, I get in there and its a LINE too, Im dying waiting in line. I finally get in and could take as long as I liked since there were many stalls. I finally felt better. WHEW! Nothing sucks more then diarrhea when you are away from your own bathroom or adequate restrooms.

So it made me nervous to go watch the Symphony so I opted out afraid Id get cramps again and not bathrooms out there and it was farther away then where we were and our vehicle and all. We opted for the trolley tour. Which totally sucked. Jen and I took it before, and the girl told us lots of stuff, this guy I couldnt even understand or hear and he SUCKED, he barely told a thing. We got off early along with another couple and we all agreed the tour sucked big time.

We headed back over to Sharkys, ate dinner there, drank some more, as we had time to kill till the Fireworks. We sat in there for a long time. 2 pitchers of Pear Cider,

Then we walked our way back to the beach and there went my stomach again, theyhad a ton of porta potties lined up so I got in line while B went to get our blanket n stuff for the fireworks and meet me back over by the beach. Man that guy is great, a guy who is cool for all the stomach ache potty breaks, you gotta love that!

So I had one more visit once again after that, 2 Porta pottie visits( and there were lines for those too!)

And I felt better finally. We laid on the blanket, all curled up and watched the fireworks together, then we bolted out so fast LOL, to miss traffic, we hit the freeway so fast and got back to our hotel and high fived each other for how we got out of the public mess so quickly with the system we had. We got back to the hotel, B played Nintendo on the tv , LOL Yes they had it, he was so anxious to try it out. I passed out laying next to him and we went to bed early once again around 11pm.

We got up around 8:30 on Mon, and dressed for the gym, our hotel had a mini fitness center, so we agreed to go work out, so we did for about 30 min, then took a walk down the street in Carpenteria and went to this little antique type shop and had fun all browsing thru it, then walked back to the hotel for breakfast in the Grille at the hotel. Then off to shower, pack up and get ready to check out.

Dang!
We made such good time, we checked out, hopped on the fwy and made it to B’s a little after 1pm. Traffic wasnt bad at all. Then B said hed come home with me. Just wanted to drop off his stuff and grab work clothes and would call the chick he works with to carpool in the AM and not need his car. So we then got back to my town, went to lunch at Chilis, came home to my place and just relaxed, it was hot, walked around in my underwear and tshirt and cleaned up some, then we watched Dr Phil and got all frisky AGAIN.

LOL yes, after that, that was my limit, I need to recooperate now! Seriously.

We went to my Moms to get the kids, and my big sister was there, so we ended up staying a few hours.

Came home, cleaned up some more, big sister came over to visit for a bit, B laid down watched tv, when Big Sister left, I crawled into bed with B and passed out.

WHEW! ANd I left out side details and other stuff lol!

But theres the jidst, Back to work today, and I got news on Friday my boss said Id be trained to do new stuff, so got into work today and coworker started me training right away with going through some film and the machines.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

More other details later. But I had a good weekend. I love getaways, and I thank B for opening up my world to Fine Dining and good wine, damn I love going out to eat at nice places cause of him…
