After

We managed to carve out a nice Christmas after all. The kids got their Christmas spoils on the 24th because they flew to their dad's on Christmas Day. Smiles are the best thanks yous in the world.

After putting them on the plane the next day, The Husband, The Mother and I drove to Ft. Lauderdale so I could see our new condo (our Christmas present to each other). We close in about four weeks, and I'm so excited I could die right there on the gorgeous hardwood and spanish tile floors.

We had dinner at some trendy little beach restaurant where our entrees were unpronounceable and the dessert came in a box you could eat. And we did.

The day after Christmas we went furniture shopping for the condo (the stuff in the photo is all from the model), and had lunch at this funky little dive called Le Tub, where you will get the biggest cheeseburgers known to man... if you just wait about an hour for them.

I took The Mother home last night, and she went on and on about what a fabulous time she had. Hmmm... could have fooled me, but some people show appreciation in strange ways.

I'm gearing up for our NYE trip to Jamaica. There's tons to do today, which is why I'm blogging instead of knocking off items on the list. Later today The Husband and I will make one last trip to Kinks in Ybor for last minute "outfits" and "supplies". Tomorrow morning we head for the airport. Tomorrow afternoon I'll be drinking rum out of a 32 oz. mug and burning my naughty bits at Hedo.

Happy New Year, y'all!
