Nobody Gonna Break Our Stride.
Update From The Road
I’m at the Aloft Hotel in Dallas. It’s part of the W Hotel chain so it’s funky and classy and has the Bliss toiletries that I think are swell. Not as great as the W in L.A. but I’ve got nothing to complain about. Wait, I do. They don’t have room service. What is that all about? I was hungry and all I could get was a lame, heated up pizza at the bar. And no breakfast in bed tomorrow?!?!?! The horror…
I really do meet funny characters sometimes. Jeff is a nice guy from Nashville who had the liquid courage to talk to me all night while trying desperately to tell me all he knew about bourbon in Tennessee and Kentucky because he assumed that’s what I wanted to chat about. His friend came down to say hello while he was yapping away with drunken eyes about something or other and she apologized to me on his behalf… I’ve must’ve given her that woman-to-woman defeated look that spelled out “save me” because she just said “I’m sorry. He’s harmless…”
C’mon girls, you know the look…
The bartender was a very cute boy who just moved to Texas from Michigan about two months ago after breaking off his engagement and wondering what to do with a five-thousand-dollar ring that’s no longer relevant. I told him to re-gift it. He can’t return it and pawning it would give him a third of the price… so, he might as well wait till he meets the next Mrs. Almost Perfect and give it her.
Is that horrible? I don’t know. Better than loosing all that cash! Plus, he just graduated college 
and is looking for a market analyst job and really, what IS he going to do with that ring? He’s a total cutey pattooty and oh my goodness I’m a cougar. I probably have at least five years on him. Ugh…
So I invited everyone to the whisky tasting I’ll be working tomorrow. It’s free and you’ll get to taste great Scotch and of course, hang out with me! Yeah… nobody cares: -->FREE BOOZE!!!!<-- Now we’re talking!
Tomorrow morning I’m going to the Legacy Shops down the street because I don’t feel like hanging out here till I have to work. Plus, the hotel has a free shuttle that’ll take me there. I’m mostly going because of the free shuttle. And because there’s no room service to spoil me...
That’s my update. I’m washing off my make up, brushing my teeth, slipping into comfy PJs, and reading Allende’s Paula till I drift off…
