Santa will be hanging out with Danny at his store today! And even better...they will be providing mimosas! It's been two years since Kayo's traumatic moment with Santa, so we are going to introduce them again today to make amends. ;)
I am so happy it's the weekend! Last weekend I worked Sunday at the Ritz children's holiday party and been working late most days. The pay period ended yesterday and I was over 100 hours in two weeks. But now it will all be worth it when I see that overtime $ on Wednesday's check!
Besides all the working, we had a pretty fun week!
On Wednesday, I met a few new girlfriends, (Lelani, Olivia and Miri - They all work with Danny) and went to the spa they all go to's Christmas party. The spa was awesome - In an old house, down a dirt road by the water. Cute inside with art everywhere and painted fun colors. We started off with mango martinis, then acai berry martinis, then moved on to wine. All went back to the store to order pizza and help Danny open and price the over 70 boxes of items that came in at the store for the Christmas sale today. They are getting in some of the coolest stuff. I bought a Columbia shirt the other day - Just a t-shirt, but really really soft - All it has on it is a bear riding a pink bicycle. =)
Then on Thursday, Miri had a holiday fiesta on her beautiful Beneteau sailboat! She went all out - Margaritas and coronas. Homemade salsa, and another homemade mango/bean/cheese salsa. Then delicious beans she cooked for two days, meat cooked in crock pot, fresh tortillas and every taco topping possible! Delicious and good company! Kayo even was invited. His favorite things in St. Thomas are boats and jeeps.
So, last night we took it easy after a long week. I came home to a bottle of wine Danny surprised me with. I made a huge dinner. And since our tree was looking so full and Santa was coming tomorrow, we decided to exchange one small gift we had bought for each other. I think both of us were stoked! Danny got me a blown-glass sun catcher that is shaped like a Sting Ray and it was made at Maho Bay, which is an Eco-friendly camp on St. John. I found Danny a book in an antique store here on Foxy, an old islander man who owns Foxy's Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. We both love the bar and Foxy is amazing. The first time I met him was with my parents and we all danced all night!
...So, we are off to get drunk off champagne with Santa! I will be sure to take pictures!
