Play that funky music, white boy
It's raining men
Prepare to DIE of jealousy: I'm sitting on the beach in Daytona Beach, watching the sun rise as I drink my coffee (and, yes, I already worked out at 6, to have that "I lifted a car" feeling). I'm at the RT convention and, as happens every year, having a FREAKING FABULOUS TIME!!!!
Let me just say that Eileen and I are representing the LC in true LC style - we are having an insanely great time. The lovely Eileen, the fabulous Barb Ferrer, and the utterly gorgeous Cindy Holby and I danced until midnight and then -- I know, brace yourself, this will be unexpected -- ended up back in the bar. (See, you're jealous already, aren't you??)
Last night was the Ellora's Cave Fantasy party, and I'm not going to dish - what happens at RT stays at RT - but let's just say you should ask Eileen about the FISHNET STOCKINGS.
If anybody, anywhere, anytime, could carry off fishnet stockings? It would be Eileen. Seriously.
And then, I'm sitting on the beach after my run, talking on the phone to Lani (who is insanely jealous and whom we miss DESPERATELY) and who but Eileen walks up from her own run? Then we head over to Starbucks and find Barb, fresh from the gym.
You see?? We're not only DANCING FOOLS, we're healthy dancing fools.
Or, at least, we're sweating off the ENORMOUS QUANTITY of drinking we did last night . . .
But I can't linger here. I have a date to watch cover models play beach volleyball. Which, we're all hoping, will be just as insanely cheesy as it sounds. Stay tuned for pics when I get home and find the cord that connects the camera to the laptop.
hugs,
Alesia, who IS (if any IRS agent reads this) working really hard. Seriously. Working.

Watching the sunrise, coffee in hand, looking out over a beach... Talk about Living The Dream. I gotta get me some! Me, I'm sitting in the living room, dogs snoring on the couches behind me, debating on whether it's too early to have a wine cooler (noting else cold in the house to drink, and I am tired of Vicodin...) while staring gloomily at the sparkling water in my pool and bemoaning the fact that I can't get in it because of this damn wad of bandaging on my wrist/hand that the doctor refuses to remove until NEXT WEEK! ARGH!!!! And by the way--how was THAT for a run-on sentence?! I envy you, Alesia--you have NO idea how much I wish I was there too! (sigh)

I just went for a run, too...and now I have to sit down and WORK for the rest of the day.
Hmph.
Hey, if I steal Eileen's fishnet stockings and start wearing them around, can I lose my rep as the "sweet" literary chick? Can I be the bad-ass one instead?

Yeah, thanks for the visual, Alesia. In Daytona. On a beach. With coffee. Sooooo not fair. I wanna be a fabulously famous writer and get invited to warm places like Daytona, where they drive on the sand!
(totally lovin BHMF, btw)

Thanks, Dee! There's no driving on the beach here on our stretch but I heard about it. Daytona - the only place where you can get sunburnt and run over all at the same time. sigh
Off to dress up as the Death Fairy for the ball

First and foremost allow me to say that, as near as I can tell, fishnet stocking are practically a freakin' uniform at RT. NOT wearing fishnet stockings made you stand out. I would also like to mention that Alesia is about the cutest little Death Fairy ever. At least, I'm certain the guy who came out of his room just as she came down the hall who immediately invited her in thought she was the cutest little Death Fairy ever.

I just have one thing to say. Please leave Eileen's fishnets alone. Whoever tries to take them from her will have to answer to ME! 8-)

Oh, honey, you say the sweetest things!

The Death Fairy is blonde again. And that guy? I told him we were way out of his league.

Man-- I'm feeling so left out that I missed out on the Death Fairy-- although I did get to bump and grind booties with Eileen and her fishnets at the EC party.

And I have a photo of you, too, Ms. Barb! You are sooooo cute it should be illegal.
