Miami heat

And I'm not referring to the basketball team. Good god, it's as hot as hell down there. Sorry it looked like I abandoned you all the past few days, I just got back from a quick vacation I took down there -- business for my fiance Casey and sitting around a pool for me. Actually not that much sitting around the pool, after a chapter and a half of reading my book (approximately 20 min) I burned so bad my chest looked like one of those horrible hypercolor shirts whenever someone pressed their finger on me. I'm an irish gal, what can I say?



The party we went to the night before, sorry, crashed the night before in Miami Beach made up for it. Of course, it was completely by accident. We were meeting my cousin at The Shore Club, a poshy 5-star hotel. Everything in the lobby is draped in white and the ladies' bathroom looks like the white room at Pulse in Orlando, minus the bar. As Casey put it, "I'm officially now out of my element." Many of the parties for the conference he was attending took place in the back of the hotel by the pool. We went all the way to the back and just kinda walked in, no ID check, no wristband check just an open bar with top shelf liquor waiting ahead.



Security is damn lax here we thought, but by the second Tanqueray and tonic we noticed there were bouncers everywhere except the one entrance we stumbled into. Which was lucky because my cousin called a couple minutes later to inform us we were at the wrong party. Same location, just different pool. And cash bar we come to find out. So we bounced back and forth between the two and finally the guards kind of gave up, took down the rope offs and the parties became one. All because of Casey and me. Well maybe not entirely, but toward the end of the evening, looking at what appeared to be a scene from a bad CW show, I did feel a twang of pride.



Or it might had been just my stomach telling me to forget the eighth gin and tonic and head the hell back to our own hotel. Either way, it was good times.
