Oh, What a night!

I went out with my friends to the Melting Pot last night for the December Birthday Club (3 of us have Dec birthdays). I tried a drink called the "Love Martini" and man, it was good!!! It didn't even taste alcoholic!! YUM!!!! Plus it had strawberries floating in it. How cool is that??? And of course, the fondue was excellent. Cheese appetizer, salad, chocolate dessert. MMMM!!!

THEN, said friends and I dropped by a salon's Holiday party. It was packed with people, fancy finger food and champagne. We all entered the door prize raffle. My friend Cindy put in our friend's name, Janice, because she was expected at any minute. She didn't make it in time for the raffle, and guess who won the grand prize? Janice!!! So I pretended to be Janice. It was so weird, everyone saying, "Yay, Janice!" and "Congratulations, Janice!" They took my picture with Santa and I suppose my picture will be up at the salon now as "Janice."

Cindy and I split the prize. We won: 3 hour 10 person limo ride (perfect for our families--we have to find somewhere fun to go for the kids!); 1 night stay at the executive suite at the Radisson Hotel, and a $75 gift card to "The Dove", a fancy Italian restaurant on Satellite Beach.

I think I'm going to let Cindy take the hotel, and I'll take the restaurant card. We can always stay at the condo on New Smyrna Beach.

Then, Janice finally arrived and we took our party to Carrabba's bar. We feasted on their Chocolate Martinis (the best drink ever--made with homemade hot fudge around the rim, and creme de cacao and baileys' and other fabulous stuff) and shared a plate of Pasta Carrabba. We swapped stories, and it turns out that I'm not the only one whose dogs locked themselves in the van by stepping on my purse and pressing "lock" on the key remote!!!! What are the odds that someone else would have that happen to them??

So fun.
