You may be wondering "why takeout for one?" Well truthfully, I'm always single. I'm the friend that's always the bridesmaid and never the bride. I have watched my friends get engaged, get married, have babies and start their families. It just isn't my time yet. So for the time being, I have decided to blog about my single life experiences and funny stories or random events. Then someday (hopefully) my day will come where I can change that headline to "Takeout for Two"-just like Sandra Bullock in Two Weeks Notice.

The Blue Wave and A Ticket For One

I am slacking, I know.  I haven't blogged nearly enough as I have wanted to or what I had in mind when I created this blog! So I am going to work on this, I promise.  And I know my last one was sad and depressing, it was just how I was feeling at the time. This one will be better! :)
Things are going well for me currently in the sunshine state! The weather has been simply amazing and I have enjoyed many days at the pool and the beach in the last couple weeks.  I have made new friends! (So exciting I know!) and have made new memories!  So I suppose I will start where I last left off...
Jess moved, I was sad, we all know this.  But she was literally back one week later for work.  The two of us got a hotel room (scary thought, I know) and had a wonderful weekend.  We visited our favorite hotspots, danced, drank, laughed and cried.  One thing I have to share with you all that is most blog worthy out of our whole weekend was "the Blue Wave"   If someone ever offers you a Blue Wave shot, it would be in your best interest to kindly say no.  Jess recieved the Blue Wave from coworkers and she soon shared this hidden joy with me.  We had to find the perfect candidate to try this Blue Wave shot on and we waited awhile surveying the bar until the perfect candidate approached us.  He was a drunk, "badass marine" in his words who wanted to buy two beautiful ladies a shot.  Jess flashed the wedding ring and I said I had a boyfriend (because clearly I was not interested)  but he insisted and wouldn't leave.  So we told him we wanted a "Blue Wave" and Jess secretly ran to the bartender to fill her in.  She poured one shot of Blue UV Vodka for him and two shots of regular clear vodka for us (or so he thought.)  We all lifted our shots and toasted to the Blue Wave and now he could be a part of our Blue Wave club.   Needless to say, we really had water in our shot glasses and when he took the shot of the UV Vodka we threw our shots of water in his face.  "WELCOME TO THE BLUE WAVE CLUB!"  If I could have taken a picture of his face and posted it for ya'll I would have.  It was seriously priceless.  And the best part, a girl quickly approached us and said "it was the coolest thing she had seen that night"  Classic. 

Last week Nate and I were hanging out, drinking beer, playing video games..a typical Saturday night for me. (I swear I really am a girl!!!) when his neighbors from upstairs came down.  They are newlyweds of 6 months and she is my age.  They are both Florida born and raised.  They are a lot of fun! We went to World of Beer that night (of course) and had a great time! And since then we have cooked out, had a wine night at the pool, had a girls night, and then last night for Easter we grilled out and dyed Easter eggs.  This girl is 27 years old and has never dyed an Easter Egg in her life! I quickly introduced her and we had a great time. I'm so excited to have a new friend in my life that lives in the same apartment complex as me!

Like I said, yesterday was Easter.  Before I met up with my friends for a cookout mom and I went to Church in the morning and then spent the day at the beach.  We of course ended up at a beach bar and did a Happy Easter cheers and had a great time! Dad was in Chicago with my brother and they spent their Easter sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley Field. Can you sense the jealousy as I type these words? Good.  But I still had a great day to make up for it!   I did miss being with my family so much though and the ham and deviled eggs, Grandma putting quarters in eggs and having to find them and chocolate eggs all around the house.  Memories I will cherish forever.  But just like mom and I did yesterday "Cheers to new memories and traditions."

An update on airplane boy..since I have had some of you ask! (I love it, thanks!)  We do text now and then but are yet to meet up.  Good news though, Heidi did book us a 3 night 4 day stay in Daytona to use some weekend so we are just trying to pick a date and I have told him about this and he's excited (since that is where he lives now)  So we will see what happens!  And he has text me a few pictures and he is just as hot as I remember!!

Heidi and Dave are getting married in Mexcio this summer and I have been procrastinating buying my ticket because I honestly do not want to go alone.  I was a bridesmaid in another friends wedding in Jamaica and I didn't end up going because it was at a "Couples Only" resort and I would have to pay so much extra and would have to stay at a different location than everyone.  How sad is that?! So today as I spoke with the travel agent about Mexico she informed me it was going to be about $400 extra for me because I am single. A ticket for one is more expensive than a ticket for two.  Ouch.  Why is it so hard for me to find someone that wants to be with me and go lay on the beaches in Mexico with me? Obviously it's very frustrating.  Hi I'm Stephanie and I'll take a ticket to Mexico....ticket for one that is.
