Bathroom humor

Back from Boca Raton and it's a New Year! I feel like we were gone much longer than just one day but we had a great time. When we started the night the one stipulation the guys put on the evening is that they did not want to end up in a crowded pushing mass of people or in a club. Hmmm ... downtown Ft. Lauderdale was insanely packed. By the time we got there and found a parking place the choices were either to head back to the restaurant and risk ringing in 08' in the car or stay put make the best of it. "The One" was so upset at first, she was trying so hard to plan a night we'd all love and I could tell she was really stressed by the situation. We decided to stay and found a cool spot in a corner of a bar and ended up having a great time. I told her "All that matters is that we were together and having fun" and we did have fun! On the way home I had a classic moment of putting my foot in my mouth. I was a little tipsy so I was just blurting out whatever came to mind. We passed a sign for Murphy Beds and I said "Who even buys Murphy beds, only old people have those!" What are the odds that The One had one made up in the guest bedroom of her parents house for my brother to sleep on!? Luckily she thought it was hilarious and was not offended in the slightest. Opps! I have to revert to my favorite disclaimer whenever I state my opinion where I say "I really don't like (insert item here), unless you have one of course" People always think it's funny when I say that but you never know ...

Boca Raton is much more beautiful than I remember ever seeing in the past. The highlight of today was visiting Sloan's Luxury Ice Cream Parlor. First of all, does it get any better than luxury ice cream? I love luxury and I love ice cream so I was sold before we ever set foot inside. Not only is the decor delicious on the eyes (my camera was in the car!) but their bathroom is ranked #10 on the Travel Channel's Top Best Bathrooms in the Entire World. The bathroom has clear glass doors that look right into the store but when you turn the handles they fog up completely. This one woman was not sold on the idea that you could not see through the doors and we could see her feet standing by the door for a long time after she'd closed it. We couldn't stop laughing which I'm sure did not ease her fears. The place was very Willy Wonka, if you're ever in the area you should definitely visit.
