That cute line in the title is from a song we used in high school for a cheerleading competition dance. Yes, I was a cheerleader. Aren't we cute?
Ahh nostalgia. What was I talking about now? Oh yes, Land O' Lakes.
Aside from the atrocious name (The butter is NOT from Florida, are you serious people?) Land O' Lakes is a pretty typical small town closer to the West close of Florida and smack dab in between a whole bunch of lakes!
I am gracing Land O' Lakes with an extended stay this next week and a half to watch over our family restaurant, The Breakfast Nook while my mom is away in Texas.
On My To Do List:
- Catch up with old friends ( I am never home. ever. Holidays are such a whirlwind of family that I rarely get to visit with anyone. )
- Get a cuban (or two) from Larry's Deli. An absolute staple in the area with the BEST Cubans.
- Tijuana Flats. I've already been once, and I've been here two days. If you recall this post about Orlando I mention it. I feel like my stomach takes over my posts sometimes...
- Go out on the lake- brush up on those wakeboarding skills!
- Visit Courtney @ her new place downtown & check out The Taco Bus in Tampa. That place looks amazing!!
- Howl @ The Moon/Channelside
- Spa trip
- Clearwater or St. Pete Beach
- Warped Tour @ Vinoy Park
- LA Fitness- I have to make myself workout or all that food from The Breakfast Nook & my other favorites will definitely be showing!
Currently Working On/ Done:
- Dinner Done
- Painting with a Twist
- McDenton's Irish Pub
- Food from The Breakfast Nook
- Jagged Edge Salon for an amazing mani/pedi with Yen
Expect a very large post about all of the above in the near future!
On another note I'm also heading to Orlando for a very short stint- enough time to go to the American Idol concert with my sister Sunday night, visit Kierstan in her new studio downtown, and hopefully grab lunch with some friends before hightailing it back to Tampa to make sure The Breakfast Nook is still running! Phew!
Lastly, I am FINALLY gainfully employed, and I am so relieved to be able to say that! Although I absolutely loved my Reach Up kids, I am so pumped and ready to be in a school system with a support team of colleagues, principles, and a bunch of crazy high schoolers!
Does this mean I have to start acting like an "adult"?
Nah!
Here are some pictures from good ol' Land O' Lakes & my high school days...
