Here we are in 2005:
And again in 2008:
We started our weekend with an all day spa day. We were massaged, buffed, exfoliated and looking good as new. We enjoyed a nice dinner out and went up to our favorite roof top bar.
On Saturday, we were all up at 7am (old habits are hard to break) but we lounged in our gorgeous hotel room until noon!
Noon!
We talked and laughed and talked and laughed.
Isn't it wonderful to have friends that you can talk about everything from people who shove pink stuffed animals up their vagina to sleep schedules for our kids. Do not ask about the first one there...Wendy really has a true story about that. Welcome to Ladytown!
We (finally) got our lazy butts up and did some shopping and took a scenic carriage ride around the city.
Charleston is such a pretty city!
That night we went to our favorite restaurant, Magnolia's for some shellfish and grits. Yummy!!
We were all dressed up and ready for our dee-lish meal. What could go wrong?
Let be start by saying that Magnolia's is an amazing restaurant. It has a very casual but elegant atmosphere. We sit down to enjoy the experience when I notice something on Wendy's shoulder.
Maybe a piece of lettuce?
Maybe a fly?
This would be the time to tell you that Wendy is deathly afraid of worms. Freakishly afraid. Nothing in the world scares her more than worms.
She looks down, sees the worm that is crawling on her shoulder and screams.
Screams as if she is being stabbed.
Top of your lungs scream.
The restaurant fell silent. Tina and I did what any good friend would do if an entire restaurant was staring at your friend. We laughed. And we did not stop laughing the entire night. Don't worry...the worm situation was resolved and our weekend resumed.
We ended up a very interesting Latin nightclub that night. And Sunday we all headed home.
Wendy and Tina...I miss you already!
I feel so refreshed from this weekend. This ladytown girls weekend did this momma some good.

I lived in Charleston for a year and OH. MY. GAWD. I loved Magnolia's. In fact, I drool when I think of ANYTHING food-related from that city! That is hysterical about the worm, hehe.
lucky lucky you!
how fun to have such wonderful friends and the opportunity to get away with them!
I loved the worm story retold...hilarious still. What great friends we are! If you are in desperate trouble ..you can count on me to freeze and laugh.
Excellent. I am back in the real world. It is like we are in a fantasy land when we are there. I did resist the airport shopping on my way home. I was in transition back to reality! Love you and hope to see you SOON in Buffalo!
How wonderful for you Mulch! Sounds like you had a fantastic time... sorry I missed your call en route... we'll catch up sometime..
