So I’m leaving for Orlando today, heading up to Miss Britt’s. We talked on the phone and she gave me a key to her house AND the super secret security code. I’m totally going through her underwear drawer when I get there. Believe it.
And I looked at my bank account online and sonofabitch I have $50 and change in my account. Just before going to NYC. Niiiice. I need Rachel Ray to do the $40 trip through NYC with me. Luckily, I have my $111 jury duty check which just came in. So I’ll be cashing that before heading up to Britt’s.
AND I have a shrink appointment today, where they’ll ask me the standard questions. How are you feeling? How are you sleeping? Are you feeling suicidal and/or having suicidal thoughts? Blah blah blah. I could phone my appointments in at this stage. Just give me better fucking meds, will you, please? And maybe some medicinal marijuana?
On the way out of town, I’ll be cashing the check, stopping at Walgreen’s to get some big-ass horsepill painkillers because the headache keeps coming back. And now I can’t even afford to hit up the chiropractor tomorrow.
Yeah, this is kind of a whiny post. Deal with it. I’m still going to NYC and I’m gonna have a great time and hook up with great people.
I still want to meet Rachel Ray, though. I’ll show her a 30-Minute Meal she’ll never forget.
Ugh. I sure hope you feel better! Too bad you couldn’t get an adjustment before you leave. Bummer.
Rumor is Rach is preggers. Yeah, sorry dude.
I hope you have a GREAT time and hug all the peeps I love for me! (including yourself!)

There are some great places to eat and hang in NYC that won’t break your budget. Hope you all have a great time.
(I hate to admit it, but I have a bunch of Rachel Ray products in my kitchen)

Two words: Excedrin Migraine
Works like a charm.

Karen – thanks. I’m getting some Excedrin Migraine in the morning because I’ve heard from several people that it is The Shit. And I hadn’t heard about Rachel Ray getting pregnant. Doesn’t mean she won’t put out, though.
Charlene – I’ll have time to read blogs tomorrow (today) when I get to Britt’s. Wouldn’t dream of missing that.
Willie G – Yeah, I’ll be Twatting my ass off all weekend. Won’t be able to READ Twitter, but I’ll send lots of updates through my cell.
James – Heh. I can last a while, dude. I’m just sayin’…
Shash – For sure. Maybe Monday. I’ll be staying over at Britt’s Sunday night because we get in just before midnight.
B.E. Earl – Tell me you didn’t buy an official Rachel Ray Garbage Bowl.
Adena – I am all over that in the morning, thanks.

Good thing Rach also does 10 minute meals, though that might prove to be a bit too long also. Have a good time in NYC and if you do see Rach tell her I need Tyler Florence’s number!

Whiny perhaps.. FUNNY fer sure! Safe journey~~

This is such a classic Karl post! Had me cracking the hell up.
Have a FANTASTIC time! Yeah, I know… I know… I’ve said that like 400 times now, but whatever. I’m trying to hide the incredible amounts of envy I’ve got going on right now
.
So… yeah. We’ll talk when you get back, then?

Wanna go halvsies on a slice of pizza?

YAY!! TOMORROW WE MEET!! How friggin awesome is that? I am still so psyched….ok gotta go pack run errands and get presents….*le sigh*

Do you think when you hit crusing altitude you head will explode? That might put a damper on the trip, but as long as they gather up all the pieces it should be OK.
Remember to add on Serendipity’s (sp)for a Frozen Hot Chocolate. Mmmmmmm….. way to good!
Reply
So is it just $50 and change, or $50 and CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN?
Reply
Don’t lie. It would be a 30-second meal, wouldn’t it?
And Britt’s underwear drawer is boring. I’ve worn everything in there and danced in front of the mirror.
Reply
Have fun in NYC – it’s one of my favourite places on earth! Hope the heavy-duty pain killers work on your headache and that you have a wonderful trip.

I have to stop laughing at Adam’s comment. Whew! Now I can type… You are a brave, brave man. I could not leave home with $160 on me. I would freak the fuck out. I’m a worst case scenario girl and I don’t have a credit card, so having less than a few hundred dollars in the bank while being out of town would worry me so much I wouldn’t even enjoy myself.

Chris – I’ll be sure to tell her that in between our marathon “cooking” sessions.
Cheesy – Thanks!
Amber – We may talk this weekend if I drunk dial you.
Miss Britt – That I can probably do. We’re definitely having some NY pizza. And I hope you left out your laciest panties for me to explore while you’re at work.
Cissa – Can’t wait. I hope you left out your laciest panties for me to explore…oh wait, I’m stuck on repeat.
Blondefabulous – I hadn’t thought of the plane trip. My head very well may explode. At least the headache will disappear.
Whall – Heh, are you trying to sell me on Obama? Isn’t Britt doing that to me enough?
Avitable – I’m very jealous.
Suze – Thanks! Can’t wait.
Winter – Well, *most* of the stuff is already paid for. Everything else is just eating money and tour money, really. And I get paid again at the beginning of the month, thank God.

ACTUALLY – as you will see when you arrive, there is newly folded laundry all over my living room.
I made a point of putting my underwear this morning before I left.
Reply
I hope that erm….clean NY air makes your headache go away.
HAVE FUN!

Hope you have a great time! I am jealous for sure!

Miss Britt – Well, Avi says your underwear is boring, but since when am I going to believe anything HE says?
Hilly – Thanks!
Tori – Wish you could go. Love to meet you.

Rach actually did a $40-A-Day on NYC. Check Food Network’s site to see if they list the places. I know it’s not the same as taking the girl with you (or just taking the girl), but maybe it will help?
I hope you can get rid of that headache and have a wonderful time in The City.

I didn’t by the Rachel Ray garbage bowl, but I use one just like she does. So sad.
Actually, I didn’t buy any of the Rachel Ray (all orange colored) stuff in my kitchen. My mother is a fanatic and bought them for me for Christmas last year.
Reply
I am so jealous of your trip! Have fun – as if you need someone to tell you that!
Yes- Excedrin Migraine is the shit, but not in comparison to horse pill painkillers! If you get some medicinal marijuana, let me know!
Be safe.

adam’s comment gave me mental pictures and i like them. i think you should vlog from britt’s underwear drawer…
Reply
Finn – Thanks, headache is gone for now. That Excedrin Migraine is The Shit.
Britt – Where’s Rachel’s contact info?
B.E. Earl – I’d watch Rachel Ray pick lint of aprons.
Sybil – If I get hold of some marijuana, I’ll let EVERYBODY know.
Dragon – What, you don’t believe me?
Hello – Well, I cashed in $70 in coins, so I should be okay. Totally thinking about the vlog tonight.

I’ve met Rachel Ray. She’s so teeeny! Like 5′ 4″ kinda teeny. And really effing perky!
Although….I have friends who work at Food Network who say she is a super-dooper mega-mega biatch.
Reply
K8spade – I don’t want to know she’s a bitch! Or maybe I do. She’d probably look awesome in a ball gag.

Have fun Karl! Hope your headache stays away for your weekend! You guys have a blast!

Stephanie – Thanks, I’ve got some Excedrin Migraine (100 pills) and I plan on carrying the bottle with me all weekend. And I’ll see what I can do about the underwear drawer. Alas, she was already home when I got to her place. Maybe Monday.

Can you gag Rachael Ray? She’s got a nice body, but she talks too much.
Reply
Rachael Ray? seriously?
Reply
The other benefit to Rachel Ray being your NYC guide is that you’ll always have a free/good meal no matter where you are.
Of course, if Rachel Ray actually worse the above outfit, I don’t think you would leave the room.
Reply
Kapgar – She is rather perky.
Ali – Yeah, seriously. I can just see her in a French maid’s outfit, calling out my name.
martymankins – I might leave the room if she came with me to MY room.
