i just ate a late dinner at a restaurant called 'the texan'.
i've seen carpet with cowboy hats, horseshoes and cactus'.
there's a lazy river outside my window.
to my right is a leather bound chair and ottoman that smells of rich mahogany.
to my left is this:
i think it's safe to assume that i'm not in cleveland anymore.
goodbye ohio, hello texas.
grapevine, texas to be exact, for a client convention - and i've shacked up at the gaylord texan hotel and convention center.
focker!
get it? gaylord? get it?
(crickets)
yeah, that was a pretty bad joke - i'll stop - i have a sexy cowboy (or indian) to find.
p.s. could i have been anymore stereotypical in my texas comments? i think not.

you couldn't have been any funnier in them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stay, I love the gaylord properties.
Oh, Texas. Ain't no other place like it, darlin'
ReplyDeleteThe gaylord hotels are sooo awesome. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteyou're at the gaylord?!
ReplyDeleteDAMN girl!

I've yet to go.. haha
you shouldn't have said or indian. You know rs27 is gonna be all over that. He's probably knocking on your door right now.
ReplyDeleteI heard it through the grape vine...
ReplyDeletethat picture is awesome. I wonder if I can get one just like it if I call the hotel.
If you find a cowboy, you know what the saying is right? Everything's bigger in Texas..... I'm just sayin.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool. We like stereotypes in Texas. It's what we're all about.
ReplyDeleteI work at a Texas-themed restaurant on weekends and if you think that hotel is bad, you should see this place. Ha.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing you're missing is a W reference.
ReplyDeleteIf you see W, don't take a picture because your camera might shatter into a million pieces.
ReplyDeleteAlso, let me know if they carry around guns in a holster, wear cowboy hats and boots all the time.
How's that for stereotyping?
stereotypical... or dead-on-balls accurate? i wonder.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to TX but I think I would like it. xoxo
ReplyDeletegrapevine texas. i picture it littered with wineries....? if not it should be.
ReplyDeletewhen i win the lottery ill buy it and turn it into the winery capital of the world.
