Goodbye Orlando!
In order to celebrate, I went out for a night on the town with Brandi. We ended up at one of my favorite Orlando night spots, Stardust Lounge. I will miss the great friends here, including Merv and Kyra. However, I know I will return for more fun in Orlando.

Casey Wohl Visits New Church Street Station Treats
I had lunch on Friday at The Dessert Lady (http://www.dessertlady.com/) with Kerrie and Sarah. Owner Patti Schmidt made us feel right at home in this elegant yet cozy space. Here, of course, you are more than welcome to eat dessert first…or JUST have dessert. They even give you the dessert menu first. With tantalizing desserts such as Bourbon Pecan Pie, Coconut Brulee Cheesecake and Chocolate Neapolitan Cake, the hardest part is making a decision…which is why they offer the “create your own sampler.” I had the delicious ham and swiss quiche, which was so pretty I didn't want to eat it. Patti also offers gourmet coffee and an extensive wine list. What girl doesn’t want a fabulous dessert!!!
On Saturday, Brandi and I had lunch at Hamburger Mary’s Bar and Grille (http://www.hamburgermarys-orlando.com/) where you are encouraged to “Eat, Drink and Be…Mary!” This Orlando establishment opened in May and is part of a nationwide franchise. Co-owner of this location, Mike Carpenter, told us that people describe Hamburger Mary’s as a “Hanna Barbera cartoon on acid.” When you walk into the place, you will immediately notice their festive and funky décor, which is perfect for a group of fun-loving girls. I loved it! We quickly looked over the menu and had a hard time deciding what to order. Since they are known for their yummy burgers, I had to try one. Yes, it was amazing! Cooked perfectly with their special sauce, Brandi even had to try this tasty burger. We were in for a special treat as the radio talk show “The Best Life Barb Show” (http://www.bestlifebarb.com/) was airing live from the restaurant. We listened as Barb and Sweet Lou interviewed guests and had some good laughs. At the end, Barb hosted a Sex and the City round of trivia. We had a super lunch at a super great place. Check out their website for the weekly happenings.
I'm so thrilled to see Church Street Station making a comeback. If you haven't been there recently, be sure to check it out!

Casey Wohl Attends Ya Ya Network Conference
Next, I attended the workshop “Finding Your Passion.” We had several presenters and I found them all helpful. Jennifer Lee recited a great quote that reminds us that when we are gone, it doesn’t matter the year we are born or the year we die, put what we do in between those years…what we do with our “dash.”
Our keynote presenter at lunch was Fawn Germer, author of the Oprah-recommended book Hard Won Wisdom. Fawn was a true inspiration to us all and reminded us that in tough times, we must be tougher. In addition, she quoted the proverb, if you fall down seven times, get up eight. Many thanks to Fawn for her strong words of encouragement.
Last, I attended the workshop “Becoming A Person of Influence.” Again, all of the presenters were wonderful. However, I most related to Lucille O’Neal (Shaq’s mom). Most people would recognize her as the mother of an amazing athlete, but after listening to her speak, you will quickly find out that SHE is an amazing person. Her words of wisdom: Be true to yourself.
What a great day! Many thanks to Pam Carmen and all of her wonderful volunteers for assembling a fabulous agenda and wonderful women. I will see you all next year!

After Dinner Fun at Universal's CityWalk
The night was not over with dinner. We checked out the concert at CityWalk, where a band named Orange Avenue was playing. We listened to them for a while and sang along, then headed to Pat O'Brien's for some dueling pianos
where we sang along with tunes such as "Like A Virgin" and "I Will Survive." We also got the piano player (and the entire place) to sing "Happy Birthday" to Sally. Oh what a night!

BAM! Dinner and cooking lessons at Emeril's
We arrived at Emeril's and were greeted by Chef Jay, who cooked some amazing things to nibble on (we loved it all, especially the corn relish) and he provided some great cooking tips (even I could do them).
Many thanks to Chef Jay, John and George, as well as Emeril's Manager Gabriel for their spectacular food and service. We had a fabulous time!

Girls Just Wanna Shop!
After our time at the mall, we headed to Premium Orlando Outlets, where Leigh Jones hosted a Private Party Reception for us complete with champagne and cocolate covered strawberries. We had a very nice time and cannot thank the outlet staff enough for this fantastic event and all the great shopping "perks."
Before we knew it, we had to head back to the hotel to get ready for our night at Emeril's.

Girls Getaway Starts with Sushi!
The talk at the table focused on the fact that Sharla had never tried sushi. Although reluctant, she tried it all. Including jellyfish and eel.
We are off to a great start and cannot wait for our day of shopping!
