Warning! long and boring entry warning!
I found this little black, box-type, short-strapped, Anne Klein hand bag at a thrift store awhile back and I still haven't used it. It's pretty, small, looks new, and black which goes with everything. But still, it hangs there all alone.
Call me a dork but I actually like that Taco Bell commercial with the teenagers sitting at the table rapping about the encharito (sp?). "my name is David.. la la la...... hook me up with my gooey encharito". It's hilarious!
Call me a bigger dork but what's the deal with dressing dogs up in people clothes and pretending they know how to drive. Twisted. What are they trying to get across? That people drive like dogs? That if it's good enough for dogs it's good enough for people? That we're just animals?
Despite my hog-like ways during my vacation I didn't gain weight AND I'm happy to report i've lost eight pounds since getting back. Awesome!
A old friend from work is having a party this weekend. He's a consultant so we knew his stay was limited but while he was around we had fun. Well he's back in town after an extended stay in Texas and he's having a 'couch warming party'. Yup, you heard it right. Funny no? Anyway, all I know is it's about time to get jarras.
I'm meeting a potential new friend for Sunday brunch. Don't ask how we met... well we haven't met yet... Details after the meeting.
Ate some "mighty-fine-mighty-fine" bar-b-q chicken this evening. There's a new cajun restaurant around the corner from my house and on my way back from the store I decided to stop by and check it out. It's a tiny place. I think they only had six tables. But the music was cool and the owner was nice so I ordered the chicken plate. I wanted some jumbalaya but they only had a dinner size and it was too big - plus I didn't want to spend more money. So while I waited I chatted with one of the kids tending the entrance. He danced for me. Hehehe. Really cute kid. Anyway, the chicken was really good, accompanied by thick-sliced potatoes (with cajun spices) and coleslaw. Too delish!
I've been taking my vitamin E pill after dinner this past week. I don't know if it's the pill or not but I get so sleepy about an hour after. I mean really sleepy which is good but I also don't want to wake up which is not good. Might also be the long walks I've been taking. Anyway, I'll take my vitamin during the day next week and see if anything changes.
I'm going to get one of my favorite pictures from my vacation enlarged and framed. I'm calling it 'the tie that binds'. I'll post it when it's scanned.
My apartment is clean. Go figure.
I've added fencing moves to my exercise regime. Could they be a little harder on my legs? Ouch! I thought I'd pulled muscles in both legs the day after the first attempt. Muscles I didn't know existed until they screamed out in agonizing pain. Quien me manda huh?
So worth it though.
Remind me to buy a fan before my sister arrives next weekend. I'm pretty sure it's going to be hot and muggy and having no a/c doesn't help. Even though it hasn't gotten even a little bit warm in here, and the heat doesn't compare to Texas, I know she's gonna need some air.
There seem to be new people around my neighborhood. Loud people. I don't like that. Mostly young kids. They yell a lot. They want to act like they're older than they really are and it's annoying. Just shut up already. Ugh!
I ordered that no-heat wax - Nad's. It hasn't yet arrived and I'm anxious to try it out. I wonder if it's what Elaine's sister uses. Hmm. I don't like this shaving almost every day thing. Sucks man.
I like that actor guy in Stark Raving Mad. The writer guy. There's just something about him that makes me wanna .... -insert x-rated thought here-. I feel like a Libra lately when I think about New York. Yes. No. Attracts me. Scares me. Oy vey.
Tonight's headlines: controversy about a mother's tragedy. Her son disappeared during new year's here in Chicago. She offered a $25K reward for news of her son's whereabout's, dead or alive (actually there was no mention of that, just $25,000.00 to find him). Well someone found him (sadly, dead) and she apparently doesn't want to pay the whole reward amount. Who's right? Who's wrong? You decide.
- extended intermission -
Phewww! Just got back from my walk and dayum is it humid out there! No air, no wind, no nothing to breathe. Okay, so I did inhale some weed from one of the corners I happened to walk by. No help though. Just made me think naughty thoughts which only added to my sweatiness. Yuck. To top it off I walked by a couple of bars and boy did that beer look good. Yum. Hmm. Maybe I should take a cold refreshing shower and go out for a small drinkie. Nah. The weed my drift my way, make me drink more than I should and I might end up in the backseat of a cab with some cab driver twice my age. No thanks. As I walked through the darkening neighborhood I noticed there were many places where a would-be thief/rapist/murderer might hide. Yikes! I wasn't scared I was just aware of my surroundings. I completely forgot my stun gun but at least had a key with me. I had it prepared between my fingers and as I walked I practiced in my mind what I'd do if someone were to jump out at me. Let's just say I think I'm ready. Jackie Chan watch out!
Until then...
