Was it good for you too, dear?
Mood:
chatty
I’ve been remiss in posting, I know. It’s not that nothing interesting’s happening, it’s just that I’ve been too gosh-darn lazy to blog about it. So here’s the Reader’s Digest condensed version of the past couple of weeks:
Had my 42nd birthday, husband sent a huge bouquet of roses to me at work. Awww! Romantic evening - complete with clichéd (but very enjoyable nonetheless) making out in front of crackling fireplace - ensues…yum! ;)
Took my fave soulchild Cole to Olean’s comic book shop – just a couple o’ geeks hanging out, trying to decide what to buy. For some reason I kept thinking of Jay and Silent Bob. Stopped by my new favorite t-shirt place in Allegany and got two awesome new ones - Pink Freud & Frankeinstein.
Pleasantly surprised and honored by a nomination to fill in a vacated spot on the Board of Directors for BLT – this whole theatrical thing is starting to grow on me. Maybe I should see a doctor for some ointment or something…
Peter Dinklage making out with Joely Richardson! Yum again! I swear by all I hold sacred that if I got the chance to kiss The Dink like that, not only would I donate a week’s pay to PETA, but I’d become a vegetarian to boot. Are you listening, Pete?? :D
But on the down side - would it have killed them to show us a little more?!? Apparently, the idea of a man with dwarfism having sex with a “regular size chick” is too much for Nip/Tuck. Funny, they don’t seem to be squeamish about showing anything else. :P
Halloween was sort of a bust – we normally get a couple hundred kids, but since it was drizzling all day & night, we got a lot fewer. But Cole “Doctor Strange” and Chance “Capt. Jack Sparrow” came over and handed out the candy for us in lieu of slogging thru the rain. And while they were doing that, Casey’s soccer team won their district playoff game and get to go on to the state finals!!!
Kevin had his 42nd birthday, and to celebrate we went to the Century Manor for dinner where I had the most delicious escargot I have EVER had. They serve ‘em up in a roasted garlic cream sauce that is so good that had I been at home, I’d have picked up the plate and licked off every molecule. I had to satisfy myself with mopping it up with bread (and surreptitiously licking my fingers). The rest of the meal (Manhattan chowder, surf & turf, garlic potatoes) was just sublime. With food that good, I can forgive them for the unbelievably tacky neon palm trees out front.
So now I’m more or less caught up again. I’ll try to do better, I promise.
