Mood:
caffeinatedI am feeling like CRAP today. UGH!
I got off work yesterday and ran over to the mall. My plan was to hit Charlotte Russe and if they didn’t have anything I would wander over to NY& Company then on my way out of the mall I would check out Dillard’s. Charlotte Russe always has some cute stuff so I was pretty sure I could find something. I found 2 dresses and a top and ran into the dressing room to try them on. I didn’t like either dress but I loved the top so I bought it. Headed over to NY&C and they had nothing. So I stuck to my plan and hit Dillard’s. They had some really cute dresses but I refused to pay $60. So in the end I only got a top. A quick call to Lennie on the way out of the mall assured me that it would be okay to wear pants. The plan now was to wear my sexy black pants and my new top which is a little strapless number that is white with black roses.
I ran home, said a quick hello to the animals, called the recycling center to inform them that their guy skipped my recycling bin AGAIN, and stepped into the tub for a quick shower. Annie was to pick Lennie up at 6 and then they would head to my place. So that meant I had till 6:20 to get ready. I was making good time. Make-up on…hair done…and about to slip into my clothes when the doorbell rang. F***! I glanced at the clock and it read 6:15 PM. This can’t be Annie and Lennie. I threw on some clothes and ran to the door. I opened it up and there stood Lennie (I need to get him a key) with a not so enthused look on his face. He said that Annie was still at the pub and that her daughter Roxanne was supposed to pick him up. He waited but she never showed so he came on over to my place. We were hoping that Annie would drive so that we could drink but now Lennie would have to be DD. He was not happy.
We drove over to Andy’s (woman cooking the dinner). She just moved into to a really nice apartment complex. It has a pool, weight room, garages you can rent for your car, and a movie theater. Andy informed me that she had reserved the theater so that we could watch a movie. She brought out appetizers and Champaign while we waited for the other to arrived. Finally Scott and Roxanne showed up but still no Annie. We decided to eat dinner without her. Dinner was great! It was salmon over rice served with a curry pineapple sauce and fresh baby carrots. We must have gone through 3 bottles of wine. After dessert Annie finally showed up. She works WAY too hard at the pub. I sat there and chatted with her while she scarfed down some food. Then we all headed over to the theater.
The movie for the night was called Acid Nation (I think). It is a Scottish film and even through they are speaking English, their accents were so strong that the whole movie was subtitled. It was totally bizarre. I think Lennie and Scot were worried that my view of Scotland was now tainted. When the movie ended I glanced at my watch 11:30PM. WAY past my bedtime. We headed home and I immediately crashed.
I woke up this morning feeling like someone took dump on my brain. Why did I drink all that wine? I could really go for something greasy right now. I may have to make a Bojangles run.
Tonight should be quiet. I have a guy coming over to buy that spare bed that has been taking up space in the house. Then I am going to run to Lowes to get pots for the jasmine and maybe a palm plant of some kind. Just looking forward to a night at home.
