Saturday, October 05, 2002 Red red wine you make me feel so fine. You keep me rockin' all of the time....Count 'em up kids. That would be 4 bottles of wine drank last night. It makes it sound like we had quite a huge attendence at last night's Friday night dinner. But to actually let you know, there were 5 of us. And Julie and Pnut's friend Steve got there late too, like right when we sat down to eat. So Pnut, Brian (Suzy's neighbor) and I pretty much took care of a bottle apiece while we were cooking. And headaches and hangovers abound today. But from what I can tell (or remember for that matter) a good time was had by all. After dinner, we all headed off to Tonic, this bar/dance club in Ponti-crack. Where we (or mostly just Pnut and I) proceeded to dance like no one was watching. Although I'm sure people were. Watching. And likely laughing. But it's all in good fun. I had a blast. And we ran into a bunch of people that were AHS alum. Including my homecoming date from senior year. And I just love it when he points out, 6 years later, that I had a swim meet that day and missed all of the pictures. I thought I was the only one who remembers that kind of shit. (I literally came home from my meet, showered, had my mom fix my hair and left straight to the restaurant for dinner). And he still had to wait downstairs while I finished getting ready. Ah, don'tcha just love setting adrift on memory bliss....So yes, last night was a good good time. I think next week we're going to have to put bowling on the agenda again. And less wine. That needs to be on the agenda too.
I'm coming to you directly from the Roch public library once again. My dad was trying to install this virus protection software on both of our computers, and has entirely fucked both of them up. He can't get either of them working at all. Good job. So I'll likely be making quite a few visits here. In the near future. That or just writing all of my blogs from work. Work schmirk. Who needs to actually be productive when you're "working"? That's the beautiful thing about being on salary. Man would it suck to have a commission job.
Today is my mom's 60th birthday. Isn't that crazy? She's not too jazzed about celebrating it, but we are all going out to dinner tomorrow. I'll bet that you haven't made a reservation for 17 just for your immediate family before right? I'm proud to say that I have. She's so going to love my gift. I bought her the DVD of Singin' in the Rain. Although I make no promises that it won't suddenly vanish when I move out.
Well, I need a cup of coffee and a nap now (not necessarily in that order), so I'm going to go. Enjoy the rest of your beautiful weekend!
