In which there’s so much to tell you. Oh my babies, such a weekend! With pictures, even. Friday The Holy Couple’s engagement party was celebrated Friday night at the Dead Cock. There was a party of 30 upstairs in the new restaurant; we were the new kitchen’s guinea pigs. The food — buffet-style hors d’oeuvres […]
In which a full weekend looms! Finally, proof that God loves me and wants me to be happy! Tonight, I have an all-girl dinner date with Aimée and Barbara, at Aimée’s house. Barbara’s making tofu enchiladas and I’m totally excited. (She’s in town for some battle of the bands thing Bambu did a few nights […]
In which I get out of town and laugh my ass off. So my girlfriend took me out on a date yesterday. She took me to Iowa City and we saw a movie and had dinner and coffee. It fucking rocked. I totally needed a girl day. The movie was Chronicles of Narnia, which had […]
In which we visit chez DeSchepper-Flora, and eat. Saturday night a group of us descended upon Mr. J in his home, at the behest of his woman, to celebrate his birfday. She’d made nachos, soup, and appetizers, and there were cookies and pie and a variety of tasty beverages. Hilarity ensued. Actually, both Bread and […]
In which there’s a full moon, Friday the 13th, and Amazon Blonde’s birthday all on the same day. Friday night we went bowling for Amazon Blonde’s birthday. I bowled three games (scored 111, 113, and 112) and drank a lot of cocktails. Bread bowled one game. In each of my three games I bowled a […]
In which I got wasted by accident and for no apparent reason whatsoever. So I left work at five last night and drove homeward. I turned at the Libertyville turn-off and stopped at the Dew Drop for one drink. Just one, because it sounded good. Okay, maybe two. Sure, I’ll have another, thanks! What the […]
Strange but fun: a New Year’s gig with two extremely different bands. This entry is extremely long… YHBW. I went back to town with Bread. At the hotel, he split for the bar to order himself a burger and a beer, and I headed up to 265 to put on my face and change into […]
In which I go to Ottumwa. Oh, and talk about the NYE gig. Yesterday Tahmi called to invite me to join her for lunch and a movie in Ottumwa. Her mister was cuddled in with his new Xbox 360 and wanted to be alone with his new mistress, so she needed to get out of […]
In which we do the family thing. Today is Christmas Eve. Since I married into one of those weird families who open presents on this day, we’ll be loading our goodies into the truck and driving to Bread’s sister’s house in Pella in about an hour. There, we’ll sit around drinking White Russians (we’re bringing […]
