Last night after I blogged, Steven, JoLynn, Aimee and I walked down to The View and had a couple of cocktails. The View’s a (gay) bar and not a club, so we sat on couches and watched music videos and were nearly able to talk. (Until the drag queen puppet bingo started, then we decided […]
In which I prove I will go anywhere with my husband because I’m totally fucking superior. Saturday I went to Davenport with Mr. Brett to a motorcycle swap meet. He had money burning a hole in his pocket and wanted to, and I quote, “Buy something cool to drag home in the back of my […]
OMG, we went to Iowa City today! Brett rolled in around 2:30 from somewhere… I’d heard him drive off around ten this morning but hadn’t spoken to him so I didn’t know where he was going. Since it was Sunday, I assumed Bo’s and football on the telly. He said, “Do you still want to […]
Tahmi whisked me away to Des Moines yesterday. Our mission was two-fold: drop off some of her jewelry for entry in the Iowa State Fair eat lunch at a Granite City Brew Pub. Rough, huh? Hah! I love being on Tahmi’s ‘I need to run an errand and want a passenger’ list! Especially when she […]
I forgot to tell you we went to Pella last Sunday to celebrate Brett’s mom’s birthday. Krista served surf ‘n’ turf: steaks and shrimp off the grill, and broiled salmon, along with a Caesar salad and corn on the cob. Yum! Then, oh man. Then: the pièce de résistance – she served an ice cream […]
I got home from Mt. Pleasant around eight or nine in the morning after being up all night for Devi Bhava. I brought my shit in from the car and promptly crashed. I slept all day, waking just before Brett got home from work. Amma was awesome, in the literal sense of the word. (I […]
Today I’m doing laundry and packing for my three-day sojourn to Mount Pleasant, where I will work my ass off and sleep only six hours a night while I perform the duties of the Seva Desk at Amma’s programs. It will be wonderful and exhausting and I’m really excited. (If you’re coming to see Amma […]
We did go! The eBay guy paid! I’d sat moping in the living room staring at the TV feeling sorry for myself, then decided to come upstairs to email the motel and cancel our reservation, and LO AND BEHOLD there was an email from Paypal saying we’d been paid! Fucking halleluia! I skittered downstairs like […]
The guy didn’t come through. So we’re not going. I’m out a hundred dollars worth of tickets I can’t sell, and probably the hotel fee as well for not cancelling 24 hours in advance. This sucks. I’ve never wanted a mere couple hundred dollars in cash so bad in my entire life. I’m going to […]
When Brett and I go to Chicago, we like to stay at The Lakeside Motel because it’s cheap, weird, and centrally located. The last time we went to Chicago was in 2002, and I’d totally forgotten the motel’s name and address. After literally hours of googling, I finally found it. Whew. And only 8 miles […]
