A Sunday off

This is beyond unusual. I slept past the time I normally would have been dressed and on my way to New Vision. Now, I'm about to clean out Ruby, do some laundry, and go to Fry's to just .. shop around.

This is Mikey's 40th birthday weekend, and we've been hitting it pretty hard. Friday night, we went to EJ's, and sat out at the patio bar. It was PACKED, and the young dancer boys were in fine form. I kept them coming back (with tips, Mikey's too thrifty, and they don't orbit back around) so that he had the attention he deserved (after all, you only turn 40 ONCE, unless you lie about your age.) We were buying jell-o shots off of the jell-o shot boys, and I can't remember if we had eight each, or twelve. But, it was a lot. There was a very nice hispanic girl there who was clearly the "beard" for a few of the dancer boys, and I bought her a few drinks. She chatted us up a bit, and insisted that we meet her back there on Saturday night.

Not that we needed much persuasion.

Curt agreed to meet us out there, and we ambled over around 9:00 last night. It was VERY quiet, compared to Friday night. We hadn't been there but a few minutes, when this tall blond boy (who was wearing very little, he was clearly there to work) came up and glommed onto me like a barnacle. I know that I didn't tip him very much the night before, but .. there he was. He did the usual dancer thing of wandering around, but he kept coming back. Invited me to a party on Crystal Beach (uh, no) and said he's in town (he lives in Texas City) four nights a week to work at EJ's. Interesting.

Also, ran into Brandon, the boy with the word "FRY" branded on his butt. As he calls it, "My big old ghetto butt." That was fun.

Came home around 11:00, goofed around a while, and then slept until 9:00 this morning. WHAT a deal! Did you notice that I didn't mention Jarred? I didn't miss seeing him at all? Yeah, neither did I. When he skips back to J'burg in a few weeks, it will be no loss.

a bit later

Mikey and I just got back from Fry's and Wal-Mart; Wally World had silk drapes that were the right size, lined, $25/panel, and the color is close enough for government work. Thanks to Matticia for saving me about $170! Also had to replace my trusty Sony DVD player (six years old,) and buy a wireless router for the computer here at home.

So, I have to hang the drapes, fold laundry, install the DVD player, and the air filter, and walk the dogs .. and be ready for trash disco at 7:00. I need a nap, too!
