mrs-roboto's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Catching Up Stress can do strange things to a body. For example, I currently have a burst blood vessel in my right eye. It's ugly but apparently harmless. In fact, I have 20/20 vision in the gross eye and 20/25 in the clear eye. So despite being hideous and deformed, I don't need glasses. Hooray for me! Any idea what type of New Years Eve dress goes best with eye ooze? In other news, I had a busy, busy weekend. I went to see an Elvis impersonator at the Muckleshoot Casino in lovely Auburn, WA. I'm not sure what's the most embarrassing thing about that last statement; the fact that I went out my way to see an Elvis impersonator, the idea that I went to a crappy, roadside casino, or the sad truth that I ventured to this suburb of my own accord. Oh, I should add we went to see the matinee show which happens at 1:00 PM and we were by far the youngest people at the casino. At one point, my girlfriend Jess was commenting on how empty the place was. She was shouting across the table so that she could be heard over the Little Richard impersonator. I hollered back that I believed the reason for the low attendance must be because this is also the morning that the Senior Citizens get their free cheese from the government. Unfortunately, the music stopped just as I began to shouting my remarks thus allowing me to start the day by insulting the elderly. But I am swift and can easily avoid being caned by the droves of individuals in walkers. I also got Elvis' autograph so really, it was a good way to start the day. After the show we headed back to the city, where we prepared for yet another outing to the 'burbs. Pete's office had their holiday party in the magical land that is known as Issaquah or Chain Store City, as I refer to it. There are dozens of McDonalds, Olive Gardens, and Chilis in Issaquah. I saw a Red Robin and a few Wendy's and a Target. I think the towns motto should be "Consumerism Starts Here." I'll have to campaign the mayor. It's one endless strip mall and in case you didn't know, I despise strip malls. The gathering we were to attend was in another chain restaurant and the organization that my husband works for has a policy against purchasing booze for the employees so as you can imagine the shindig was really happening. After that it was off to the lovely and affable RDG's pad for our last and best gathering of the evening. There were different kinds of cheese and much wine and holiday music and we stayed till long after I got buzzed. It was a nice way to end a busy Saturday in December. I have more to say but it will have to wait till things slow down a bit. Just know I am thinking of each of you and wishing you good cheer! 4:44 p.m. - 2002-12-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
