Miscellany

Saturday, May 22, 2010
I've been a busy, busy human this last week. The fabulous Jeri was visiting Denver for a business meeting, and we both took Thursday and Friday off in order to spend some time on shopping, massage, and pedicures. I also had a get together with old friends last evening on the other side of town after I dropped Jeri off at the airport.

Basically, I've spent the week leaving the house and being around other people. You all know how I feel about THAT.

So now I'm feeling a bit thin and overextended. I intentionally schedule my life at a slower pace than I used to, and when that pace is increased (even for good and fun reasons, as this last week), I do get somewhat stressed and it aggravates my insomnia.

In any event, here are the things that have been going on that I have had no time to blog or tweet about due to the breakneck speed of my life:*
  • For those of you following the daily details of the health of the Boogie Dog, he has been diagnosed with sinusitis, and is now taking antibiotics to see if we can't clear that up. He's kind of a snotty dog at the moment, but we're hoping he'll be feeling better in a day or two.
  • When we were at the massage place on Thursday, the woman at the counter was telling us about some pervy guy who had been calling all day looking for a "sensual massage." Um, no. Not likely. Turns out the individual in question had been banned from the franchise for exposing himself to a massage therapist in an attempt to secure the aforementioned "sensual massage." No happy ending for you - may I recommend a trip to East Colfax?
  • In an act of solidarity with the Gimpy Michelle, yesterday the UCF Trollops painted their toenails in various shades of purple:
  • I bought three pairs of shoes and two Coach bags during our two days of shopping. Having the UCF Trollops here is bad for my shopping budget, but fabulous for my style. Hmm...shoes. And BAGS!
  • Tonight the Smart Man and I will be attending a wine tasting downtown with the Incomparable Anne™, the Fabulous Stacey and JR, and various and sundry other folks. We've never been to a wine tasting before, and since the Smart Man enjoys wine, and there will be other beverages available for me, it should be fun. Because really, what I need to do is to LEAVE THE HOUSE AGAIN and BE AROUND MORE PEOPLE. Just kidding - I'm looking forward to it. But you can bet I won't be going anywhere tomorrow.
I'll be back to my normal schedule this week, and I hope that will resolve some of my insomnia issues, as well. Fabulous week, but I'm glad it's over.

*Um, yeah. It's not really "breakneck." It's more like, "faster than strolling."

You have to go out to compensate for the fact that I've hardly left the house all week. Though I went out *twice* yesterday. Which is part of the reason I'm keeping my foot up for the rest of the weekend. :)

Welcome, Mary!

If you really wanted to show solidarity, you'd break a foot instead of just painting the toes the same color as Michelle's Frankenfoot.

:P

Eric, I think we should come down and break your foot in solidarity.

Eric has already broken parts, so he showed pre-solidarity.

Wine tastings (in my opinion) are fun. We have one in town the last Wednesday of every month, and I've learned a lot about wine, as well as getting to taste some fabulous wine and spend some time with friends.

Hope the alternate drinks were acceptable. ;)
