Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[MeanDean]

Some friends (the ones who introduced me to Strongbow in the first place) brought a 12-pack to our grill party on the 3rd of July, with gold apple, honey, berry & ginger. We sampled all four flavors. There are 8 bottles left in fridge. They will probably remain there.

Are you suuuuuuuure you can't smuggle some original flavor back for me?

Bought something called Worlds Best Damn Cherry Cola for the Pepsi bottle vending machine. Tried one bottle. It's not.

You ordered special shoes just to ward away mosquito bites?

No need, just soak your socks in DEET like a Minnesotan.

Screw adulting, I don't even want to human today.

Already googled best places to retire overseas this morning. Panama City keeps popping up while I want a mythical community in southern France with French people who speak English and aren't rude. Like I said, mythical.

We're always our worst critics, trust DH, CG.

this is very true. Before I was much into working out, I didn't like how I looked and avoided tighter clothes. I'm comfy with fitted tops now but fitted items on the lower half are probably still a mental hangup.

 

[cowgirl836]

I guess what I am getting at. If DH says you look amazing in it as it is don't be so worried about losing weight. I am sure you will look awesome and if he is anything like a man he will not be able to keep his hands off of you.

hey if he wants me to wear it to dinner or whatever with just us, I think it's fine for that. Wish I'd had it for Jamaica! Was more trying to decide if it was appropriate for a family wedding.

Add this as your new signature. 55 is right. :smile:

As long as it's more appropriate for a wedding than what this woman wore.

I actually hear good stuff about some of the smaller cities in Panama.

However, now that malaria and scurvy are pretty much gone, you don't have the original excuse to drink gin and tonics anymore. Now you would only be drinking them because they taste good in the tropical weather.

It'll be appropriate. At worst, somebody might say that it is "scandalous" but
once the family members talk to you they'll realize that you're still the same person. Generally, using the word scandalous in this sense is a compliment anyway.

At our wedding, one of my groomsmen's wives wore a dress that some of the other women were talking about. I think they all lauded her courage in wearing a dress like that to a somewhat conservative place like a golf course in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

I'm nearly done with my week from hell at work. As I was just pondering doing a little celebratory drinking tonight, my friend texted me, "We're doing tacos, guac and beers at our casa tonight. Come on over around 7."

He used the term "casa". Obviously he's keeping it authentic.

He tries. His last name is Rivas but he's about as Mexican as Taco Bell.

Now searching for Rivas in KC for my dinner plans.

Oh so you're having ostrich meat tacos?

As long as it's not that wild parsnip that people have been talking about. That looks painful!

Many years ago helped look for Evelyn miller when she was missing. Thought I was in mustard but unfortunately it was parsnip. Blistered pretty good, but didn't itch terribly.

I've had a couple of those. Plus actual work keeping me from doing any real deep thought posts. And also I don't want to think deeply on current events today.

Since its mostly the ****** mood I'm in, I've had several work emails I've written and decided I'd better not send as well
