fullygoldy: Sting Performs Roxanne (Sting)
Finally!  Therefore, I give you Sting!

I got back from MN on Thursday afternoon, and passed out in deference to the hangover I'd had to ignore since 6:22 am. (MB is not allowed to buy me anymore beer, especially not Alpha King!)

Friday I went to the office and the box was on my desk.  Spent half the day getting stuff reloaded and making sure the email would work and transferring files and favorites since I'll be back on the road to Joliet (via Waukesha) come Monday morning.  Mostly the process went well, except for the fact that while trying to load Quicken on his laptop, DH encountered a fatal error that somehow also managed to wipe the active and backup files that I had put on my flashdrive for transfer.  No, we don't know how it happened.  I was seriously pissed though.  


Now that I'm reconnected to the web, I can catch up - spent a lot of time last night reading stuff I couldn't read at work, and I've got to beta a story that's been waiting for a month, and finish writing the story I'd revived from the dead right before disaster struck.  I've got a new list of "posts I haven't made" which includes restaurant, movie and book reviews, Mavis's head shots, a conversation with a soldier, and my mid-life crisis.  MB recommended "The Art of War" as a business read, and I'm seriously considering some continuing ed to get a couple of certifications.  So, there's a lot of stuff in my brain right now, and I wouldn't mind letting it leak out all over my journal :)  But not today.  

Today's plan is to make a shopping list, get groceries, make sure the boy gets to his various appointments, make sure DH has all the stuff and support he needs to make his contribution to the "Food on Fire" themed ABDC tonight, prep my "Fire Extinguishers" beverage (a fancy cucumber martini), spend the afternoon catching up with friends, spend the evening eating and drinking (but only to excess), and find out if my haircut renders me less kissable. Tomorrow will be brunch, laundry, housework, work work (just a little) and early to bed.  There might be some time for journaling.

Oy Vay!

fullygoldy: Yellow Roses (Oh Yeah)
Earlier today, I was tempted to write this:

"Hangover. That is all."

Last night I learned that if you don't stay in training for heavy duty partying, you can't party like you normally would. These past couple months of cutting my alcohol intake by at least half seem to have left me a bit of a lightweight. Because before the diet? Those 2 tequilas and 1 beer with dinner, then the 2 beers, 2 pints water, 2 vodkas and the last tequila shooter (over the course of ~6 hours) would have left me quite tipsy and playful, and hungry for hash browns in the morning. Instead, after getting home, I spent half the night praying to various catch basins, tearfully apologizing for ruining the fun by being sick, and forgetting several quite interesting verbal forays, one of which apparently started with "I am a slut and I want you to...." you get the picture. I don't even remember much of my Bday spanking!

I finally recovered around 5 and put on clothes and finally took the fam to the mall for our annual xmas trek. We actually avoided most of the traffic by going at that time, and while the mall was still full of shoppers, in most of the stores we had minimal waits to check out.

Also, if I keep off the weight I lost last night till Monday, I will have lost 10 lbs!! Yay me! And Mavis is pleased for me, but also weirded out, because I will be only 5 lbs heavier than her. But she is all muscle because she's 15 and works out almost every day, so even if we weigh the same, I won't be able to wear any of her clothes! But I will be wearing the blue sequins. So there.

Rupert has decided to go to school each friday dressed in a different musical genre. The first friday he had Mavis help him put together and "emo" look. Yesterday was the second foray. He went to school dressed in blue jeans, chuck taylors, a lavender dress shirt with a black silk tie (it wasn't actually skinny enough, but it was all he had), black eyeliner and his hair gelled into a mohawk. It was totally "Sex Pistols" early punk. Next week I believe "acid rock" is on the schedule. After he left, it occured to me that we'll be going through an all new round of girls calling the house to speak to the boy. He had just gotten them to quit, LOL. When he got home, I asked how his outfit went over. He turned pink and said, "I think I was pretty sexy. I had two people ask to lick my head." After I stopped choking, I warned him to be ready for the phone calls.

Who Needs Fandom?!

fullygoldy: Goldy's Ray is Ray K (GR)

Well, I do, obviously, but when real life hands you some fun, boy-boy interaction, it's a plus.  The following tale of adorableness by two RL boys is intended only for fun, and I apologize if anyone is offended.

This all started last weekend when I went to DH's work party.  Two of his buddies, Ronny and Ty (names are changed to protect - someone) were there.  Ronny is 30-something and Ty is the aforementioned 20-something tadpole.  These two are excitedly telling us about their day hiking/climbing at Devil's Lake, and they're affectionately bitching at each other in the story and while telling it.  So that's hint #1.  Ronny is twisting his foot around as he speaks, and fluttering his hands like crazy.  Hint #2.  Ronny looks and acts like Chandler Bing.  Hint #3.  And both of them switch to telling us how excited they are to be moving soon to Charleston.  They're going to work together.  Hint #4.  So I turn to DH, and say, "they are SO doing each other!" <squee>.  He laughs and says "yeah."  He now knows I'll be watching them for more slashable moments.

After a bit, Ty calms down, we start talking and this is where the flirting ensued.  He mentions girls quite frequently, so I adjust my perception to Bi.  But Ronny is still gay, gay, gay.  Ty invites us all to go to a luau party a friend of his is having, and we're just drunk enough to think more partying is a good idea.  Five of us pile into Ty's little Nissan, with Ty and Ronny up front, and we make the trek across town.  If we had realized we were going from our neighborhood to Westport, we probably would have passed, but it was too late to go back by the time we figured it out.  We arrive when the luau has pretty much wound down, and meet our hosts.  They're a co-habitating gay couple.  They were very nice to us total strangers, and plied us with alcoholic rootbeer floats and lots of good food. Yum!  Ty mentions to me that he hangs out with these guys all the time, and they cook him dinner almost every Sunday.  I'm thinking "I bet they'd like to make him more than dinner."

We didn't make it home until 1:30 am, and a large part of that had to do with the car.  This night was the cause of my last hangover for the week.  Wednesday night, DH tells me Ty's evening didn't finish until 6:30 am Sunday, because after dropping us off, he picked up his girlfriend and they went to another party where "all the girls were naked, all the guys were in their underwear, and everyone was doing E."  I'm thinking, the guys were probably not in their underwear for very long, and E wasn't the only thing they were doing.  <smirk> Thursday, DH mentions that Ty has invited us to meet he and Ronny at our favorite pub on Friday (last) night. 

Last night, we get there before the guys, and have a pint and some delicious wings.  Ty and Ronny arrive, and this time, it's Ronny who's in flirting mode.  More pints, and a shooter, and Ronny says, "you want to come over for low-country boil?"  Of course we do!  Just because we don't want to live in SC anymore, doesn't mean we can't appreciate southern delicacies!  We run home to pick up the red-skinned potatoes, and the fresh corn relish DH made, and then head over to Ronny's.  Ty runs home to shower before dinner. 

While we're waiting for Ty and getting the boil started (I got to play with the cleaver), Ronny shows us all this beautiful art of his mother's.  Lots of studies of Rainbow Row and the Battery in Charleston.  Really really nice stuff; she's a very successful artist.  And some other original art picked up from around the world.  And his extensive collection of cookbooks, and I'm thinking, "yep.  Gay.  Only a gay guy's loft apartment would look like this."  Ty arrives, and over a very delicious boil, he tells us the story of another buddy/co-worker, who had to call him up this morning to tell Ty all about the dream he had about Ty & Ronny: They were moving to SC and Ronny's wife didn't know that Ty was moving with them, and Ty was pissed at Ronny because he hadn't told her, and apparently the dreamer was trying to smooth things over for them.  Can you see my point?  They are SO doing each other. 

This is where Ronny suddenly mentions his absent wife, the PhD in Performing Arts who is currently touring with an Opera company.  He hasn't had any 'good love' since April!  "Wait! Wait! You're married?" "yep."  Look at DH, "he's married?" "Uh.  Oh yeah.  I knew he had a wife somewhere, but she's never here, so I forgot."  ROFL  I thought the wife in the dream was just a dream-wife.

But.  Until they move, I've got my very own, RL slashfest going on under my nose.  Because they are SO doing each other.
