hey all! the blind date went well. i'm supposed to go out with him tomorrow on a paddleboat (there's a work dinner or something on there/shindig thing)
he brought me flowers -reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally pretty ones... (gigglemom was impressed and said to me later "they're one of the prettiest bouquets i've ever seen")
went out for sushi in bradley beach - good time... filled with tuna and salmon rolls (and an ichiban roll which i think had eel in it --- and i really love eel.)
then we headed over to one of the local bars (sans Bennies.) and had a few pints.
All in all, I had a really good time. We'll see what's what (don't go posting "get married" or "have his babies" because I must tell ya' that that stuff makes me uncomfortable --- i'm just saying :}
in about 10 hours I have my 20th class reunion.
very excited about it!!!
I was driving around in phooka this week with tanning accelerator slathered on and then i went to hollywood tans --- which i always forget that i've been paying monthly for --- and so the past couple of days i went there and stood in the booth for 6 minutes.
i am slightly sunburned (or lamp-burned technically... but since i got the initial pinkishness while driving the convertible, i'll say sunburned.
i need to moisturize throughout the day and then start getting ready at around 6:30. I know that sounds a little late, but, the Belmont Stakes are today and I'm going to watch it and root for Big Brown to win the Triple Crown!!!
UPDATE: alas, he came in last. I respect Kent Desormeaux for pulling him up before he injured himself
It's about time (30 year) that there was a Trip Winner. I was heartbroken the year that Smarty Jones lost the Belmont... I think Big Brown looks great and will have a VERY good chance at winning.
Speaking of Smarty Jones...
That day of the Smarty Jones Belmont, was when i met PeeWee for the first time - after she was a long-time reader of my blog.
In any event, she's over on Easter Island THIS WEEKEND... is she standing there looking at the heads?
no.
Is she observing the local wildlife?
no.
Is she running a frigging 26.2 mile Easter Island Marathon?
yes. yes she is.
Here's the info on that marathon.
She's been there for a week.... doing THIS
Very proud of PeeWee!! You're effing insane for doing this, but, I'm proud of ya'.
That said, I'm waiting for Hillary to make her suspension speech in a little while.
Whatchoosayin'?? (4 yapped)
Enjoy the reunion! Please kick the following people for me: Glenn Neighbour, Kevin Garrett, Scott Ellison, Dina Strada, Debbie Pear, Beth Dignard (will be there with John Knight-kick him too) and Melissa Wondrack (will be there with Mike DeSarno-kick him too).
I actually REALLY wanted to go cuz i was going to know so many peeps, but alas....
Look forward to the photos and stories!
[note from GC: i got new shoes yesterday, so, they are ready for kickin']

Wait, a blind date? What happened to the other guy who left you the flowers in your car? Was that the same guy? I'm confused! And being drunk makes it harder...
