Turning Pointe
I’m sorry it’s been so long since my last post. This week has been just non-stop. And since I have to wake up at dawn to be at work, I haven’t been able to stay up late in front of the computer which is when the urge to update usually hits. Don’t worry, though! I’m adjusting the urge so that it will hit in the afternoon. Speaking of work, I just wrote a long and semi-amusing story about this mocha fiasco that happened today, but I decided that I’d better not tell work stories on a blog so I deleted it. That’s how people get fired and Lord knows I’ve never needed help getting fired. If you really want to hear it, I’ll tell you in a private e-mail or something, but until then I guess you can use your imagination.
Thanks to all of you who remembered my birthday with phone calls and e-mails! I’ve got love for all of you who didn’t, too! Lord knows I never remember birthdays either! My friends from the ski club took me to Souplantation which is a salad/soup bar restaurant like Fresh Choice or Sweet Tomatoes. It was really good. I filled up on julienned squash.
Speaking of food, I looked at some financial records the other day and realized how astronomical my food bill has been these past few months. It’s time to economize. Don’t worry, though, I’ve got a plan. I’m going to start buying my produce by the case which gives me a discount. Plus, I’m going to choose cheaper fruits. I’m sick of mango and papaya anyway. Bananas are where it’s at. I just have to get somebody to give me a ride home from the store with a case of bananas. I thought about taking a cab, but that would be like using gasoline to put out a fire.
Shout out to Roderick and David who came to San Diego last week from Chicago and New York, respectively. We had a blast chasing gay lawyers and playing Marco Polo in the hotel pool. Also, we learned that cab drivers will let you get away with a lot, but there’s one thing they won’t permit.
I don’t want this post to end. I’m having so much fun. I know, here’s a preview of my weekend. Tomorrow: day off, waiting patiently for two birthday packages, really hoping they come. Saturday: working, maybe seeing Shopgirl. Sunday: skipping the Farmer’s market…last week’s dragonfruit supplier screwed me over! Also, look forward to learning about my new, outdoor exercise program!
