the laugh's on her
2002-01-19 at 11:05 a.m.

Another morning of 4 hours sleep, but it was well worth it.

Mariel came in and helped me do some inventory. Of course I don't have a soul in here for 3 days, until she comes in the help me. So she had to hang around for 2 hours whilst I used my selling magic. I offered to take her to dinner.

Well, we tried this new mexican place downtown. Not a very good dinner. The food had NO flavor. Geez, at lesast give me some salt and pepper for pete's sake. he uacamole was like plain avocados, all mushed up. And the new decor is like a Denny's version of Chi-Chi's. However, they had comedians at 9:30 so I made her stay and watch with me since I love to laugh, and really needed it. Even if the comedians aren't that funny, I can force myself to chuckle a little. It's a good thing, and good for you. (although, not a good substitute for sex.. but is there any substitute?)

Since I worked at a comedy club in Michigan I stayed and rapped with the two comedians, all the while Mariel is trying to be funny. (It didn't work...)

Later one of them wanted to go out so we decided to show him the town, starting with one of our grungiest dive bars (which is one of my favorites). Funny I happened to run into almost everyone that was there on Wednesday night. Don't we have anything better to do in this resort town? Umm, not really. Well, finally Mariel left and Leon and I had the most interesting talk, laugh, talk, laugh. He's a really nice guy! That's what I hate about meeting people from out of town. I really think he would be fun to hang out with, and he loves to cook. Although he is on that Atkin's diet, where all you eat is protein and lard. But I won't get into that, alot of my friends are on it and don't believe me when I tell them how icky it is for them. I would must rather lose weight slower, and healthier. (No offense to those on that diet...)

Wound up coming to the showroom and yaking some more. If I wasn't so damn tired I would probably go and see their show tonight. time will tell. But at least I am not hungover, oh the joy!! Two nights out this week- I remember everything and don't feel like I just poisoned myself. I DID run into Liza last night, and yes I knew where she would be. She was all jealous about this guy she fucked who was with another girl. Note to Liza- don't expect a big relationship after you fuck someone you have only known for 2 hours. And then all she did was ask me if I was taking him home, surprised when I told her no. Geez, why does it always have to be a 'hunt'? I mean you can't be female and get along with a male unless you fuck him, or want to? I am really seeing things in her lately that I don't like. And then she is always kissing (on the lips) and hugging me goodbye if we are out. Like she wants to freak out her friends or whomever I am with. I'm tellin' ya'...it's all just a big game.

We have the antique sale next door today, so I hope we will be a little busy. I really need to make some commission so that I can pay rent. I have 12 days and $470 to go. Being a grow-up sucks sometimes.

I need to go to the library tonight. I plowed through 3 books in the past 2 weeks. Trying to get out of my patricia cornwell, medical/psychological thriller phase that has lasted only 21 years. Read a great one called "Kissing in Manhatten". I can't remember the author, but sure wish he wrote some others. Anyone read a good one lately? I don't like the romance novels, or Jackie Collins-type books. I just want a good story. Any suggestions? I think Miss Mimi's guestbook may halp me to, since she recently asked for suggestions.

Today I am grateful for: anther sunny day in paradise, not having to buy more Motrin, and going commando.
