Wow! Page 13! Is it DECEIT's opening? The full moon? The weird weather? Rexella?

Before the show, I went ahead and indulged in some retail therapy. I'm not sure I really found a complete outfit for Monday night's gathering in NYC, but I did manage to walk out of Old Navy with 12 pieces of clothing for just $49.90 plus tax! Not bad at all.

I would have walked out with more, but, thankfully, I stuck to my rule about trying everything on before buying it... And I'm glad I did. I realized they had changed the cut a little bit on their t-shirts, and some of the colors were a bit non-complementary... I did not let the temptation of the "sale" get to me.

However, I did get some great deals. I got a flannel pullover for just $1.48! And I also found some great workout clothes - I've been needing some long-sleeve, cold-weather wear - including two light-weight thermal jackets for just $4.86 each - down from $24.95! *And one of them was not marked with the sale stickers, but since I saw one in one color... I was so glad I asked at the counter, "Is this on sale too?"

Gotta love that "disposable clothing".

OH!...

And it's MAL this weekend in DC. -Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend. Lions and Tigers and Bears and Bears and Bears and Cubs and Cubs... Oh my, oh my, oh my!

*If you're not sure what MAL is, well... Google at your own risk... Or enjoyment.

So... I'm sitting in La Madeleine having my dinner - the roast pork loin with rice pilaf and green beans almondine - and I'm reading a copy of The Washington Blade - one of the DC "special interest" newspapers... I was shopping at Border's next door, and had grabbed a copy there.

This man comes up to my table, grabs a couple of napkins and starts writing down something. Hmm... I'm thinking he's just trying to write down some phone message or random thought like that - he looked sort of in a hurry... Well... He hands me the napkin...

"Are you going to the big MAL event this weekend?"

OOHHH!!!!!

I look at him slightly confused... -Did he not want to say that out loud?... I say, "No, I'm working, so..." -Oh, he's deaf. So... He grabs another napkin...

"You could come hang out and meet hundreds of hot looking and handsome men."

I just smile and giggle while he goes to get his food...

Then he comes back... another napkin...

"At the Washington Plaza Hotel."

I sign "Thank You"... -The Washington Plaza Hotel is basically the HQ for the event.

And then on another corner of the napkin...

"Are you done with the Blade?"

Yes, I am... And I give it to him.

-Very funny and cute meeting. And it totally made my evening.

I feel out of place here being located in the Buffalo commons.

Hey you Hainsies and Kimlets in NYC...

I was just checking the weather forecast for this weekend since I'm probably driving up Sunday night after the show...

Snow?!?!?

-It only says about an inch, but still... Snow?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #367 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:25:16 PM »

Don't get me wrong, I actually like snow, but I had not heard anything about the possibility of some frozen precip until just now.

Do you have any idea how I am literally foaming at the mouth in anticipation of calling AOL to cancel?

Or you could do what happened at our house: Dear Son (DS in internet lingo) sent a mailbomb (whatever that is) and they cancelled ME for LIFE. Yes, I am banned from AOL for life.

TPunk, did you have a birthday cake? Didja? Didja?

TPunk · « **Reply #372 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:35:06 PM »

However, they no longer have the 2 for 1 drink special. Which is strange because I specifically asked about it last week when I made the reservation. So, as a consolation, they gave the table a free round on the house.

No cake, but A LOT of margaritas.

I would consider that a compliment.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #378 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:36:58 PM »

So, I answered the phone at the church office today, and a woman said:

"No, it was the other one -- the other brother -- the one from the Temptations. That was the one."

And then she hung up.

I have no idea what that means.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #379 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:37:22 PM »

Well, TPunk, did you take a picture of the margaritas?

TPunk · « **Reply #380 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:37:29 PM »

Wait a second, when did that happen. I have achieved God status!!!!!!!

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #381 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:38:37 PM »

Woo Hoo! Congratulations, TPunk, on becoming a GOD on your birthday.

I did the same thing.

Guess it's time to find a new Mexican restaurant for the HHW get-togethers.
