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.

;D

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.

:)

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?

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.

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.

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.
