105 Ain’t Got Nothin’ on 138 Ya Heard!… and my first adult vacay (sorta)
So much has happened since my last post it’s hard to pick a starting point, that’s why we’re just going to skip over all that and introduce you to #105. Don’t worry, i laughed, i cried, i’m sure i yelled at quite a few things, all in all a typical week.
Last weekend i may or may not have gone to unsaid dance hall, possibly with a fellow blogger and we may have been just the most dressed up peeps in the joint. Truth be told, we were supposed to go somewhere else but plans fell through right around party-o-clock, like they do, and we were all dressed up with no where to go…yes, a lot like my prom. Anyhow, we ended up at this aforementioned dance hall. In front was a table with a sign for some contest, now normally i A) never get asked to join said contests and B) never approach the table…normally. But that night not only did they sweeten the deal by asking/telling me to sign up but they gave me a free drink and the prize was $50.00….apparently i felt i needed that 50 enough to scope it out. Basically we wore a number and there were “secret judges” aka sleezoids scoping us out as we made our way around this place. i was assured all i had to do was go on about my normal routine and never would i have to be brought out on stage in front of the entirety of the bar. Yeah okay…thus i became #138. Judging from the clientele that evening i was sure that i’d get at least one of the spots….i mean they give away $400.00 a night…i mean one of those 50s was mine.
WRONG! Enter #105… middle aged (which if you haven’t guessed i’m a little shy of that thank you!), bleached hair, bad perm, roots…she tried with the dress but mine was A) cuter and B) i got it on sale so it makes it that much better. i don’t mean to hate only on her…i mean there was white shirt who, please don’t get me started on her dancing… and i don’t mean to sound so high an mighty either, i’m just sayin that 50 should have been mine! i spent the entire night smiling at complete strangers that were probably staring for all the wrong reasons for nothing! Ugh, all i’m getting at is, if that was the “look” they were going for then they should have called it “dream girl of the really bad 90s look.” Okay cleansing my Karma now, sorry to sound like such a hater…i’m not always so critical…no really don’t roll your eyes i’m not! I’m working on it anyway.
Speaking of growing up, this weekend is my first adult vacay…sorta-kinda. My NYC trip in November was an adult vacay too but, but this weekend i’ll be actually going to the lake and staying in a condo by myself for some much needed peace and quiet! Oh, and my family reunion is going on about four blocks away. i’ll attend of course but my big hopes for this weekend are as follows:
1. First rested nights sleep in two weeks
2. Work on my tan…i’ve actually got a base tan started woohoo!
3. Did i mention peace and quiet
4. Tan, tan, tan.
Pictures of my little Shangri-La will follow. For now i’m packing up and tuning out for the weekend. Until then!
