Oh yeah, I did something interesting last night that I can't even blame on my drinking.

I spilled a drink. I have never done that before at a party. I happen to have a slight tremor and sometimes my hands kind of give out. My mother understands, since she has something similar.

Thankfully, there was some oxyclean, and a very very fun man name Michael who helped me remove the stain.

The cocktail party was most amusing. Elizabeth knows some very fun people. Most of which seem to be men. Most of which seem to be very very cute.
She fed us terrific food (which I know she was worried about) Made wickedly strong drinks and I heard one of the funniest lines last night, "of course he was gay, he owns a kitchen-aid."

That had my laughing all evening.

Plus my outfit was terrific! Pearls, super high heels, and lot's of leg.

I think I am going to lie on the sofa, listen to the calming tones of Charles Osgood and think about how I get to see Howard Dean today.
WOo

One hell of a good party giver that girl!

How do you get to meet Howard Dean today? That's cool!

I love the Osgood Report. His voice is so soothing. Kind of like Bob Ross who had that show, The Joy of Painting and spoke of 'this happy little tree lives here' and using shades of 'raw umber, vandyke brown, yellow ochre...'. Never failed to put me to sleep.

single men who live on their own rarely own kitchen-aids.

Bob Ross was the best, "a little titanium white on that beautiful water."

Wow...You will probably confuse and seduce a lot of women that way.

I know. They will think, "hrm...wait, is he?" and then you can put the moves on them and they might think, "am I converting one?"
and then you will bake them a cake. they will think, "maybe he was just testing the waters."
Then you do bad dirty things with the cake and they will think, "hrm...do I need to pick up my dry-cleaning."

the end.

lies! lies!!

i am very straight, i own a Kitchen-Aid, and i'm about to use it to make sage-verbena-thyme pesto.

so there.

however, if it will help in the confusion/seduction thing, more power to it.

"hey, babe, wanna see my appliances?"

Remember I said most single men.

The few that do are extremely dangerous and truly shouldn't be let out in the open population.

So many women are seduced by kitchen appliances.

A lot of men could have probably lured me into their homes with promises of showing me their kitchen-aid.

Hell, Andrew lured me into this place by offering to make me dinner.

I am too easy.

the dinner thing works.

though not tonight, on any front. my fettucine stuck together, my pesto was too mild. i'm definitely off my game.

must make a sacrifice to the Kitchen-Aid ...

He made me dinner and he had an actual dining room table and chairs. None of this "card table and folding chairs" stuff.

He admitted he bought the stuff so it would improve his chances of getting a girl.


Everyone has an off night when it comes to food.
I think it has to do with how your soul is feeling.

the soul thing would definitely explain it.

as it turns out, i DO have a real dining room table. and chairs, sort of. wouldn't hurt to buy some better ones.

of course, it wouldn't hurt to have a better place to house it all in ...

Sometimes I just can't cook. I try and the food turns out horrid because I feel awful.

My family has commented on it. They said when I am feeling angry they can tell by eating my food.

I have seen your dining room table and chairs. But You also have a kitchen aid.

I think of some old boyfriends...they had the over-priced black leather couches. The big bar, the million dollar view...and a card table and folding chairs for dining room furniture.

I used to have a kitchen-aid.
My ex-wife sold it.

The bitch. You should have taken it.

Though it proves my point about something I once said, "most kitchen-aids last longer then the marriages."

It certainly did last longer than the marriage. That KitchenAid had been my mom's when she was married (we're talking about the late 70s). My ex sold it in a garage sale before we got married, then got a new one as a wedding present and took it with her when we divorced.

Oh well. But after writing that last one, I just walked down the aisle at Fred Meyer looking at KitchenAids.

My mother's kitchen-aid is from the late seventies. It is that harvest gold color and pretty neat.

That seems a bit sad that she sold the old one, aqcuired a new one and took it with her.

Sad, well, life happens.
I didn't think so then, but with enough years behind me I know that a mixer was a cheap price to pay to be rid of her.

the thing about angry food is totally true. in its most extreme form, arsenic is involved, but it happens far short of that.

all i need is some decent high-backed chairs. and to clear several tons of pilot manuals, flight slips, sectional charts and a rickety printer off the table. and buy some new candles. and put little bowties on the cats. 'cuz, y'know, i hear the chicks find that real cute. mmm, cats in ties. what could be better?

there is astounding truth to this, actually.

Who doesn't love spats.


One time I saw a bantam rooster wearing a top hat and bowtie.

He looked pissed.

I kinda like top hats.
I can pretend I am Marlene Dietrich in Blue Angel.
