I slept in today. And I mean slept in. Until noon.
After finally getting my ass in gear, it was an errandy kind of day for me. I started off at Target at Lynn Road, where I was sure I’d be able to get some onion and pepper relish that I needed to make a dip I had committed to bring to a party tonight. No such luck. While there, I bought two cards and a pair of frames for some art work Robert brought me back from his New York City trip over the 4th of July. |
My next stop was at the The Bull Chute, where I wanted two things:
- To see if there was anything I could get Carl for his 50th Birthday, which is Monday, but whose party is tonight. (Hence the dip commitment.)
- To see if they had any 100% black cotton t-shirts for me. (They didn’t.)
I left with a real nice picture frame, one with a cowboy hat sticking out of it in an upper corner, and catty-corner to it on the bottom side, a pair of cowboy boots. It was a little more than I wanted to spend on a gift, but I really liked it, and thought it would be a perfect gift for him.
Next, I thought I’d try one other place for the onion and pepper relish—Whole Foods on Wade Avenue. Incredibly, no luck there either.
I ended up at Food Lion to get some Tostito Scoops and some Velveeta cheese and a can of Rotel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies to make another dip that I like.
In spite of being out in BFE, Carl’s 50th birthday party was fun. They had several of their neighbors (straight people—Egads!) there, who were nice, but Robert and I spent most of the time talking to Catherine, who is also one of Carl and Bill’s neighbors, but is a Lesbian. She was there with her partner, Cindy.
Note: I have not been to the gym for two days in a row now. Unacceptable. Got to get back to it tomorrow.
