Bartender, another Margarita, por favor!

Oooookay, so I did drink most of the Margaritas, but do you think they took the back pain away? Of course not. That would be too efficient.

Anyway, I did almost nothing today. So, when M called, I said I'd just been hanging around waiting for a phone call. No laundry, nada. So I took the obligatory shower but then decided that street clothes were the last thing I needed to wear over. So I just wore my lounging gown. Capelet sleeves, low cut neckline and ankle length. And that was it, together with my capelet. And I jujed my hair up; I solved the problem of the too short length by putting it up in two ponytails, one above the other - and then affixed a hair clip with a poofy sheer bow over the straggly ends. Yaaaay, I can haz cool hair and no dripping down the neck.

After the shower, I prepared the lovely Greek salad (English cuke, Spanish onion, two tomatoes, yellow pepper and NO lettuce) and tossed the veggies into a baggie - I intended to add the other ingredients and dressing at M's. And I cooked the shepherd's pie (half in the oven and half in the microwave). I called M and said to expect me at 7. M, BTW, loves the way I did my hair. Hee - I feel pretty. Considering the way I've been feeling lately, that's a major improvement.

Anyway, we had a lovely dinner and I stayed until 10. M was still zonked out by yesterday's trip and just needed to collapse into bed. If I'd gone through the experience, I'd be more than zonked. Too many people (which translates into too many strangers for me).

It's cooler now and that's nice. I think I'm going to stay up and watch a certain episode again of a certain show that shall remain nameless but, if you know me and use your imaginations, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I need the distraction.

Culinarily inspired hugs,
