Swirl was fun last night, particularly with the menorahs all blazing and lots of yummy wine. We took some wine and went and sat out in Alcee Fortier park – it was a gorgeous December evening and someone had strung white tiny lights on makeshift Christmas trees in the park and across the street in front of Cafe Degas there was a tree with red lights. All so beautiful. While we were lighting the menorah,…
What could that ever mean? Tonight, I am only milking wine and maybe winning some money at a game or two of dreidel. After a week, not unlike many weeks in 2006, it’s Friday, it’s New Orleans, so it’s off to Swirl to be with my friends and bring cheer into our little worlds. Next year, the time changes are going to be earlier then later because a new law passed about daylight’s savings time.…
So yesterday was a downer, today was a downer, and I thought what am I going to do? So then it came to me. I called Ken in Michigan and asked him if he would work directly for me on a weekly rate. We had discussed this months ago but I had nixed it because I couldn’t insure him and feared that if he couldn’t fuck me, he’d certainly sue me, thereby taking away the…
Yesterday it was pouring down rain and I went to lunch with the contractor after we inspected the three windows that are leaking into the addition. He presented me with a bill as I said that was three times what he said it would be a month ago. I bit my lip but couldn’t help it and started crying there in the restaurant. Such a girl. Good grief. I went on to drink five Cosmopolitans…
20 months into the remodel and again the new window is leaking and the sheetrock, again, had to be ripped out around the window and again, the glazer had to be called, and again, the painting had to cease, and again the electrician is a no show (2nd day), the carpenters to replace the carpenter on vacay in Michigan are no shows (2nd day), the remeasuring of the cabinet that has to be shored up…

When we were pretty young – like around 5 and 6 – my mother would go out and run errands and leave us in the house by ourselves. Kind of unheard of in these days – much like kids standing up on the front seat while you’re driving – anyway, she had it all under control – she had painted a face on the hot water heater – blue eyes and big rosebud lips with…
My friend Gomez and I debated the use of cologne a while back and I told him I wasn’t too into it but then again sometimes I liked it – depends – but I usually like men au natural – that man smell is rather intoxicating to me – so one time when I knew Gomez was going out with a hot chippie I text him “ease up on cologne, cowboy” – meanwhile, I just…
Last night when I went to Lowe’s to look for a JD light bulb for my ceiling fan, this guy, Thomas was helping me. He was trying to talk me into getting a chandelier bulb and I said, it doesn’t say JD on it. I asked him to look up JD on the computer. Another salesperson was on the computer in that department just noodling around – it was obvious – I said tell him…
