Almost Valentine’s Day!

What to do, what to do.  I’m being kicked out of my own apartment by my daughter who plans to make dinner for her “lovemuffin”.  All I can say is that they’d better not make it a late-nighter ’cause I want to come home BEFORE the witching hour - or I will become one myself.  I have nowhere to hang out that late, so I hope she has some courtesy for dear “not-so-old” Mom.

 Going out tonight, I think, with my guy friend to a place called “Blue Eyes” - a pricey bistro that celebrates the Rat Pack and its members.  They do have a couple of martinis I’d like to try, but at $8 a pop, they’re a bit out of my league.  Even the steaks are too much for me - the cheapest being $24 and it isn’t a steak I like.  If you want salad, it’s another $3 for a wedge of lettuce.  WTF???  I’ll probably end up getting liquored coffee because that’s only $4, so I can have my coffee and my drink all on one, plus whipped cream.  I don’t like that places charge for being trendy.  It’s just not worth the price hike for me. 

Anyway - I’ll probably go out on Valentine’s Day as well - unfortunately, with the evil twin along for the ride.  God, he annoys me!!!  Can’t wait until he moves to St. Louis and begins his newest attempt at being macho.  He’s one of those people who keeps doing the same thing over and over again, even though they fail time and time again.  He never changes - always does the same stupid stuff the same stupid way.  A therapist told me maybe he annoys me because he’s too much like me.  Now - THAT scares the hell out of me!!!  Because there may be more truth in that than I want to admit.

We ended up going to a different place - probably should have gone to the first place.  The bill at the second one was $71 AFTER our coupon!!  Good heavens!!!  But, it sure was good!  Pulled pork, pulled chicken and the most tender slices of filet I’ve ever had!  Grilled zucchini, mac and cheese, onion soup, a cocktail, and bread pudding for dessert.  The problem was that everything they serve is ‘ala carte’ meaning nothing comes with anything!  You pay for every single item you order separately.  Frown
