I have seriously been the laziest little girl (outside of work) all week. Of course, I've worked nights since I got back from the island. And that includes last night. Long weekend Sunday. Only bar open past 12:00. Full capacity from the get-go. Super-fun.
Today Danica came to pick up my little chicken and spend time with her for the day, which is great. She'll get to socialize with another pug, and Danica's going to check her out and see what some of her behavioural problems are. My little cutie- she was so excited as soon as she saw "the lady from the shop who gives her treats" AND a car ride to boot (we *love* car rides...) Then as soon as they started pulling away I could see her little square wrinkle-head pop up and there was that split second of "but... mummy's coming... right?" before they drove her away.
She's just too cute for words. Sigh.
So... my life. Right. Don't have one except for work. That's not true- Bettina and I have been whipping up a frenzy of BettiLu activity, which has been keeping me sane these days...
But in lieu of some strong aggression I've been holding onto since I got off work last night, I'd like to send some advice out into this crazy world we live in. Just a little LuluMae advice for the masses.
Ahem. Alright.
1. Very important. If someone you supposedly "miss" mails you a care package of home-baked cookies and other fun stuff, have the courtesy to call this person up and say "thanks." Or perhaps "hey, I got the package. Cool." Or even "your cookies were good, albeit a little dry." Anything. We aren't picky.
2. Don't tickle your waitresses armpit as she walks past you with a tray full of drinks above her head. Why? Two very good reasons. Dangerous. Inappropriate. I'm sorry, did I TELL you that you could touch me?
3. If your waitress braves the floor of the full-capacity bar to bring eleven draft-glasses full of triples to YOUR ungrateful ass, do me a favor. TIP HER. I don't push for the tip-on-one-drink on a slow night-move, but come ON people.
Phew, I could go on with that for a while. Hmm. Note to self, start an "Advice for Customers" list.
4. If your friend works nights, don't get pissy if she doesn't answer her cell at 10:00 in the morning. Or she might have to retaliate and call you up when she gets home at 5:00 a.m. and say "Hey, why aren't you up, lazy ass? I'm going for coffee, come with me!"
5. Appreciate your friends. Appreciate the people who fix your scooter tires, take you to movies, listen to your tireless bitching, tell you that if they weren't taken, or if they weren't a woman, that they'd date you. The ones who break into song and dance (ie- Carmen Miranda) on cue and then join you in public to do the same only in front of hundreds of people. The ones who bring over SATC Season 6 and move to a whole new city to be closer to you. Appreciate the people who tell you that you're great. I do.
6. Don't go chasing waterfalls.
That is all.
