on this fine saturday morning i happened to be signed on and the computer happens to be functioning properly so i will take advantage of this allignment in the stars to type a blog. not much happening in the lonely buford house today. beanie is licking the couch. she is an odd one. i trap her in the computer room with me so as to not give her an opportunity to poop all over the house (which backfired a little bit ago because just just stood behind my back and dropped a load) so she uses the time to either sleep or sit on the groovy pink pinapple couch and lick it. ok...
i emersed myself in an interesting cultural experience last night: bar hopping in the thriving metropolis of leavenworth, kansas. yikes. one of my coworkers is at the epicenter of insanity at work because of the time of year and her job position, plus, she just ended a 5 year relationship. so a couple of us decided we all needed to get out and about. i was not ABOUT to spend the gas to drive to a bar in KC, plus, drinks would be rediculously expensive and it would be too crowded with 22 year old slutty people. no thanks. so leavenworth it was. the first bar was actually pretty nice. they food wasnt bad, and i was able to try my hand at shuffleboard. not that shuffleboard is at all complicated, but i was surprised to find that i'm not too bad at it and i look forward to trying again. i enjoy going out for drinks on occasion but i am so vastly inexperienced and always on the lookout for new beverages to try. and i like shots. that way, you get some taste, but if it's not a good taste, then it's not enough to have wasted your money. so i tried 2 new shots: sicilian kiss: southern comfort and amaretto. and peach fuss (i think?): southern comfort and peach shcnapps. both were good. then i had some parrot bay and pineapple juice. quite enjoyable. horay for trying new things!
the 2nd place we went to was apparently a regular hang out of christinas. this was not the scene i would have oridanrily placed myself in, but it was fun all the same. the sproting event of choice at "Tom's" was darts. i am very grateful that there was such a relaxed atmosphere at Toms because i am absolutely horrible at darts. i am also very grateful that they had the plastic pointed tip instead of metal because i accidentally dropped it on my toe and was wearing flip flopps - effectively stabing myself in the toe. i think that takes some skill. i also did some dancing. there was kareoke and all that amounted to was country song after country song and drunk hillbilly mumblings not even close to the actual tune of the song. but towards the end of the night they randomly threw in the electric slide and cha cha cha or soemthing like that so the 3 or us girls ran to the floor, much to the enjoyment of the disgusting old drunk people at the nearest tables, and danced along - thus bringing the total on the dancefloor to 5. i know i am not doing justice to the atmosphere of this place. despite how totally disgusting it was, it was really a lot of fun. but at the same time, i'm good not to go there again. although it was nice to get out of the house. i am missing my husband terribly and have spent the last couple of nights hanging out at home just wishing he would call. so diversionary tactics of last night were good.
on another note: i did get to talk to him for 3 minutes yesterday but i was in the middle of an inspection and he was on his way out the door. he met with the surgeon about his back and they seem to think he has some sort of condition resembling arthritis in his pelvis and he will be getting injections. that's all i was really able to get out of the conversation and i'm very much hoping that he will call today. havent talked to him since last sunday otherwise and it sucks much.
