America's Got Talent, or apparently, Pacific Northwest's Got Weirdness
As I blogged last week, AGT made it clear they were looking for Weirdness in the Pacific Northwest. So I wasn't surprised that I didn't receive a callback last week. I'm okay with that. And what's funny is, I saw this article on Yahoo News today all about people who had been rejected by American Idol, only to go on and be big, like one chick who won five grammies this year, but was turned down for AI twice.Late Valentine's Celebration
So, we finally did our Valentine's Celebration this weekend. On Saturday, my husband, my girlfriend, and I all piled into the car for a long day/night of fun-filled activities. First, we went roller skating. It was the first time in 15 years or more than any of us had been roller skating. I still ache. But none of us fell! And we actually had fun. Luckily, immediately afterwards, we had scheduled the hot tubs. There is a local place that has private hot tub/sauna rooms that you can rent for an hour (or more). This was a great follow-up to something that made our legs ache. So we lounged around in the hot tubs for about an hour or so, totally enjoying that, before we went back home to change for dinner. While my husband shaved and showered, us girls got ready and then had a couple "bitch shots" as we call them. They're shots of Malibu, which is fairly week compared to normal shooting liquor. But we hadn't had anything to eat all day. And thank goodness we were going to eat because I was getting irritable from lack of food. Our first stop though, before we left for dinner was at the grocery store so that we would have mixers for drinking later. My husband offered to run in, which is unusual, but I figured it was because us girls were dressed up and in heels. Little did we know it was because he was also going to pick up flowers for "each of the ladies in his life."We went to a place called the Pacific Grill. The place looked fairly fancy. The food was good, though my husband was fairly miffed about his wallet-sized fillet mignon and potatoes au gratin. I had fried oysters and lobster tail w/spaghetti. But, I will say that the dinner was a learning experience if nothing else. We learned never to go there again for dinner probably. A dinner for 3 ended up running us $177 dollars (before tip). Craziness.
The next destination was supposed to be the most entertaining, but unfortunately our guest was complaining of a headache and just wanted to go back to our place. But the next destination was supposed to be Deja Vu Showgirls. My husband and I have on several occasions throughout our relationship, gone to this gentlemen's club for part of our Valentine's celebration. Might sound awful, but it's actually a lot of fun. I end up getting most of the dances (and female dancers are more apt to allow female customers more freedom), and by the time we leave, I'm totally ready to go home and have a great time with the hubby. He got a 45 minute blowjob once after we went. So it's in both our interests :) But, we didn't get to go this year. Or at least, not for Valentines,' since our guest bitched out (she's been with us once and had a blast).
So we went back home and played some Rock Band, had some drinks, that sorta thing.
