Well, it was #1 after all!! Shiny faxed it yesterday.
Shiny said, "There's just NO reason he can't help you since he makes so much money. And
you're not the one who cheated!! Hey, if you do the crime.....you do the time!!!"
"Dang tootin'!!" Said I.
Plus, Slag is footing a lot of bills. Heck, he's on EEEEEEEAAAAASY Street!!!
Awww....and Shiny read the letter to me and it was so eloquent!! Of course the Dark Side won't appreciate the eloquence, it will only enrage them and make them do this:
Yeah, Shiny was hilarious today! But he usually is.
I told him I didn't like talking to guys because they always have a secret agenda. So he's all..."Well...the last time I checked my driver's license....I was a guy!!"
I said, "Yeah, but you don't have a secret agenda, except for food!!! And that's no secret!! All my guinea pigs are lined up with their mouths open and you're at the front of the line!!"
He says, "And don't forget, you won't forget, right?!! Don't forget!!"
Awwwwww.....so SWEET!!! You just can't not like someone who loves food!!
He's really going to have to keep up with his diet now...he has a sweet tooth and when I have homework....look out!!
Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to open a bakery/deli or a restaurant. Whatever it is, Shiny will eat gratis forever!
It'll be just like in the Sopranos with Artie and Tony except I won't have to worry about Shiny's captains coming over for a cut of my profits.
But I WILL have protection!!
I also told him that I told my cousin he had asked about her, (she's still in rehab) and how thrilled she was because she thinks no one cares about her, her self-esteem is really low. He said, "Well, I DO care about her."
Awwwwww.....and they haven't even met yet!
He also said he'd put it in writing and sign it for her. I told him..."Well, she'd just be tickled pink!! And it's not easy to tickle HER pink!!!"
So we had a good visit.
Yeah, I think I'm going to ask him next time if he would be my adopted brother, or uncle. (Since he's WAAAAAY too young to be my dad!!!) I don't have any male influences in my life anymore. They all died or they are far away. And my Dad has this thing where he always has to be right no matter what. My sister was even too intimidated to tell him about her engagement! And my brother, well, he's in SF and he's my LITTLE brother. Shiny is really close in age to my uncle who died so horribly in 2000. There's only a 2-year age difference. And that uncle was really like my older brother since my Mom was 16 when I was born. I get along really well with people that age. Because I grew up with them. They made me older, in a good way!! Taught me lots of great things. That's why me-n-Shiny get on so well. So...I'm losing a husband and gaining a brother!
And IF I ever decide to date again....I will give them Shiny's card to call and pass the Shiny test. If they have the guts enough to call, I might just go out with them!!
So, after I left Shiny's, I called Mom to see if she made it home through the mess on the freeway with the evacuation. Yeah, she took the secret back way.
That's what I did after belly dancing, took the OTHER secret back way. Smooth sailing alllllllll the way!! Then I saw the interstate after I came out from a road from BFE. WOOOOO!!! STILL almost a parking lot!! And we're 50 miles from downtown Houston!!
I would have been okay either way because if the traffic was really bad, Shiny said I could come over there and wait for it to die down. That was real nice of him. But since I know the secret back roads home, I took them. Darn!!
I wouldn't have minded laughing for a while more. Ah well, maybe next time.
Yeah, the police department here wants us to evacuate but we aren't going. I hope my house makes it through. We haven't had a bad hurricane get so close to us for a really long time. Since the 80's, at least. Yeah, I think it was '83.
This house wasn't here then. Well, I'm not going to worry about it. I might pack a few things in case I need to bug out of here. Good thing my insurance is paid up, payment was due tomorrow but I paid it today over the phone to make sure it went through. LOL! I don't know if it will matter since a hurricane is an "act of God," but there is a giant oak tree in just the right place to get knocked over on top of the house so it might cover that if it happens. I hope not, though. It's a really nice tree. And there are a couple of others that my grandpa planted. I don't want to see those go, either.
Well, that's enough yakkin' from me tonight I guess!!!
Must be all that malicious gossip!!
