In which a full weekend looms! Finally, proof that God loves me and wants me to be happy!

Tonight, I have an all-girl dinner date with Aimée and Barbara, at Aimée’s house. Barbara’s making tofu enchiladas and I’m totally excited. (She’s in town for some battle of the bands thing Bambu did a few nights ago; normally I don’t see her so many times in a year.) After dinner, I have rehearsal with House 11. I haven’t seen my band in a week and dang if I didn’t miss those little rascals.

Tomorrow I’m working, because Buzz has been out of the office nursing his woman — who just had eye surgery — back to health, and he won’t be in again tomorrow for that reason. Since I need the hours, this working-on-Friday thing is actually good news.

And tomorrow night? A PARTY! A bona fide motherfucking actual party. The Holy Couple are having their engagement party at the Dead Cock, upstairs in the new restaurant for a small group and then a free-for-all down in the bar for the rest of the evening. It’s about time there was an event; no one’s bothered to throw a big party in this town in ages. I’m seriously thinking of taking seperate cars so that Bread can leave at 9:30* without utterly pissing me off.

I’m going to wear my tux pants and the shoes I bought for New Year. I haven’t made a decision on what top to wear yet, but I don’t have many tops to choose from. In fact it’ll probably choose itself by virtue of being the only one that’s clean and matches my slacks.

(*Last Friday Bread and I went out. Twenty minutes after people I actually knew showed up, Bread said, “Are you going to kill me if I tell you I want to leave now?” ARGH! We’d been there for two hours by that point, and I’d quietly sat by myself reading a book while he socialized and played pool with his friends and monopolized the juke box. When folks I knew showed up and the tunes swung toward dance instead of “classic rock,” he suddenly got tired and we had to go home. *bangs head on desk* Another chilly drive home where I fumed and stared out the window. Ah, wifedom.)
