"F'n Fingers Broke?", Part Deux.

Yes, I got yet another "message" from Efen. I'm not sure what it meant, other than possibly "Get off your ass and update your blog, bitch." God, what a sweet talker he is! Drips with honey, I tell ya.

So another week has passed, and I'm not even going to go into all that crybaby "I'm so busy" bullshit with you people yet again. Y'all know the drill. I see that I haven't picked up any new followers, although I'm not sure why there's not more of a demand to subscribe to this high-speed blog. I update very nearly once a week now, so I can understand why it would be hard for people to keep up. Quite honestly, I don't understand why I haven't LOST followers, unless it's just curiosity and they want to find out whether or not my disappearing, hooker-heeled, meth-scarred body was discovered in a dumpster behind the K-Mart. (Geez, that was weird. And just to answer the question, it's a definite "not yet".)

Work has been really busy...blah blah blah...*see previous post*...blah blah blah....oh, but I did find out that I won't have to make the long drive to Staunton just yet. I'll be sticking with 2 stores within a 90 minute drive, at least for a few months. And I'm still trying to hire someone part-time, so if you're in my general vicinity and need or know someone who needs a part-time job, give a girl a holla. (Ron, I already told you...it's just way too long of a commute. But thanks!)

I'm so ready for vacation. My beloved Mimi and I are planning our annual May beach trip. We were thinking about a cruise, and may still do one later in the year. Quite honestly, I am looking forward to a solid week of just rest and relaxation by the ocean. We sleep and read and drink and soak up the sun and shop and go out for dinner every night and don't follow a schedule whatsoever. It's heavenly, and I cannot wait! We always have the best time and come home feeling truly like we've had a great vacation, rather than being exhausted because we felt like we had to pack in a bunch of "fun". We're going to take a day and drive over to Charleston SC and scope out where we might want to stay on our next trip....I love Charleston, and we always say we're going to go, and we never do. This time, for sure...it's simply a beautiful city, vibrant yet relaxing, and I love to daydream about living there.

Seriously, I need a pink waterfront mansion, y'all.


Lola and I are going to go curl up in bed and not watch the Oscars. (Why? The red carpet is over already, and Perez Hilton and People Magazine will have all the must-know info. (Surely there is a Jacques Pepin cooking show on somewhere...he's my current old French chef crush. My current not-so-old-French chef crush, Eric Ripert, doesn't have a show of his own. But he totally should. ZEXY!)

Peace out, bitches.

14 Ramble on, y'all....:

I put the Oscars on and then realized that I didn't see any of the movies up for nominations. I guess my taste is gore and sex doesn't cut it for the Academy. I'm back to watching Uma Thurman cut people's shit off with a samari sword. Hope you have a great week Elle. Love Ya.

I'm excluded from the get go? Geesh a guy gets no respect. Here's hoping you get the vacation of your dreams.

Evil Twin's Wife said...

Thanks for popping in (Thanks, Efen!). Try to give me a call when it's convenient for you, k? We're trying to plan a lunch date! :-)

vinomom said...

I haven't watched the Oscars for years. Probably because I watch about two movies per year.

I am obsessed with the idea of visiting Charleston!

I know how the busy busy blah blah gets to you...I used to post so much more often than I do now. But I still look forward to seeing what you are up to!

GiGi said...

Mmmmm, Eric Ripert...yummy! I have always wanted to visit Charleston, too. Your vacation plans sounds really relaxing.

Elle said...

The Girl: LOL, yeah, I guess the Oscars somehow look over all the good stuff ;)

Ron: Well, it won't be the vacation of my DREAMS...but it'll do til I get there :)

ETW: I promise I will call soon.

Vinomom: Thanks for hanging in there with me ;) And Facebookers...go to my page and find Vinomom and friend her!

GiGi: Totally relaxing, can't wait. And YES on the Eric Ripert thing...he's so smooth and French and stuff ;)

Christine said...

I think you should set up a phone tree so that in case that dumpster thing does happen, we won't all be checking back here until we are old and grey.

Have a heart.

'K - Looooooooove Charleston! Just beeee-u-tiful!!! And, Eric Ripert - ooooh,honey! He was on a episode of Top Chef recently & I just kept rewindin' & lookin' at him & hearing him talk about the proper way to cook "feesh" - oooh la la....;) tre Zexy indeed...

Efen said...

Yeah...I guess I'm the voice of 'consciousness'....and frankly, I'm tiring of it.

Never been to Charleston...was in Hilton Head last May...uh...the same time you were in Charleston..remember ;);)

Jay said...

I think Charleston would be a cool place to visit. I'm with you on the just hang out at the beach type of vacation. It sucks to come back home more tired than you were when you left.

Trisha aka Mrs. Wally said...

Nice to see that you are not dead in a dumpster somewhere! Glad things are going well. Exciting about the vacay!

We still luv ya even if you are neglecting us ;)

MsPulp said...

Love the pic of Charleston. I spent lots of time there and just love it!

honeywine said...

I need a pink waterfront mansion too. And a French chef. I wonder if Walmart keeps them in stock?

The Kitchen said...

Glad to see you're back! I've missed ya!
Hey, sure wish I were upt here to make the long ride to Staunton! I had many wonderful years there in college! One of my favorite places to eat on the planet is http://www.mrsrowes.com/ in Staunton!
