Between The Devil & Me

A trip to Keeneland was made yesterday and I proceeded to loose about $20 respectively. I would like to win sometime. When I was a wee one and my family would go I'd always win something. Apparently the 10 year old bettor is more proficient than the 21 year old. Oh well... I must say though that I had the best whiskey sour in some time. I've gotten used to Mia's Southern Comfort base as opposed to Jack Daniels. I don't know about you but I do believe Jack is my new drinkin' buddy.

I've been really racking my brain over a good Halloween costume and I think I might have found it. I'm going to wear my scrubs with a hand-made sign that says either "Free Breast Exams" or "Free Pelvic Exams". I'm not sure which I'll do, if I'll even to either but it's still an idea, albeit a tacky one (Thanks to my dyke-at-arms friend Mendy).

I recently saw the movie Saved! and it's quite entertaining. I was completely and utterly distracted by the character Cassandra played by Eva Amurri (Susan Sarandon's daughter). Pictures don't do the girl justice, so see the movie to get the full experience. She is exquisite.

I guess all she needed was Nexium.

Everybody Is Working For The Weekend...

I really do feel that I update frequently but apparently not. One thousand apologies dear reader.

I am now officially on vacation! YAY! I don't have to be back to work for ten whole freakin' days.

*Runs Around The Room*

And on top of that terrific news I get to see one of my most precious friends in the whole wide world in just a few days! I haven't seen my buddy Meredith in over a year and finally the wait will be over. Wee! Richmond, IN here I come!

I'm also hoping to go to Keeneland tomorrow but I don't know if the weather will be permitting or not. It's the last week and I need to have my whiskey sour and burgoo damn it!

So Girl A didn't work out as hoped. Some how the fact that she was currently seeing someone just really never made it into the equation until I had my proverbial "dick in the wind" moment. So the nun idea is again looking festive. Someone please break this curse!

BTW I am reading this fantastic book right now called Conquering Your Quarter Life Crisis. It's really good and I recommend it to anyone in their twenties and early thirties. Go buy it!
