Obviously the answer for the past 2 weeks has been Not to Blog. So Hi there deprived and depraved readers, and we'll get right into it. We have so much to cover from the Family Dinner, the Grammys, The Oscar Nominations and my so called life.
The Family dinner was a huge success. For Christmas, we gave everyone gift certificates for the Galleria with the intention we would use them for a nice anniversary dinner for my parents. With 7 of the 8 siblings in attendance, plus the parents, we were already busting at the seams. But with it being Jimmy's Father's first birthday since his passing, we asked Miss Kitty and Tom to join us. We arrived to have almost everyone seated, except Richard and Katie who were still searching for their gift certificate. It was certainly one loud and enjoyable evening. With so much talking going on, poor Miss Kitty didn't have time to dwell on Joe's passing. She spent too much time in amazement that so many conversations could possibly go on at once, with certain people involved in 2 or 3 of those conversations at once. Everyone got along well, until the conversation of the gifts Jimmy and I gave for Christmas. It seems "The Coven" believes we were overly generous with certain people (obviously not them). I got the gist that they were going to form a committee that from now on screen oour gifts. Well, Jimmy and I considered their advice and dismissed it quickly, especially when the final bill came and only a select few offered to help with the difference.
During last week, I received a phone call from a some Wacko looking for his girlfriend Betty. I informed him that I was the only person here and had no clue who Betty was. That didn't sit well with him, because he knew I was doing her. Really? When I said he sounded just like the Lady in "Chicago" that says "You've been screwing the milkman", it so went over his head. I let him rant, and informed him he was totally wrong. But that didn't dissway him. So I asked what he looked like, and when I was generally impressed with his answer, I informed him that the only way to get even was for him to sleep with me too. The next sounds were Click and Dial tone. Guess he finally believed me. Some stuff I can't even make up.
I had the pleasure of doing a double bartending nite. So I worked last Sunday for the Grammys. I pulled in a decent crowd, except those who had WWE wrestling, or had pre-alzheimer amnesia. I didn't really get to watch much of it, except the opening number of Lady Gaga and Lady Elton John. Other the wanting to electrocute that whole Emcee thing, I was wild over the number. They really meshed together great. I already have downloaded the song and video from ITunes. All the seats were filled until the Michael Jackson Earth number. One of the customers brought in enough 3D glasses for everyone. After that number I lost half the crowd, when my parents and Dizzy walked in. I have to be very grateful for my life, since I don't think anyone else has worked in a gay bar and had his parents and 4 siblings stop in and visit. But enough with the grateful, since customers were clearly smitten with Mom and Dad. My mother even offered to dance on the stripper pole. I reminded her that I had enough trauma from my childhood, and did need any setbacks in my therapy sessions. I was at least lucky enough to be heavily medicated that night, due to my back pain, so I was completely sober yet still hazy about the whole night.
Monday night I continued my drug induced bartending. I had my back brace on for support, which also has the added plus of tucking in the tummy. We had started league pool night, and I was promoting myself by buying the first drink. It made for a real decent night, and I learned how to make Jaeger Bombers from the straight pool team. I was able to sweep my pool games and we took our tournament 3 out of 5. See what properly balanced medication can do.
I will have to continue my updates tomorrow because we are off to Aunt Barbara's Tupperware party benefiting Auntie M's helping hands. So I will have to continue this tomorrow morning. Enjoy Lady Gaga and Star Trek and Tata for now.
