The Prostitute Who Was Really a Man
It’s 7:00pm on Thursday night, and I’m on my way home when my cell phone rings. It’s Big D Girl. I adore Big D Girl; so, I excitedly answer the phone by chanting, “Big D Girl, Big D Girl, Big D Girl!!!” We giggle like school children. Then, we get down to business. She asks: “Are you going out tonight?” My plan is to go home, return phone calls, do laundry and be a responsible adult. “Weeeeeell,” I start. “I was on my way home, buuuuut I could meet up with you guys. Where are you going?”
Forty-three minutes later, I’m sitting at a trendy bar with Big D Girl, Big T Man, Pocahontas, The Black Man and Jane. We’re surrounded by booming music, comfy lounge chairs and beautiful people. We laugh as we sip from our glasses of Mojito, Pino Grigio, Cosmopolitan, and new cocktails that the waitress has set in front of us. Our topic of discussion? “What’s the wildest thing that you’ve ever done, you know, sexually?” I can’t be completely sure, but I think the winning story came from the person who once had sex with a female prositute who, in reality, turned out to actually be a man. I love New York.
Five hours and several cocktail rounds later, it’s midnight. Shit! I owe the Fair Maiden & The Bride return phone calls, but it’s too late to call. And, I haven’t called The Groom to remind him that he’s the third guest on Dating Roadkill on Monday. I haven’t spoken to my schmoopy-pie Sid in DAYS!!!! And, not to mention, my friend MD flies in from Chicago tomorrow for the New Year’s Eve weekend — but, I haven’t done anything to prepare for his visit. For example, all of my spare towels are dirty & I haven’t cleaned my bathroom. Procrastination. How and why does it always happen to me?????? One of my goals for the New Year is to organize my life a little better. New Year. 2007. Hmmmm … how about you? Any goals, resolutions, or plans for the New Year? And — because I’m a nosy sum bitch — tell me, what are you doing for New Year’s Eve?

(I’m back!)
2007–No more Dating Bozos. Getting serious again about writing my book. Using my new sewing machine to finally make some of those stacks of designs scattering my apartment. Get finances under control. (HA!) rest of list is in progress…
NYE plans–probably nothing as I’ve been battling the flu for over a week now. Exciting, I know.

For the first time in many years, I will be out for NYE. We’ve got plans with friends at a northside Chicago bar. All we can drink for $60. Of course, I won’t consume my fair share because I am wise enough now to think about how much football watching on Jan 1 I’ll miss if I do.
Goal for 2007? New job.

2007! Well, I’ve already accomplished one of my goals- to stop drinking during the week and limit my indulgence to the weekend. I was drinking every night. maybe just a couple of beers but it was every night without fail. It has made a difference in how I feel in general. and I enjoy the weekend buzzes so much more.
The big thing? Quit smoking cigarettes. I have set a quit date for March 15th. Why March 15th? time to mentally prepare and start a real exercise routine on top of my 3 puppy walks a day. The thought of getting fat is pretty scary.
I could say I plan to get organized but, chances of that happening are pretty slim….

sorry about the double post! I didn’t answer your question!
New Year’s Eve- very laid back this year but cool. I blog friend is coming to town to stay with another friend of mine. They are coming over New Year’s Eve. It will be the first time I have met J face to face and I’m really looking forward to it!

‘07 will be a continuing recovery from the debacle that was ‘06. Adjusting my lifestyle to fit the person I want to be. I’ll be adding a new condo to the fold in the next few months, so I’ll spend a great deal of time, money and energy transforming it into the sanctuary I intend it to be. I think ‘07 will be best represented by the phrase “dialing it down a notch”.
NYE will set the tone. I have no plans. I’m going to spend a very lo-key evening in L.A. Probably won’t even have anything to drink. I’ll be sober enough to do some reflection in introspection.

I am resolving to work on my posture. If I keep the slouching up, I’m going to turn into one of those hunchbacked old ladies. It is getting ridiculous.
A band I like is playing on New Year’s Eve (an early show), and then either meet a couple of friends out somewhere or go home to a cheese pizza and a movie.

Meeting up with friends, and sitting in front of a bon fire with lots of alcohol and junk food and watching everyone else drink and be silly when I be the sober designated driver for the day. Perhaps go into town to finish the nite off.
New Years day, going to the beach, hopefully it is a sunny day. Should be good!
My last New Years eve was a nitemare, but have had a great year and I don’t expect it to be any different in ‘07 :-) (not the nitemare!!!)
Wish you a happy and prosperous New Year and the 365 days to follow. Go crazy and don’t do anything I wont, but that also mean anything and everything you can think of…

Amy: WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Pegs: Football? I forgot that you’re a fan. :-)
Laurie: Ooooh, no more drinking during the week? I once gave up alcohol for lent. It almost killed me! :-) Funny that you would mention the organization thing, because that’s actually one of my goals for this year.
Laurie: Hope the NYE was a good one for you.
Dragonslayer: Sounds like a peaceful plan for the night.
Donna: Missed you last night. :-( But, I’m glad that you joined us earlier in the evening. Always good to see you.
Momok: The beach???? I’m jealous.
Ches Kanno The Black Man: Hey Ches!!! I had so much fun hanging out with you guys. Next time, we should all go visit you. You’ve got better weather.
belledame222: Same to you, sweetie!! :-)

Spent it with the other EuroTrash at the European New Years party… Damn those NY girls… are they really such a lonely bunch after a glass of champagne (or 4)… I’m a married man!

Glad you had a good New Year’s Eve. Oh, and … It takes two to tango. So, as long as you stay from the NY girls, you should be safe.
January 1st, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Resolutions: Get shit together.
NYE plans: Spent the night with you and the crew, schmoopie!
