So I’ve had a few cocktails. Does that qualify me for rehab? Besides, I’ve already been there.

Just got back from dinner at PF Chang’s with the family. Had myself a little cocktail while I was there. Just a wee little White Russian. Must have been good vodka, because I didn’t even notice it until about 10 minutes after the drink was gone. I thought it was rather weak, actually. Not so, grasshopper!! And let you tell me something, kids, after I had that cocktail, I decided to buy everyone’s dinner in honor of father’s day. Jeez’m rice, there goes a $100+ bucks. Good thing I came home with a grocery bag sized bag of leftovers. Does that make sense? grocery bag sized bag… Good thing I came home with a bag of groceries the size of leftovers… noooo… Good thing I came home with a whole heapin’ mess of leftovers! There we go.

I needed that cocktail. So did other people at dinner. We both needed cocktails and we were the better off for it.

Mongobeef

Jack, as promised… a picture of mongolian beef. Unfortunately, I had eaten a great deal of it by the time I remembered. I blame the booze. But the plate in the upper right hand corner is it. See how I had pushed the green stuff aside to get to the meat? The rest of you… never you mind why I am taking pictures of beef for Jack. That’s between me and Jack.

work

Why didn’t you come out and play with me? I waited for you and you never came out!

So here I am, working from home. I don’t do this a lot, because I am too easily distracted. I mean, a few feet away is my bedroom, and in there is my comfy squooshy bed. Sometimes, I just like to run and jump on it. But sometimes, I don’t get back up right away. The temptation is strong. That is one of many reasons why I work at work, and ummm….. home at home.

I was going to post a picture of me working from home with my iSight, but I did not look good. I looked tired and pasty. I wonder why? Oh yeah, I know why, because I only slept three hours. Was I playing the sims? Nooooo. Was I cleaning my house? Noooooo. I was just doing that thing I do, where I start out to do something like, say, clean the bathroom, and I end up trying on all my summer clothes to see how the fit, instead. Not that I did that last night, but that is a good example of what it is I do, when I do that thing.

Then, all of the sudden, it was midnight, and I decided to go to Walgreens. I had a prescription to pick up. Plus, that is just the best time to go to Walgreens and look around. There were so many things I could have purchased. They had little American flags, and inspired by a debate I had with Thomas, yesterday, I thought I might create an object d’art and call it “America – My Country: You Do Know That None of The Other Countries Are Inviting You to Their Birthday Parties, Don’t You?” But I couldn’t find any astroturf, which was essential to my design. But they had Milk Duds. [purchased] and Peach Snapple Ice Tea [purchased]. So… good enough.

Short story long, I was up for a while, didn’t sleep until after two, but woke up at 5. Hence…. lack of sleep. I wasn’t able to pry myself out of bed right away. And now, I am punchy. Literally. I want to punch someone, but with love.

Hello and welcome to 50 Word Fiction Friday. For those who don’t know, here is how we play the game. Write a story that is 50 words, no more, no less, and leave it in a comment. And that’s it.

Where is the fairy tale?



“You were supposed to bring me breakfast, sweep the hearth, hang the clothes out to dry, iron my ball gown…”

“Mmmm… I’m sorry… what?”

“You are just sitting here. Reading!! You make a lousy Cinderella.”

“Can we just skip to the part where someone brings me a glass slipper?”
