I carried a watermelon


lost this half of a watermelon today. yep. sure the hell did. and then proceeded to have one shitty ass day of no-shows and cancellations and re-schedules. bleagh. It was only right that I soothe my soul with much needed conversation with M’Lynn over some gin and tonic and nachos. yes yes indeed.

so, it was good. and by good, I mean GOOOOOOOOOOOD. Seriously great conversation. Life is ridiculous right now. The whole precipice thing…..she see’s it too. for me. weird and right at the same time. so the words flowed and the drinks slowed and the tears came right directly after the laughter.

Perfect.

and the Speakeasy????? quite possibly my favorite place on earth. other than a stoop in Astoria, a porch in El Reno, a corner in Brooklyn, an apartment on 63rd, a balcony in Florida, a yard in Bismark, and the front steps of 1618 Andover Court.

  1. “so the words flowed and the drinks slowed and the tears came right directly after the laughter.” Who’s writing this song? It needs to happen now! (Though, you know me, you might be quoting a song and with my nonexistent knowledge of popular music I would not know. If so, please disregard above.)I think the day of weight in AFTER the weigh in is exactly the right time to have a little binge. Good timing!
