Hey all. So, I have found a few minutes to catch up on this "make work" project that I have created for myself...yes, this blog. So, today I am happy to report that "things" are about as good as they can get. I am still having a small difficulty when it comes to sleeping, but again, nothing to really complain about. I have a friend, who just so happens to be a nurse practitioner, and she recommended I take Valerian Root for my little insomnia bouts. She showed me the research which backs up all of the claims and benefits for aiding in temporary insomnia of course...because I am a nerd who needs these things. So, as I was out and about last night, I stopped in at the Nutrition place in the mall and picked some up. BUT, as I was there, the owner asked why I was taking Valerian, and when I told him that I was quitting smoking and using Champix, he proceeded to "school" me on all the benefits of Magnesium. Who knew magnesium was so important? Really? When he started talking about the symptoms someone can have if they are deficient in magnesium, well shit, I think it described society in general...it is quite astounding!
After he explained why I should be taking magnesium, he asked if I have ever tried to quit smoking in the past. Uh..duh...yes. I told him that I have, but I have never been "medicated" to quit smoking before now. He then proceeded to tell me that the main reason people go back to smoking after quitting, is usually because of a nervous "tension", and stress's in their life. I could relate to the feeling he was describing immediately, and then he hit me with this "Well, that "feeling" is usually exasperated by someone who is deficient in magnesium". Hmmm....WOW. So, of course, I left with my Valerian AND a top of the line magnesium tablet. Funny how natural paths have a way of "feeling" out how to get you to buy something more.
Okay, now for the funny part of my evening. Every Monday night my son takes music lessons in town, and almost always, we end up at his favorite restaurant "Wacky Wings" afterward for something to eat. Well, last night was no different. So there we are, and the meal is great as usual; the only thing different this time was that we decided to stay for dessert. So as we are waiting for dessert, we are all talking up a storm, playing on our phones, checking our social media sites etc. We notice that the table next to us has not one, but two birthday girls, and approx eight of their friends. No big deal right? I figured they were only going to sings the "Birthday song" once (and secretly hoped I was long gone by then) and that would be that. What makes this story special is this: The two birthday girls were complete opposites - one sort of quiet, and one was a bit more dramatic. It didn't take us long to find out that it was their 19th birthday because the more dramatic one made sure we knew it. Another thing about these girls; they were both wearing a sash and a tiara. The sash (similar to that you would see on a pageant) read "Birthday Girl", and the tiaras were pink rind stones. Funny as hell in my brain (who does that?). Anyways, the drinks started coming after both of them showed their I.D. and all seemed to be going great. That is, until the tiny little waitress carrying 80+oz of beer in an extra large "tap" gadget (it looked the size of three blenders) with one hand, accidentally dumped the 80ounces of beer directly on Dramatic Birthday Girl.
I promise you that I tried not to laugh. I felt terrible for both of the girls (waitress + drama queen), but it was like everything happened in slow motion. I could tell the exact moment that birthday girl went from being in shock with a wet crotch...to PISSED OFF....TEAR YOUR FUCKING EYES OUT MAD. The waitress was apologizing profusely, her friends were biting their tongues, my son was not sure how to react, my husband was instantly telling the girl that she was now drinking for free for the entire night, and me...well, my iced tea was coming out of my nose I was laughing so hard. That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long, long time. Anyways, the little waitress ran away to get the manager before getting the shit kicked out of her..and drama queen took full advantage of the attention she was instantly in the center of. We got the hell outta there...I couldn't control myself...and I still giggle every time I think of it.
That is my "funny" for the day....
Until tomorrow....
