I'm having a beer.
:beer:

I need one. I've had a real annoying day. And an annoying week.

I spend the day doing my day-off stuff. The bank, the store, getting gas.

I've spent about $100 this week on gas because of my travels at work. So I went to the Stop and Shop b/c it's the cheapest place around. $3.17/gal and there was like 7,000 people there. :mad:

Then there was so much traffic heading up to my man's house. Then I had to take him to get his car and had to go all the way back through the traffic. :mad:

So I'm at the man's. We had an ok day. He cooked. We ate. We spent some time together. He went to bed.

His ex-wife moved back in. She lost her job so he told her she can stay at the condo (which I owe) for a bit. So it's just one big happy family here! :eyes:

So, I'm having a beer.

Who's joining me?

:toast: :beer: :hi:

26. Prince - 1999
I haven't heard any Journey yet. But then again, I'm not the best at knowing artists with songs... I do recognize Journey usually... but the song that's on now.. is Laura Branigan and I would have never known if I didn't look at the display.

Every time you go away.. you take a piece of me with you.. every time you go away... you take a piece of me with you...

can't go on, saying the same thing, baby can't you see .. we got everything going on..

btw: I also think Chicago had some great songs.. I get teased most for my love of Chicago, Bon Jovi and Meatloaf...

Will be home in an hour and a half, and then we are walking to some store or another and the liquor store (hopefully). This will be the first whole weekend we've had to ourselves in over a month now.
I hit my 4 month anniversary of not smoking a few days ago!! :woohoo:

Life is good!

53. You're not far away. Come out here for a drink, or I'll drive into town
for lunch. I know I said I'd do that while visiting my customer in your city, but they've been bought out by a larger company.

Nonetheless, when I have a few hours to spare (maybe in September), I'll drive to town and we'll do luch. Does Christopher Martin's work for you?

55. Great place for lunch. One of the few places where you can get a
plate lunch and be out in an hour. (A consideration when you're doing a business lunch.)

Of course, if there's a new place I don't know about, I'm always open to suggestions.

A patio where I can smoke would be a plus.

40. Well My Friend........
Unless you are drinking a Stella Artois, you are not drinking real beer. If it's not a Stella, it's probably the skunk piss that passes for beer in this continent. If that's the case, you have my deepest condolences.
