Dane and I are going to the Noc Noc tonight to see LR's performance, I guess it's going to be recycled next week. Anyway - it's my first time out all pretty after surgery and honestly in a while. It feels like since living in WA going to clubs and bars and just out in general has become the rare and not the norm. Not that there's anything wrong with that, that's just what growing up is, but I do miss it at times.
So today I feel pretty. I got my first round of highlights gearing up to become blond again (though this time gradually not drastically) in time for the wedding. I still have a lot of swelling and have no idea what I can wear that wont hurt me or show my garments or whatever but I will put my eyes on and get all dressy. I haven't felt pretty in a long time. Actually it's been years. I can't wait to get dressed and go out. And I guess we are in for a show tonight, LR says there is a special headliner so the show will be packed. We need to get there early!
Went to Applebee's with Mom and RBMBA today. It was nice to see RBMBA but mom and I weren't on our best behavior. I felt bad but RB seemed to understand and take it in stride. We are going to see a movie this weekend and I'm really looking forward to that. I haven't spent time with her in a while.
And for the record - Applebee's puts bacon and eggs on their "house salad". I've worked at over 3 restaurants and eaten at a few more than that and to me "house salad" has always meant 3 wilted pieces of lettuce, a wrinkled cucumber, an over-ripe tomato, and 2 croutons. Every once in a while you find a restaurant that springs and puts two slivers of cheese on the "house salad" so just in case I said "no cheese" please. When I got my "house salad" I was shocked to see bacon and eggs - to me, that makes it a traditional cobb salad! So I felt bad for returning it to the kitchen but in my defense there was no description of the "house salad" on the menu and most "house salads" don't come with all the fixins. Dane's right - whenever I got to a restaurant I just need to say "I'm a vegan, is this "house salad" free of all animal products?" or what have you.
Anyway - I'm off to get pretty, oh so pretty. :-)

You ARE pretty darling, and not just because you are rocking the body baby....you are a total doll :)
I've learned to assume NOTHING when eating out, I've had at least two experiences where strange fleshy things have come out on my salad or in my veggies...that were not listed on the menu. I think you just have to say, no dairy....no animal products. Period.
My friend Betty asks the waiters... "whatcha got that didn't have a soul? thanks."
fortunately the waiter she asked was also vegan and they hit it off quite well!!
Whaaa? I would have sent it back too. :-)
