Art Fairs & Lusty Wind Gusts....

Hello Friends :)

Does anyone live near Ann Arbor, MI ::takes a little hand count::.... well if you do you are well aware of the Art Fair this week. With all the traffic back-ups and half the entire inner city being shut down it is the cause of more than a few migraines and extra prozac prescriptions ::grin::

I went down there on Thursday thinking I could go and see what I needed to see and get out - thereby reserving my Saturday for better pursuits such as... languishing on the beach and sun worshiping.... but no such luck. I went with a friend who was "starving" grrr.... so we went to Buffalo Wild Wings. We were promptly greeted by a very perky waitress and a 6 foot chicken doing the 'booty dance', interesting to say the least. After 2 frozen Mai-Tai's and some popcorn shrimp the chicken wasn't looking to bad... dude! he had some moves! ::laughing::

So, upon quitting this fine establishment we made our way down the street to the first vendor I wanted to see. Within minutes the sky turned dark and you could see lightening in the distance. ::sigh:: We started heading back for the car (some 4 blocks away) when all hell broke loose. Interestingly enough we were right back in front of Buffalo Wild Wings and ducked under the canopy to avoid the worst of the rain. But never fear..... Mother Nature (never one to be thwarted) was certain to get me one way or another. As we are standing, with about a dozen or so other people waiting out the rain, all of a sudden the wind picks up.... along with my skirt ::blush:: I yank it down in the front just to have Mr. Wind whip up the back... I turned to my friend completely mortified only to see him having quite the chuckle over my situation with one of the waiters. NICEEEEEE........

So as I see it I have three options... I can: a) Walk 3 blocks in the pouring rain and lightening to the car. b) stand in the wind with my skirt over my face! Or c) go back into Buffalo Wild Wings and drink myself into a good buzz to overcome my embarassment.... what would you do my friends?

3 more Mai-Tai's and a tequila rose shot later...... I was dancing with the chicken ::smirk::

::smooches babes::

    I've danced in the rain before.. as I recall I ended up with flat hair, runny mascara and looked like a nightmare candidate for a wet tshirt contest ::shudder::

    LMAO.. no seriously, it was great... especially jumping in the puddles- now that's romance for you!

    ::smooches::

    Running to find a baseball dugout.... not that it mattered.... hair plastered to our heads.... clothes soaked... laughing out loud.... the passion... the desire....

    Oh loard... well if that's an indication as to how this week is going to go I'm in some serious trouble.

    Alas.. I do believe I hear my boss bellowing.

    Catch you some time soon.

    Do I know you from somewhere? Hmmmm.... the banter seems almost familiar.....

    ...or.. perhaps just intriguing...

    Hmmmmm.... though your witty banter seems familiar to me I don't think we're aquainted..

    perhaps you're just a kindred spirit LOL

    Perhaps.... the musicians in Chelsea is something to get the locals out shopping later at night... make it an evening to remember. I don't remember which nights it is... maybe Thursdays...

    Kindred spirits are good.... of course... liquid spirits may be better. ;-)
