I Lit A Fire

Dinner with Mom and Carmin was a really good time yesterday. Got pretty tipsey since it took such a long time for our food to come--- if we hadn't been talking and drinking, we would have been pissed, but as it stood, while we made comments as to what was taking so long, we weren't preoccupied by it. Had a grilled chicken Caesar salad (dressing on the side) and two vodka and diets. The Falcon's Nest had Maryland crab yesterday which proved to be very delicious. So that was it for me. Have lost three pounds since last week, been eating all vegetables and fruit since Sunday (either soup, or raw vegetables with hummus, and apples.), no bread (although there were croutons in the salad yesterday), no starches other than if there have been potatoes in the soups. Leaving work at 4 today to get a jump start (have to get some provisions for the trip at Target, fold my laundry from the dryer, pack, and wash my hair.). After dinner with my Mom and Carmin, Nick came down and we went to The Wind-up. Very quiet, dead, early evening there, but it was awesome, like our own private bar, and hanging out with Holly is always fun. Had some nice Tom Waits discussions, found out that one of Holly's friends who was there used to work with Dainty at Port Discovery (which is so weird, because out of the blue, Dainty called Carmin yesterday and they went for coffee.), Nick and I telling eachother lost cigarette in the car stories (there was a new installment in Tales of the Ridiculous yesterday involving a loose piece of lit tobacco that fell into my paper-laden purse, whilst driving.), discussing David Lynch and Sunny. It was fun. We left at 1, which was alright. Listened to The Gaslight Anthem driving home. They are playing somewhere in Philly (headlining!) in March. Totally down for that. Would like to see The Pogues for St. Patrick's Day, but that's probably not financially possible, unfortunately. Anyways, will be glad to get out of here and get on the road.
