Got off work early. Again. Five people got laid off yesterday. I'm still being crosstrained to work in two departments other than my own, so I'm not (too) worried about my job at the moment. But I got off early & couldn't find anyone to go out & get a drink with me. So, instead I took the boys to get ice cream after I picked them up from Grandma's. Well, we went to Ruby Tuesday's, but it was for ice cream. Tinsley wasn't working but she was there. As was Zane -- oma, that boy has not right to be so adorable! Not for a couple more years! He had stopped by b/c his sister was working the bar and he ended up sitting w/ me and the boys (we weren't sitting at the same table as the rest of the work-here-but-not-on-the-clock crew b/c they were right behind the kitchen & the boys & I like the big table in the corner) and the brat ate like half my strawberry tallcake! And he tried to invite himself out with us on Thursday night -- I told him he can't go b/c he's not legal! but he was like "you guys took me out before". Um, yeah, b/c I didn't realize before that you're only a baby! He thinks its funny that I get so freaked out about this.

Also, there's apparently some new staff since the last time I went -- I can't even begin to imagine what they were thinking, especially with the looks they kept giving us all. And the poor customers -- I think everyone forgets that there are actually sometimes real customers in the smoking section. John was working the front dining room & kept coming by and stealing bites of the boys' ice cream and stuff. He is such a goober. My boys love him to death.

But yeah, so that was my night. *g* I've been writing all frickin weekend so I may share some of it over the next couple days. We shall see. Right now, I need to go make my votes for the OWL Awards...

5 people? Eep!

All other thoughts had a pile-up when I saw the words ice cream. Ice cream!

Not just ice cream. A Strawberry Tallcake from Ruby Tuesdays. This tasty treat must come straight from heaven. It starts with three layers of light and airy sponge cake and strawberry mousse. Then it’s drenched in strawberry sauce, topped with rich vanilla Blue Bell Ice Cream® and finished with a cloud of whipped cream. (yes, I did pull up their website & quote that directly...)

I have never been to Ruby Tuesdays. :( It looks like I have been missing out though. *giggle* And here I just thought you really knew your stuff. Really, I was thinking "How can she remember that?"

you must go -- it's fantastic. And I love the Strawberry Tallcakes -- even though I've yet to get one all to myself. But they're huge, so I probably couldn't finish one by myself anyways

I'll have to remember this next time I go out to eat. I love strawberries so this sounds very appealing.

I love it. *g* (haha -- doesn't exactly fit in my diet though, it's probably a good thing I had help eating it!)

The boys had a chocolate tallcake -- it's got oreos & caramel & all that stuff on it. but i don't like oreos.

You should have one next time you go.

*i see new icons -- were you playing w/ [livejournal.com profile] jamie2109 again?*

I love the ice cream butterfinger thing they have... *melts* I will have one!!!!

And yes. I was playing earlier, but she must've stepped away. It's her move next.

*can't wait to use this one*

Innocent? you?

you weren't scolded, silly girl. Go ahead & share the icons. Like I said yesterday, you are responsible for helping me get sexy icons when I get my paid acct.

oh, and 5 people is a lot, when you consider that in this dept there were only 22 of us to begin with...

Just the thought of five people was bad enough. Five in one day is a lot to lay off. It's even worse knowing that there were only 22 of you. ._.

I love the expression on a child's face when you (pretend to) steal some of their food (especially ice cream).. ^_^

(My night consisted of a talk on the phone and reading ;))

And even though you're not too worried about your job - I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

yeah, i'm keeping my fingers crossed on the job front as well. Thank you!

and yeah, my kids love john, but he really was taking their ice cream. And he kept sneaking up on them -- he was on a smoke break when we got there & on the way back in he stood at the window for several minutes waiting for the boys to turn around and see him. of course, they laugh-screamed & hid under the table when they did. The only problem with taking the boys to Ruby Tuesdays is that now they'll go tell my mom & my brothers & everyone about "that man that's mommy's friend"

was it a good talk on the phone? and/or good reading?

"Dragon Dreams"

Hiya Tabby :-D


I'm finally done with "Dragon Dreams" (and the two kissing scenes) :-D
8,600+ words...I only need to write a mini-epilogue, perhaps 200-300 words.

Problem is, I think I need a sequel. What was I thinking: that they would stop arguing once they start kissing? *headdesk*

There are just too many emotional loose ends. Draco's insecure. Harry's insecure. Harry's jealous like mad. Draco's socially dysfunctional and has to re-learn how to connect with people. Ermmm....

Anyway, it's f-locked to you here. Thanks again for your help!

*plot*
