Froggy Bottom Lounge Closed — Move to Lounge II
Welcome to the Blue Night Special — I’m blue cuz it’s my last lounge hosting gig for a while.
Don’t forget: unrecommend the cafe and recommend the lounge.
Blue in green?
It’s the cafe. Anything ya want it to be?
Usually I put up a green cocktail sign. But it just seemed like a blue night.
Wanna provide the blues tunes?
Sure, why not.
Am I the only person who gets your Miles Davis reference?
Probably not, but you’re very nice to point it out.
I think she WANTED you to say yes.
Yes, you are special CG.
How was the meetup?
Oops. Oh, well. I fuck everything up. It’s my thing. I’m good at it.
Is this where I’m supposed to say something like
there, there, don’t worry about it? Because I’m not very good at that kind of thing. I mean, I don’t think you SHOULD worry about it, but if you do, you do.
The trick to being good at doing ‘there, there’ is to say it with complete insincerity. People either find this very droll or they find it very irritating — either way they perk up immediately.
complete insincerity? I can do that. I ‘m tremendously insincere.
Yes, I recognized that about you — it’s part of why I find you so charming.
Bless your heart, don’t worry about it.
so was that complete sincerity or complete insincerity?
Let me try …
“Bless your heart, don’t you worry your sweet little head about it.”
How was that?
It’s impossible to tell, isn’t it? Even I don’t know for sure.
It was fun…but now I’m tired! :::yawn:::
And someone else took one of my children home with them to MD until Monday. Now if I could just auction of the other one! 🙂
See the problem is that you’re thinking of it as a money making endeavor (or maybe just getting your money back endeavor). An auction won’t work. You’ve got to give him away. It’s the only way.
Glad you had a good time.
Maybe if I paid someone to take him? Why is this starting to remind me of The Ransom of Red Chief?
I don’t get that reference either.
The O. Henry story…I’ll just go away now, hanging my head in shame.
Because you’re well read?
there, there, don’t you worry your sweet little head about it.
Just some random person took your son home?
Wow, I was wondering if anyone was going to notice that…
jsmdlawyer’s older son and CBtY are buddies from Harpers Ferry and the march in DC last year, and they were having such a good time they wanted CB to spend the night. So I have to meet them halfway on Monday morning to get him back.
You’re more special than me, that’s for sure — I totally missed it.
Hey katiebird, it’s good to see you hanging around!
HI CabinGirl!!!! I was afraid I missed you!! How are you?
I know, we’re about to get a new cafe, but it’s great to see you! And I caught the Ransom of Red Chief reference. I loved that story.
if you’d like to come snuggle with him on his blue futon.
I love to snuggle on Futons.
I do! I do! Even my Sniffless couch looks good to me now. I just finished exposing myself at Eat4Today and I’m exhausted. I wonder if I’m crazy?
your exposure right now. Don’t go away and cover the lounge while I’m gone?
Sure, but I wasn’t kidding about the couch. It’s looking good!
I left a message for you and the newbies.
Can’t you do couch and lounge? laptop?
Cool — I’ll stop by and give you a hug there.
Wow…if I could look only half as good. You give me hope!
I’m doing the who “turning 40” thing and trying to get my life back under control. I envision loosing the excess 75 pounds, finally divorcing the asshole, moving and starting fresh, etc. If I can do a 1/4 of what I promised myself, it would be awesome. :>)
It was a slow process for me. In the past 20 years, I divorced the asshole, lost, gained and lost about the amount of weight you’re talking about (a couple of times) and turned both 40 and 50.
As I say in my message, losing it’s the easy part. It’s keeping it off that’s hard. I’ve never really done it. Are you interested in joining us at eat4today?
eat4today threw a marvelous oscar night party last year. Live blogging in front of our TV sets.
That was fun, wasn’t it? I was thinking about that night just this morning. I hope Eat4Today is still around next year so we can make it a tradition.
me too. I had a lot of fun.
I sincerely doubt it but even if you are, Sniff is very open-minded and will still be glad to snuggle. Of course, he does reserve the right to lick your nose whenever he feels like it.
As long as it’s not my leg. For some reason it makes me crazy when dogs lick my leg.
KB I was just over there and I think you look great. Sorry about the tripod. 🙂
Thanks, FM! That’s very kind.
No thanks necessary, just telling the truth KB.
Do you think Sniff will let me sleep there? Maybe we’ll just lie nose to snout or snout to feet or something. Of course, his feet probablyl don’t smell as bad as mine.
Oddly Sniff has never once slept with anyone on the futon once it was open — which is probably a good thing thing considering your allergies.
Darn it. I’ll bet he doesn’t snore or fart half as bad as Mr. Nature. I was looking forward to the snuggling without the inevitable payoff. 🙂
I was going to offer up Jim since you (theoretically) wouldn’t be allergic to him but he does snore (though if you whack him in the side, he usually stops).
You’ll think I’m joking but I’m dead serious. Both of my husbands have had beards and I’m allergic to their beards. And also saliva. Which is how I conceived four kids without kissing.
Okay, no Jim (I’m pretty sure I can get him to keep his saliva to himself but I don’t think he’ll shave off the beard) but I don’t trust Sniff not to lick you. So I guess we’ll just have to see if Indy will come over after all.
Even weirder story. Dog saliva doesn’t bother me. What makes me break out is nose juice. You know when they sniff you and leave a little wetness? Instant hives. But Claritin works great preemptively.
They might sniff your clothes or your shoes but they won’t do more than that, so I think we’re okay on that.
George is whining, see ya’ll a little later.
Howdy Y’all. Just stopping by to say hello. I’m heading out in a few to meet up with some friends locally.
How do you do, I don’t think we’ve met. I’m katiebird and I’ve been a slacker lately.
Well, since we’ve both been around the pond alot over the past year, I’d say we’ve met. :>)
I’m just testing the waters in the cafes and trying to be less shy.
shy doesn’t last long around here.
Just spend a some time with us and pretty soon you’ll be such a grand brazen hussy, you’ll make us all proud.
I can attest to being a nice shy person.
Then I came to the cafe. They corrupted me! Oh woe, oh sorrow, look what they did to me! 🙂
showed up. And now look at you.
Yea, ain’t it wonderful. 😛
What led you down the wrong path?
Well let me see. Not to name names, but everybody here. 🙂
I think you should call them out one by one.
No way. I get into enough trouble in here as it is.
LOL! I may be a fat white woman rapidly approaching the big 40, but I still got a lot of brazen hussy left in me! ;>)
Well in the cafe, we leave everything behind and just have fun. I’m glad to see ya here.
You’re not even 40 — jeez, you’re just a baby. We geezers aren’t impressed with anybody who isn’t getting tons of junk mail from AARP.
Junk mail from AARP! You mean it’s only for us geezers. I thought everybody got that.
Gee I feel special now. 🙂
Old people?! I thought Aarp! was for dogs. I just throw it all away without opening it because I don’t have any dogs.
I thought it was for people with seals. But I don’t get any mailings?
OF COURSE, you must be OLDER than me.
Sorry to dash your feel-good moment, maryb – but Mr. Nature gets them. I’m his younger trophy wife.
I thought everyone else would believe it though 😉
When I went to the west coast meet up at Leezy’s, I was shell shocked to find myself the youngest, except for Manny. It was so funny given that everyone thinks the internet domain is for young guys…here we were a bunch of older women. It was a hoot. I’m looking forward to my crone years, if I survive being the mom of a teen girl. :>)
Oh thank God! I thought I was the only brazen hussy here. It’s nice to have company. 🙂
you know perfectly well that all the women here work very hard to maintain a high standard of gutter behavior.
Kamakhya you’ll have to work hard to reach the brazen hussiness of SN, but I’ve got faith. 🙂
Dammit, where’s Supersoling when you need him (to prove your brazen hussiness). ;>)
I didn’t know that was his function at BT.
But it all makes sense now …
It’s true…SS brings out the brazen hussy in all of us. :>)
The again, the slacker king has his merits too!
Thank you very much. I’ll have you on the road to slackdom before you know it. 🙂
it’s hard to combine being a brazen hussy with premier slackerhood. With so many other brazen hussies around here the standard is pretty high and it’s hard work to keep your ranking. And to do it and make it look effortless … well, it deserves some kind of award.
I agree and if I wasn’t such a slacker, I make one up for ya. 🙂
Being both a brazen hussy and a slacker queen, I can attest to the fact that both work very well together. All I really need is a couple of cabana boys and my life would be complete. :>)
MM…cabana boys…now that’s the ticket.
you can’t give her the other cabin boy to be her Cabana boy! That would be wrong.
Um, maybe when he’s older?
I can train him real good, I promise!
Well, you’d have to get past the surliness every time you ask him to do something….or maybe he just does that to me?
Oh honey, you don’t know it, but I am the queen of slackerdom. My motto is “why do anything you can put off until tommorrow?”
Number 102 in the book of slackdom.
Mine is never do anything that you can keep putting off and putting off…. 🙂
LOL! Yep, that works too! Hell, here I am supposed to go to a party in 10 minutes, you know, fun stuff, and I am typing away because it will be work to go and get the laundry and find something to wear and get dressed and all that. It’s 6:20 P.M. and I am still in my “only ’round the house’ clothes”.
The biggest part of slacking is doing what ya want.
You enjoy your party.
Oh have no doubt…I am on my way out the door (once I get the laundry and find something to wear)…but, I can and will procrastinate with the best of them. :>)
A new member to the slackdomhood. 🙂
And with that I am out of here. I can dress with the speed of lightning, because all things match your basic black.
Thanks all for a really enjoyable time. I’m off with a smile in my haert and a big laugh in my belly.
Have a lovely evening.
You too.
Honey, I don’t mean to butt in, but — oh, never mind. This probably isn’t the place to start talking about Just Today and the power of Commitments.
(sorry)
No, I’m proof of that.
to throw around at anyone who misbehaves.
is making me feel that I don’t belong here. Certainly I’M not one. Mama always brought me up ta be a lady.
Ah, no comment. 🙂
You’re still testing the waters? I thought you’d been doing laps for weeks now.
But now I’m testing the waters daytime style! :>)
Really, though, I’ve come in and out of the cafe’s for a long time. It’s just that lately I’ve really enjoyed coming in and chatting more often than before. I think it’s cause there are so many fine people inhabiting this place and the feeling is much more open than before.
Thanks a million all for welcoming me with such open spirits.
I’m glad you’re doing more than fly byes these days. It’s fun to have you around.
Doh, I should have mentioned that I usually come here late at night west coast time, so we probably miss one another due to time zones and schedules.
I’ve really been a slacker. Mostly, I’m an early morning visitor — that’s when I’m most awake. Sometimes I peak in and say HI here, but it’s been a while since I’ve had enough energy to keep up a real conversation.
I’m trying tonight, but I’m not kidding — Andi’s couch looks GOOD.
Wow, katiebird, your picture looks great! What a hottie you are!
(snort)
I mean, Thanks!
Whether or not you can see it, as an outsider to your realm, I can attest that you are indeed a hottie.
Bless your heart, that’s very sweet of you to say.
(stop me — I can’t stop saying it now that I’ve started. And even I don’t know what I mean by it)
The fresh, clean new lounge is open whenever you’re ready.
Unrecommend this one on your way out.
