1832My evening

We are up to 9 boxes o' crap at work, the call went out for OT during
the week & on Saturday. I got nothing better to do, I may as well
pick up some extra bux. Good news: TUC is over! so the appeals will
taper off & eventually be GONE soon!

I went to Poly dinner last night, even though I didn't really
feel like it, and I had a pretty nice time.

No Kidding! was also there doing games night. Usually it's not so
awkward--NK is upstairs inside and Poly is downstairs outside, so I
don't have to be so obviously NOT participating in the No Kidding
gathering. But I did actually get to visit with the NK people too
--it's the Austin chapter's anniversary soon, so we are going to a
nice 4 course dinner on the 17th where a mere $20 covers everything!

It is BYOB, which is wierd. But should be fun. We are getting the
menu a week in advance, so I will be able to shop for wine to bring.
That'll be fun.

I looked at Central Market's schedule of classes last night--big
mistake. There is SO MUCH I'd like to do & try, but the $ thing is a
big factor right now.

Three biggies that I'd most like to do:

"Mastering Wine in an Evening" with Karen MacNeil
"Wine Pairing the Master's Way" with Tim Gaiser (he is
a Master Sommelier from San Francisco!)
and
"Spring Fling with Texas Wine & Cheese" with Paula Lambert & Susan
Auler. Ms. Lambert is a cheese artisan from Dallas, and Ms. Auler is
co-owner of Fall Creek Vineyard, one of the places I went tasting
with the group that included the drunk sorority biotches.

*sigh* (Plus, the class reservation is through the answering service
I used to work for & I can remember answering for CM's class
hotline...so it will be *WIERD* being on the other end of that
transaction.)

I may go ahead and try to pick *just one* each month or something.
But I imagine the ones I want are the ones EVERYONE is going to want,
so I'd probably need to reserve NOW. when I have very little
disposable $. feh.

Anyhoo...glad it's Thursday. Looking forward to having nothing to do
after work but Pilates & sleep. Maybe laundry, but that's a reach at
this point.
