Busy day ahead - lunch at a stripper bar with the grannies and adjusting to new contacts

Grandma Gin: We're meeting at Minx Chinese restaurant this month for lunch. I think it's Minx, up at Eubank and Candelaria.

Me: Minx? Hmm. I've never heard of that one, but of course I'll meet you guys there, Gran.

Grandma Gin: Just keep looking if you don't see it right away. If it's not that, just look for one that starts with an 'M' and is in that area, ok? You can find it. You're good at this stuff.

Me: Thanks, Gran. I'll find it. Same time as always?

Grandma Gin: Yep. We leave our place right at noon, so we should be there by 1215ish.

So, I do the online search for Minx Chinese restaurant in Albuquerque and find a Minx Gentleman's Club in Phoenix. Now, these ladies are adventurous, have seen just about all there is to see, so maybe they're taking it up a notch this month and combining a road trip with lunchtime entertainment? But if that was the case wouldn't we be going to a Chippendale's type establishment? And I'm pretty sure Gran would have invited to me ride with them on the bus.

Bottom line, the buffalo wings are probably awesome at both places.

Late last night, a voice mail from Grandma Gin: Hi honey, it's me. I did some investigating because Minx just didn't sound right to me. So the name of the restaurant isn't Minx, it's Ming's, as in Ming's Dynasty. M.i.n.g.s. I was given bad information the first time around. Sorry about that. See you tomorrow!

Also, right now, as I'm adjusting to contacts after a decade hiatus, I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy the entertainment anyway, which would be kind of a bummer since there would be a most amazing story in the 'lunching with grannies at a stripper bar, at least I think it was a stripper bar, things were still a little fuzzy' viewpoint.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
