She’s BOSSY
Posted By Kristabella on April 23, 2008
Just so you know, I lied. Today’s post is a cop-out post. Yesterday’s was nothing.
Yesterday’s was because of The Lazy and The Tired and The Writer’s Block. Today’s is only because it is 11:30 on a SCHOOL NIGHT and I need to get my ass to bed. Because have I mentioned? I’m going to VEGAS this weekend and need to rest this sorry ass up.
So tonight was the Chicago stop on Bossy’s Excellent Road Trip. Have you heard about it? Because she’s on like day 30 (THAT IS A WHOLE MONTH). And of course she’s saving the best for last and hitting the Midwest on her way back to her home on the East Coast.
I dragged The Hotfessional with me. I know her real name, and yet all I want to call her is The Hotfessional. Or just Hotfessional. That’s how we roll.
So I picked her up at her hotel downtown and we headed out to the suburbs Thelma and Louise style. Hotfessional even had a hat! And it was all fun and sunshine until we met traffic in Chicago. And then we crawled our way along the expressway. And by crawled, I mean sat a lot.
We went to her house. It is a phenomenal house and she was a most excellent host on this Excellent Road Trip stop.
We stopped at the wine shop right by her house and they were SO nice. The man offered to let us taste, for free, ANYTHING that we wanted. And my answer was a long pause. Because let’s be honest, drinking FREE wine trumps hanging out with people you’ve never met EVERY TIME. He even told us we could stay there all night and drink for free because we were cute. (Awww….) And ugly girls were limited to one taste a piece. Sorry ugly suburban girls!
It was a lovely evening. There was cheese. And wine. And guacamole. So I was like a pig in slop. I was happy. Actually, after the amount of crumbs I dropped on myself, that is quite a fitting description. That and the pinkish hue I tend to take when I meet strangers! I could feel my face going from pink to purple. And that is never good. Unless you’re a TeleTubby.
But anyway, Bossy is a phenomenal person. And she’s so down to Earth and just as awesome as she seems through the computer box. And I just wanted to huge her to pieces. Which I did. And took a photo of.
Which I would SHOW you but fucking WordPress 2.5 SUCKS. And why can’t I upload photos? WHAT. THE. FUCK? This is why I don’t upgrade to things. Because there was nothing wrong with the older version! Older doesn’t mean worse! Just ask retirees!
But I swear I took a photo with her and it was awesome.
And now it is time to drag my cranky ass to bed thankyouverymuch.

YOU. In a wine shop with FREE tasting????? Why did you ever leave???
Not able to post pics. That SUCKS! I thought about switching to WordPress but don’t know much about it. I’ve gotten used to blogger.
Anywhoo…glad you had fun.

Mahnee, we thought about staying. Really. It was so hard to tear ourselves away. But then we decided that we’d just, y’know, skip the bar next time and go hang with this guy, because there was eleventy-kabillion bottles of wine we could sample.
Thanks again Kristabella! I had a great time (like always!) And you never got to the purple stage. honest.

I had some trouble uploading a photo yesterday, and I gave it some time, and then it worked. You might want to try again, maybe they were doing some kind of behind the scenes fixing or something.

You mean, while I’ve been scrambling like made to grade papers that I should’ve handed back a week ago, you and Bossy and Hotfessional were together having a good ol’ time? Well, life just isn’t fair. Not fair at all.

I had a great time and it was great meeting you. I wish we knew each other earlier. My husband and I frequented the many free wine tastings in LaGrange area. But alas, now, no more tastings for me. But hey, could be worse. At least I have a good reason. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope to hear from you again. 🙂

I totally didn’t notice the shade of pink on your face – I think I was too busy thinking of my own shades of pink. =)
It was great to meet you!
