Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Getting Wistful

By Abby at 7:16 pm on Thursday, August 11, 2005

I just INHALED my Bar-B-Q Spaghetti. Man, it was good. I feel HUGE! It’s much better for my weight that I get out of here. I’ve gained about 10 pounds since I arrived, and I fear that trend would continue. While I was waiting for her to run my credit card on my takeout order, I was looking at the Flyer. "ATTENTION ELVI," it said. Apperantly, if you dress like Elvis, you get free food at several local eateries. Very strange stuff. See, this is my first August here, so it’s my first Elvis Week. I didn’t know stuff like this happened. Eric came in right about then, and we chatted about how Elvis  fans are dying off, and the people who make their living on all things Elvis are going to really hurt financially. How it’s this industry in Memphis. I guess that’s true. What a strange industry indeed. So Eric was talking about how they’ll do anything to create younger Elvis fans. We also talked a little about Hustle and Flow, which I still haven’t seen. I know, I’m lame. On the way out, these two women in a car said, "Excuse me! What’s your tattoo?"The woman on the driver’s side said, "Is it a butterfly?" I told her that it wasn’t; it’s a sun. The woman on the passenger side by the curb said, "TOLD YOU!" I chatted with them a little while longer, then drove home, and that’s when all that inhaling stuff started.

I just know I’m going to miss Memphis moments like this terribly.

I’m so happy you’re going to have some good memories of the place of your birth.

Makes sense. 🙂 Never noticed the Sun tat.

I am debating tat #2 myself. I have kitty paws on my hip– didn’t want one that I couldn’t easily cover. I’d like one on my other hip for balance.

The Bar-B-Q Shop is the best! Like Heaven on Earth, you know what I mean?

Oh yes, I do! I just reviewed it on Citysearch. I also have a whole set of pictures on Flickr.

[…] Aaron is the best boyfriend EVAR! We had a birthday party for me, and he actually made pulled pork from scratch! Why? Because he needed it to make my bar-b-q spaghetti. Yes, if we can’t go to the Bar-B-Q Shop in real life, Aaron was going to make sure I got some for my birthday dinner. When he first arrived home the other day with a big hunk of meat, I asked, "Why did you get me a big hunk of meat for my birthday?!" See, I’m not a big meat eater. He fessed up that he was making my favorite Memphis dish, and I was so touched. Really. SOOO sweet. He also made baked cheese grits.  […]
