Christmas Eve
Dec. 25th, 2007 10:41 amSent as a series of texts to half the people in my phone at around 5pm last night:
Mom and I are sitting at the bar of a local restaurant waiting for a table. I'm drinking a pint sized Maker's Mark and ginger that cost $5. Some guy at the bar said that watching xmas specials might be childish but they have a new meaning when you have a buzz on.
The bartender is cute in that Maine way. One TV has Santa Claus Is Coming to Town on and another has some Fox News special about One Nation Under God and we've already run into some cousin of Mom's. Gotta love Maine. Merry Christmas!
PS: Mom says the bartender is more than cute and if she were 50 years younger, WOW.
Meanwhile, the combination of Windows ME, IE6 that will display cached copies of pages unless you reload, and dialup that sometimes randomly disconnects (like when I was in the middle of my comment on my Yuletide gift fic and had to write it all over again) means that my mother's internets are slower than slow. If you want me, texting is the best way to reach me, since cell reception is also dicey.
