Once again I sallied forth to the AmSouth-Harbert food court, this time for a TOP SECRET assignation with none other than Sugarmama (not her real name)! Due to a variety of circumstances, Miss Sugar has withdrawn from the blogging world and now lives a life of quiet obscurity, excepting for those occasions when I mention that I had lunch with her to make everyone jealous. Like, oh, today, for instance.
As usual, I wore my casual blue checkered button-up shirt and blue polyester pants that make me look like a 14 year old math club geek, parted my hairs just-so, made sure I had a suitable number of pens in my pocket, and headed out.
As usual, SM was looking quite fetching and professional, aside from the shoes with the needle-nose-plier toes. She says they're comfortable, but they sure did hurt my feet.
Not really. I...I mean, I didn't try them ON or anything...REALLY!
Lunch was from the magical Chan Lee, who provided us with tasty hot styrofoam plates full of kung pao beef and kung pao chicken. Supposedly. I mean, who knows what it really was. Coulda even been bologna. Anyway, it was all very good and mouth-scorching.
Luncheon topics included school, work, school work, dealing with insensitive geniuses, Hooters, crawl space insulation, natural gas, biking, Daylight Savings Time, computers, and The Blizzard of '93, amongst others.
It was all very convivial, and quite nice to catch up on how she's been doing since giving up the glamorous blogging life. And yes, I got a hug out of the deal. ::does taunting NFL endzone dance::
BUT, the thing I know you're ALL waiting on--the FORTUNES!
Here they are--first up is Sugarmama's, because she's a girl and all:
Someone has complimented you today in your absence.
She said this was true.
And mine--
Happiness always accompanies with you.
True, and in exactly the inverse proportion of proofreaders who follow Chinese fortune writers.
AND YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS!
6 11 19 37 40. 25
and
7 16 23 36 38. 19
So there you have it!

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at October 21, 2005 02:46 PMOh yeah? Well my fortune was: Your romantic fantasies are about to come true. Nyah.
Posted by: M@ at October 21, 2005 03:21 PMYes, well, who exactly was it that had lunch with Sugarmama today?! Put THAT in your fortune cookie and...and, uhh...and put THAT in your fortune cookie!
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at October 21, 2005 03:31 PMI am EXTREMELY jealous. Of both of you. Lunch with either of you would have made my week, but both of you at one table?? Eating CHINESE FOOD?????? Heaven on earth. And I missed it. Doesn't help, of course, that this news comes on the heels of the news that Nick -- who is traveling back east at present -- will not only be worshipping at our old church this Sunday, but will also be partaking of food and drink afterwards with half a dozen of our dear friends.
Me? Why, I am here at home mopping floors, playing chauffeur and caring for a dog inflicted with exploding abscessed anal glands.
::pouts::
(On the bright side, I did get to cheer at last night's football game, which we won. Doesn't hold a candle to lunch with y'all, though.)
Posted by: Grouchy Old Yorkie Lady at October 21, 2005 03:45 PMI'm just glad you didn't mention anal glands BEFORE I went to lunch.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at October 21, 2005 03:57 PMYes, I verify this story. All of it is true EXCEPT he FORGOT TO MENTION the part where I complimented him on being such a nice gentleman and wished that the younger, more available males could be as chivalrous as Terry.
