just call me robust-a-gut

Call me a traitor to my culture, but I'm NEVER eating Chinese food again.

I just suffered possibly the worst 24 hours of my life... second only to my bout of food poisoning in Thailand. That was expected... I ate raw oysters off a street stand in Bangkok. This was not - I ate at a restaurant that I've been to hundreds of times. Not only did I get food poisoning, I got it in the most painful way ever.

Nausea. Puking. Stomach cramps. Chills. Dizziness. I really thought I was going to die, and at many points, really was hoping that I would.

Now I'm sort of back to normal, minus 5 lbs. Best diet ever. I was never the same after Thailand. I'm fairly certain that I left my large intestine there.

Blech.

puppies!

I have a bunch of stuff to post, but I currently either have food poisoning or appendicitis and am too busy throwing up.

However, I did want to share pics of the puppies... We got another one on Friday! His name is Brindo, and he's only 8 weeks old. Look at that face! Not that my Bennie isn't still the cutest things ever, but, well...


The Benner


So cute!



One looks like Mom, one looks like me...


Bennie is so fat now I can barely hold her


Look at that face! Brindo!


My favorite picture...


Brindo thinks I'm his mommy





I already miss them. I can't wait to get one of my own!

POPday (1 week late)

Last Sat, ePop celebrated his three... oh! bday with a humungous dinner at the Thirsty Bear, and then a gathering at POP! - a party at a non-club, where we didn't/weren't allowed to dance, and had no pop music whatsoever.

But dinner was good :-)

There were about 18? 20? 40? peeps at Thirsty Bear. And we didn't have reservations! All I can say is thank gawd Thirsty Bear is no longer as popular as it used to be. Megan and I got there and basically started snagging tables to string together. We felt like tools for a bit while we waited for everyone to show - it was just 4 of us and 7 tables - but then it was all good.

As always, it was great to have our Robusteam reunion... with one conspicuous absense (*ahem, horse*). We inducted 2 new members - Fernando, a.k.a. Robustahousewife, and Karen, aka Robustafina. Actually, I think I'd like to change Fern's name to Robustanando. He doesn't always look like Carlos from DH or a dirty old man :-)


Isidro, Greg and Laura


Greg, Heather and two people who's name I can't remember

Megan, ePop and her tubey top


Um, can you tell me when you're actually going to take a picture?!


Me, Caro and Clydo


Dirty old man gets some right back at him!



"Yuck! This is an orange peel!"




Eric: "Everyone over 30 get in the picture!"
Clyde reacts.


Isidro and Laura looking sexy.


Isidro looking not quite so sexy.

There were also some random cleavage shots later in the night, but I'm not going to post those :-D

After lots of food and not enough sangria, we headed over to some weird club for POP. I knew that it was slightly suspicious when we saw the "No Patron Dancing" sign on the door. And the trance didn't sound even slightly pop-like. But there were $5 steins of beer. Which was good enough to get us going, and get me, Clydo and Fern out the door and to Wastelands, where we danced with gay boys kand scarfed on pizza.

yeah, yeah...

... I know. I have a million things that need to be posted. Sorry, its been a couple of weeks from hell. One that included a futile 3 hour trip to the DMV, a lost wallet, and the realization that I need to take the f***ing GREs.

Bleh.
