Well right now I am supposed to be grocery shopping but one of our afternoon downpours came so I find myself back in front of my computer. A few weeks ago Jim found a wi-fi connection that was great and I could use my laptop downstairs but alas! We've been discovered and blocked so I'm back to using the desktop upstairs. One day we will get our connection improved so in the mean time I'm still going to G&D if I need to make phone calls.

Last Friday was the 80's party at Finnegans. I invited Sim and Scott over to our house for dinner before we left and so we could all get dressed up in our costumes. Sim was indecisive as ever on what she should wear so I had to help her out. I gave her a corset and told her to wear her bra over it like Madonna. She was hesitant at first but she went for it and then decided to cover it all up with one of Jim's shirts tied in a knot. I went all out! Oversized shirt layered over a tank top, big white belt, headband, neon pink earrings, leggings, fishnet socks with ballerina shoes. I look ridiculous! But it was all in spirit for what was to come. Jim did the layered polo shirts with the collars stuck up complete with jeans rolled up at the bottom, suspenders, and a bandana wrapped around his wrist and sunglasses, very Corey Haim I must say. So off we go! We get there and the place is completely packed! We could barely walk through the crowd as we were looking for Melissa, one thing we did notice was that no one else was dressed up besides us and the staff! That just made me look more ridiculous. People were staring at us, especially Sim with her purple wig on, looking like we just stepped off of a spaceship. We made the best of it anyway.

Finnegans was having an air guitar competition and I sorta coaxed Jim and Sim into entering. They did pretty good, Jim pulled a muscle in his thigh, Sim stayed in rythmn and we all laughed. Jim came in 3rd place and received 300 ringitts worth of male spa services which he'll never use. The pub was so hot that we were all sweating through our costumes and going outside was no better. The winner of the air guitar contest was a guy who stripped completely naked in the pub! I was getting drinks for everyone and suddenly everyone started cheering and clapping so I turned around and all I saw was someone's ass on the dance floor! I ran over and lo and behold there was a naked guy. I missed it all! I'm really pissed because I videotaped Jim and Sim but after they were done is when I went to the bar. I think Jim would have won had the other guy not stripped down to his birthday suit but you can't argue with NAKED! I won first place for best dressed 80's person which means that I also got spa treatments that I will probably use since Sim has introduced me to 2 hour massages. She took me last weekend and it was great! The 2 hours went by so fast I didn't want it to end. Kinda weird though, the masseuse asked if I wanted my belly rubbed so I said yes, next thing I know she's rubbing my breasts and I'm thinking "That's not my belly!" but when in Malaysia...

So tonight we're all headed off to a restaurant called Rumours. Melissa like a mentioned is a PR manager for the Finnegans Group and Rumours is part of that. She is treating us all to dinner and drinks so she can take photos to put on the restaurant website. Imagine, me and Jim representing a place we've never been to! What if we hate the food? Are we supposed to smile and act like we're having a good time. I'm not worried because Scott and Sim are joining us along with Mel and Kenny and all of them are funny and we always have a good time. I'll let you know the website so everyone can see when it's published.

This weekend we are having "Girls Day Out". Me, Sim, and Mel ( I think from now on whenever I say "we" I'll be referring to the three mentioned because it's too long to type ) are going for breakfast on Saturday, then fish pedicures, then eyebrow threading and then up to City Golf. Sim and Mel have never been there and I think it would be a good place for them to meet guys. Yes, I'm playing match maker, there's no reason why Jim and I should be the only fun couple in the bunch and Scott's wife works in Saudi Arabia so she can't very well join us. If it happens, great then I can take credit for it, if not then at least we can have another good time!!
