So, my lovely wife has refused to take me dancing. "I HATE bars...it's all about breeding and sex." Lest I start to sound bitter (I am), I'll leave it at this:
I NEED to go out and dance. Need it. It's not a want. It's not a "oh shucks, I'm bored" thing. I need it. Need, need, need. So. I need someone or someones to go with me. I want to go to this lesbian bar downtown. It's a women-only place (or at least, men need escorts). I'm not into going to a bar with a bunch of boys trying to get laid and I'm not into the gay-boy scene. I just want to be surrounded by women, drink a couple of martinis and a couple of beers and just dance. Dance until I'm exhausted and tired and until my brain shuts down for a few fucking hours and gives me some GODDAMN HEAD SPACE.
Anyone interested?
Not to apply any pressure, but if no one is coming, I'm going alone. By myself. In to Southeast DC. On a Saturday night. Alone. To dance. Because it's what I need.
That's the down.
The up is that I took today off and declared it Momma Mental Health Day. I took myself to IHOP for breakfast and then I went shopping. Alone. Just me and a credit card. And low and behold, I found myself 8 new shirts, a couple of summer tanks and a new pair of jeans! It was a TOTALLY successful trip and made me feel like a million bucks (until I got in the car and heard some dance music...which reminded me that I'm trying to not hate my wife right now).
I digress.
I've never had a more successful shopping trip! I stepped outside of my comfort zone (think plain or striped button downs, or plain tee shirts) and got some stuff with color, designs and that is actually styled. I might have to think about what I wear rather than blindly grab a pair of pants and a shirt, but I'm proud of myself.
I'm actually excited about doing the fashion show for Kelly tonight!
I'm even more excited that now I have something to wear dancing. (insert bitter laugh)
That about sums it up for now. B Bear is lovely - she finally had a good night's sleep last night and woke up giggling in her crib. Nothing makes me quite as happy as hearing our daughter's tinkling little laugh. I'm going to make curry turkey and broccoli for dinner tonight. My kitchen's clean. Those are good things.
Enough for now. Happy Wednesday, everyone!

HEY - Yo' mama wants to go wit'cha!!! She was ALL OVER IT when I told her you needed a dancin' date. She would like to book your Sat. night on April 19th... "Ohmigod! I am so like all over that!!!" (<- Mama quote) I'll hang with Ms. K and BB and we can do some non-dancing things like watch a movie or read while you two go cut it up... (Your mom is beside herself with excitement - she keeps exclaiming from the kitchen!)
