A real date tonight. Our third.
Me, my date Elvis, and Zoe.
First we went to my endocrine doc appt. Elvis watched baby Z while I went in. I got crappy news, and a bigger dose of insulin and some bad kidney stuff and bad cholesterol stuff. Me no likey. Elvis and I are going to work on it. We walk every night. Dr. B lowered the steroid dose, so my left leg is aching. I hate it when my body betrays me. I am determined to fix all of this. I didn't kick cancer's ass only to let the diabetes take me down.
Then we go see that movie Open Season. Ok. I think we are the loudest damn laughers in the theater. Even Zoe snorted. It's this anti-hunter movie. During one scene the animals are beating up on this hunter. This little kid said "Somebody needs to kick that man in the privates." I guess you had to be there.
Elvis snuck a kiss and Zoe totally busted me. It was funny. She likes him a lot. He is a very laid back person and is totally relaxed around us. He actually can hang with the debu_clan. Only the best of the best can hang with this group. My bro and sisters in laws are so great. They can hang. I think Elvis is a keeper. He's really cute too. I don't want to spill too much, but I'm pretty damn happy.
So then I had promised Zoe that she could pick where we went to dinner. She chose Chuys (and Dallas K - this one is pretty good - you all need to roadtrip to SA). I was pretty good as I'm still thinking about my bad labs.
Zoe drank this huge icee in the movies, so she totally had to pee. She's in the bathroom and made me come into the stall with her. The Police were playing and I swear I wish I had a video camera because she was sitting on the can and shaking her bootie. Ok. Another I guess you had to be there kind of thing.
Our dinner came and Elvis did this Elvis impersonation. Zoe laughed and said (like that kid in Jerry Maguire) "Did you know that Elvis died on the toilet."
Now that's a great date.
I can do this. I think I kindasorta have a boyfriend now. Y'all will dig him. Since, according to Zoe and Ctal's K, "afterall, Elvis is the King."
Your assignment for today is to watch a funny kid's movie. And really watch it. Some of them are sooo funny. I think we may go see Open Season again.
Posted by debutaunt at October 9, 2006 10:52 PMI'm laughing so hard right now! And it's way too damn early in the morning for me to be laughing! I'm so glad to hear you had a lovely time and that Zoe likes him and on and on...Brava, sweetie!
Posted by: Traci at October 10, 2006 08:21 AMWhoo hoo Deb - I am so happy that Elvis is in your life and that Zoe likes him too. I've said a prayer that the bad labs were just a fluke and you'll get better news soon.
I am gonna do the assignment tonight with my girls and think of you.
Hugs
Elvis better take darned good care of you or teh intarwebs will have something to say about it!
;-)

he must be pretty great. I am very happy for you.
Here's hoping he does not wear BLUE SUEDE SHOES.
Zoe is precious, with a great sense of humor.
Posted by: Toto at October 10, 2006 01:28 PMWoo hoo! Good news to cover the bad...I like it.
Chuy's...is that the chain? There's one in Houston...very good. They have one in Dallas too. With the prayers on the silverware wrappers? Damn it...now I'm craving enchiladas and margaritas.

Posted by: Lynne at October 11, 2006 02:43 PMEnjoy yourself, you deserve the very best.
I love kids movies, they are so funny. The hidden humor is great.
I am so glad to hear that you had fun and laughed and enjoyed yourself! Yeah!
Posted by: Michelle at October 12, 2006 09:23 PMJonathan has been wanting to go see Open Season, so I guess that is my next choice. We did rent Brother Bear 2 and I thought it was hilarious!! Ditto to Elvis taking care of you. We ARE, just a little bit PROTECTIVE of you. Glad to hear you had a great time and were able to truly laugh out loud.
