Jun. 28th, 2006 09:56 amLaLa is leaving. This makes Del and me very, very sad. Who else will direct the whistle choir, or lead us in our sing-a-longs? LaLa is definitely the humor of our group. We may call her crazy, but she's the funny kind of crazy. You can always count on her for a laugh, like the time we were singing "You Got It Bad" and that part of the song where Usher is talking about calling his ex and then hanging up? Yeah, LaLa picks up her office phone and slams it down, right on beat and everything. That is the shit I will miss. Or the time she claimed Solange Knowles Smith's little boy was an escapee from the Lollipop Guild, and even brought up photographic evidence to support her case. (It's no wonder she briefly toyed with the idea of law school.)
In better news, Ngoc passed the NCLEX and is officially a registered nurse. We're going out tonight to celebrate that as well as our usual birthday dinner since our birthdays are only three days apart. Unfortunately, we couldn't get together back in May because of my grandfather's passing and her finishing up nursing school. Anyway, this will be my second birthday dinner in as many weeks, and it is starting to add to my waistline. More so than the sitting on my ass in front of a computer screen all day. Last Friday, Del, LaLa and I went to Bossa's downtown and pigged out on some of the best Latin food I've had in years. I had the three cheese blue crab dip, followed by the Argentinean Flank Steak, and finished up with their little sample of chocolate mousse. That, plus a raspberry mojito and their version of the Long Island Iced Tea.
Now if I could only talk Ngoc into Chuy's. Or Macaroni Grill. Or P.F. Chang's. I figure if I'm going to widen my ass, I'm going to widen it with style and fucking awesome chow.
