last night was fun. i broke out of my usual group and went out, or rather stayed in ish, with a total stranger to me. hoppe set me up with his friend bret. we ate dinner at hoppe's house and watched a movie in his theatre he built in his basement. hoppe's girl made chicken alfredo and salad for dinner. it was amazing! for dessert she made chocolate cheesecake over cookie dough. it was also really yummy. bret is very well dressed. and he smells really good. he is tall. i had on 4 inch heels and still felt short. welcome to my life. everyone is over my head. oh well. back to bret. he has blue eyes, darker hair, nice straight teeth, and plays the piano. he has composed music.... really amazing music. i felt slightly out of place because bret, hoppe, hailey all know each other since forever. they talked about all these different places they vacationed to and all these really cool places to shop and designer shoes, clothes, and watches. i had no idea who any of them were or where they were even at. to sum it up, they make a lot of money and like to spend it on top of the line name brands. i never have had a whole lot of money, and realisticaly probably won't. in fact, i really hate money. i wish it didn't exist.
so, after dinner and dessert, we went downstairs to hoppe's theatre. hoppe likes to remodel and build things. he never knows what exactly he is going to build until he finishes it and steps back to see what he has created. hoppe's theatre is seriously like being in your own private theatre. no crowds, no sticky seats or floors, and no one blocking your view. very, very cool. we watched a movie, i can't think of the name of it. i didn't really care for it. parts of it were funny, but i doubt i will watch it again. oh, so bret smells ridiculously good. i put my head on his shoulder for the movie. i am not sure whether to be impressed or distressed about bret not making any kind of a move during the movie. i am a huge cuddle bug and like to watch movies cuddled up to someone. bret didn't try to put his arm around me or hold my hand or anything. i put my head on his shoulder part way through the movie and that is how we stayed until it was over. bret did help me fold the blanket after. we walked out to the cars, we just met at hoppe's, and bret said, "i will call dennis and we'll go bowling. drive safe." and that was my date last night.
today: ok i am seriously getting sick of snow. thankfully the roads were not too bad this morning. i was still sliding, but not out of control. i got to work at 1030 and jumped right into getting everything ready for my demo. the meat department asked if i would be kind enough to demo a shrimp dish for valentines. so yesterday my boss & i made up a recipe for sweet & sour shrimp. it is so simple, but tasted like it took all day to make. truly, i don't really cook much anymore, but this was so easy i made it, and sold it. ok really i just sold the ingredients to people. i didn't push anything on them, but the food spoke for itself and they bought. it was a lot of fun, and i didn't do a whole lot. i mostly just stood there and smiled and asked shoppers if they would like to try some sweet & sour shrimp. i only had one person, a child, who said they didn't like it. i also had some stupid mexican argue with me about whether this was a mexican dish or a more oriental dish, and if i was some mexican pushing oriental food. i flat out told him i am chinese and he said, no you're not. what an ignorant pig! he said my eyes are not almond enough to be oriental. i hate that i am so racist, but really i hate being called mexican, especially by the mexicans! i live in freakin america and i speak stupid white girl from idaho! my mother was from Taiwan and my grandparents are from china! why is that so hard to believe?! ugh i really hate being called mexican! so other than that, today was a lot of fun. i wish i could have more hours, or at least overtime, so i could do more demos. that sweet & sour shrimp was delicious! and now i am going to end because i am hungry...i can't eat while i am doing the demo...it looks bad or something. ha ha ha. and then i am going to lis' because she is having a valentine bon fire. for all of us without someone to spend tonight with. eh, oh well. being single isn't all that bad.
