dinner roulette


This afternoon, tired of eating alone all the time, I attempted to find someone, anyone, who would deign to dine with me.

I was half tempted to sign up for some cooking classes below, but even I'm not that hungry.


Call to friend 1.= no pick up.
Call to friend 2. =interrupted a nap...."call me later this week, maybe, hon."
Call to friend 3. =straight to answering machine.

Call to ______ 4."I have a coupon for the casino buffet!"

Aaaaaaaaaaand
we have a winner.

(Yes, I'll be squiring my mother again to the land of fried shrimp, fried hair and fried nicotine)

ahem

That happens the same to me...only the opposite. I always have to decide and manage if I let my phone calls go to the answering machine, if I just make up a lame excuse or if I accept the invitation...

Everyday I curse the person who invented mobile phones...

Sweetie, just come out here for a visit. We eat all the time. Tonight we had pizza and beets. Delicious.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fall for a semi-naked cooking class on Freret. The very idea.

Fried hair, you kids and your crazy protein diets!

Peenee just wants you for dessert.

That’s so sweet that you consider your mother a friend and a close enough friend to call her up and ask her out to dinner.

I consider my mother to be just an acquaintance.

*Just kidding mother...I’ll be down for breakfast in a minute*

Why do people pick up the phone if they're napping? Can't they just let it ring? It makes the caller feel bad for waking them. :P

I'm envious of you for having 3 local friends that you can call up.

Who's fantastic artwork is that?

I love the illustration used for this post, Jason!

Where's it from?

Oh, and if we lived in the same town I'd totally have dinner with you!

Alas,

I went through a similar experience this past Saturday ceptin' I was trying to find someone to share a drink.

Oh and no living Mom to come to the rescue.

Anywho, it goes without saying that I'd eat with you at the drop of a hat Jason!
