That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo
We interrupt the usual Prep-Talk...to bring you an important announcement about the
"Perils of Special Vocabulary".
What?!?! You thought we were just gonna get on with it?? Seriously?!?
Soooo… All those that know the Ever-Lovely Dragon Lady well, can attest that she is a Proper Lady and deplores swear words and cursing. Those who find it necessary to use profanity only reap her look of disdain and the stern admonition. “Tsk-Tsk… LANGUAGE!!!” She is, however known to have her own special vocabulary of Four Letter Words. Yes, dear hearts, Dragon Chic has Four-Letter-Words, and she’s not afraid to use them at the drop of a hat… or a Credit card if you will. The words?
[Please escort all children from
the area before reading on]
Ok we warned you…
SHOP – MALL – SALE
50% OFF
[Ok the last is more than 4 letters]
Yes, anyone following the Adventures of the
Ever-Lovely Dragon Lady and Chucky, know that sooner than later, shopping will
play a part in the preparation for the trip. And of course at the top of the
list is: Yeah, you guessed it:
SHOES.
There IS however, a bright spot this time around on the very
first trip to DSW [Designer Shoe Warehouse] her favorite purveyor of Sadistically Crafted Metatarsal
Torture. You will recall that in the past she usually has to make several trips to this vendor of discontinued, overstocked, and/or irregular footwear prior to one
of her sojourns only to be blanked and come home shoeless, so to
speak. Whereas Chucky, along just to “carry
the water” and “Pay the Lady” winds up scoring at least one pair of
replacements for something that may still be sitting in his closet barely used. Welllllll…
Huzzzaahh Dear Hearts!!!
The Losing Streak has been broken!
The Losing Streak has been broken!
First time out she actually scores a
delightful pair of stylish slip-on's for the cruise although not the pair for
"Formal Night” she was searching for while Chuck y
on the other hand, not wishing to steal her thunder, declines another new pair
of Ecco Sandals – [damn they felt good] since the last pair he scored here are
still sitting in the closet, yet to feel a pavement scuff… but will on this
trip.
And of course while in Aventura... she just had to stop by her
Favorite Ophthalmologist Dr "Z" [a Golf Buddy of Chucky’s] for a new Rx which
then required a trip all the way back north to Plantation to pick out New
Frames at Costco [the old ones just wont do!!!] deciding its time for
prescription Sunglasses as well. Then of
course there was this Darling Bathing suit on special… and oh look “Que Cute”
Capri’s… and Ooooohh those spiffy new Water Shoes… and…. And… AND… Did I mention...
“This
Chic Can SHOP?!?!”
Several $$$$ later [to be fair, NOBODY ever gets out of
Costco for less that "Several $$$$ later" - funny how that works...] and we finally
head home with Mesquite Wings for dinner and a case of Blue Moon to wash them
down. OK, just a few Blue Moon’s for the
wings, the rest are for the next time our Boys show up… and they always do now
that Blue Moon is on the Beverage Menu at Casa d' Chaos.
Rest assured, this wont be the last of the scavenger trips for this
Caribbean Adventure to be sure and if worthy of comment will be reported
somewhere below, or probably not depending on how bored Chucky gets.
That’s about it for now.
Chucky has come down with a terrible head cold and the screen is starting to blur, [2 Grand-kids + always contagious elementary
school + snotty little hands and lots of hugs = Sick PaPa] so C YA later dude’s and dudettes. [Humm along now...]
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna Take Ya...
