yuck!
We started cleaning off my grandmother's deck today. Grossness. She and my aunt don't sweep it often, so all the leaves piled up underneath everything and started small compost piles. I'm surprised the deck isn't rotted out. Not to mention all the bugs... O.O;;; Mom and I coated the deck in Raid.

We also managed to find a 32" TV that was able to fit in their current entertainment center. Which saved Dad from cutting the current one and saved my aunt from buying a new one down the road. Also, it was a compromise since we kept trying to talk my aunt down to keeping the 27" for price/space sake. She kept insisting on the bigger one because supposedly my grandmother can't see the smaller one. No one could see that old one... the screen was going on it and it was completely blurred. But, our TV is the same size and Nana could see it perfectly fine at our house.

Sometimes I wonder about those two. You hear one thing from my aunt and something completely different from my grandmother. It drives me nuts.

ladies night... sort of
So, last night, we all got together for a night out. It turns out that the friend Erin brought along was Rob, aka: Nina... if you catch my drift.

He didn't make a bad looking girl, either.

Anyway, we hit Jillian's with Rob. The club was a bit slow and we told him to go out and change. Well, after discovering he left certain important parts of Nina back home, we hit the road so he could go get the rest of his things and then go to a place where he felt more comfortable. We went to a bar around the corner. Nina is very popular in the gay community around here, apparently, because, everytime we turned around, he/she was talking to someone else he/she already knew. It was certainly one of the more interesting places I've ever been to... though getting checked out by the woman who could have almost passed as a man was REALLY weird...

Rob and Nina are both extremely nice. They're not all that different from each other, either. He does excellent make up on himself and the wig is really pretty. And... once you get used to the idea... it's not all that bad. We had a really good time.

Poor Erin got sick though. We left the club around around 4 am... Erin hadn't eaten in twelve hours, so all the dancing activity started to get to her because of the lack of food. She got really lightheaded, so we waited for her to grab an orange juice from the Dunkin' Donuts that was right there before I drove her van home. Between that and an orange, she was feeling back to normal by the time we hit my house (I was the first picked up and therefore the last dropped off), so I didn't feel bad about her driving herself home.

All in all, though, it was still a pretty good night.

tomorrow! tomorrow!
Well, I start work tomorrow. Wish me luck, all! I have to go finish my laundry that I should have done yesterday... O.O;;; Heh...
