learning things about myself today....

1) if at first you don't succeed (making a mojito, that is) try, try again.... my third incarnation - muah! yummy.....

2) friends and money.... never mix.... friends (who are leaving the country soon, as it were) want to borrow $500 dollars... they are notorious big spenders and constantly broke.... he claims he wants it for a suit (???) I know... I don't believe him either. we are going there in a few hours to play cards but in addition, to bring the loot.... I am not amused.... so what have I learned? I'm pretty cheap actually.... go figure..... but this has really upset me... I don't like the idea of giving them money.... hence point number 1.... that's really not a small sum...

3) i am also the type of person one yells at on the screen in movies - you know - hears a noise, goes investigates.... I thought someone was coming up the back stairs just now so I ran to the back door, listened a bit, and then in the manner of 'girl about to be stabbed' I opened the door to see what's what....
well, it was nothing.... but I needed to be sure! even at the price of my head....
to be fair, I did tense up and get 'ready to pounce' so I probably would've been ok had it been an axe murderer.....
a mojito to the eye for him....
