On Tuesday Lisa and I had our first meeting with our new committee, Bloom Boutique. I'm so excited about working with these ladies. They are so enthusiastic and adorable. They had great ideas and are quite willing to accept delegation...just my type.
The meeting was going swimmingly when Marc entered the room and said, "Who drives the red car? You'll need to move it." It appears that Marc and Lisa's neighbor, who will remain nameless...no, she won't. If someone does what she did, that someone deserves to be named. Her name is Bunky, which is unfortunate. Bunky is a precious name and belongs on a girl wearing Lilly and pearls, not a kill-joy shrew. Anyway, Bunky had called the cops on our Junior League meeting. She apparently was not pleased with the manner in which we had parked our cars along the street. Our cute new committee member was in the process of getting a ticket when Marc spotted the policeman and talked to him, saving the day.
Can you imagine? Here you are, at your first active JLL meeting, in your cute little pencil skirt, nervously proposing ideas for how to acquire and distribute prom dresses, when the cops pull up and give you a ticket! I can only hope the poor girl won't leave us for HollyDays!! I'll tell you, Bunky is only lucky we didn't have any wet pom-poms or nacho cheese. She would have had a full Jihad on her hands.
It's people like Bunky, and the bats-in-the-attic crazy parent I talked to today (I can't tell you; confidentiality's a bitch), who drive us insane. Today I had a dermatologist appointment downtown. I took the opportunity of release into civilization to get Stevens and Stevens take-out, and I stopped by the Mid-City Mall ValuMarket to get some NeoSporin with pain. (You all, I just can't say enough about the Mid-City Mall ValuMarket. On Tuesday, this wise and discerning woman carded me for Sangria malt liquor!) Anyway, while I was checking out, a lady was yelling at the Crocs stand. "Shut up! Get out of my way!! Stop talking to me!" People are going to drive us all to that. One day you'll see me at the ValuMarket. I'll be in the Beer Cave, screaming at the Dixie Beer, "Don't call me anymore! Don't you know you're crazy? Stop being so demanding!!" Lisa will be beside me, proclaiming to the hummus, "My dogs are not that loud! And I can park where I damn well please!!"
Okay, I obviously need a drink. 'Til later.

Bloom is my very favorite JL project of all time. I don't know that I've ever felt more gratified by any volunteer project of my life than when I watched those little girls pick out beautiful gowns. Anyone who disturbs Bloom in any way is going.straight.to.hell. Take that, Bunky-Bitch!!
As for the Mid-City Valu-Market, when I lived in Bonnycastle and was super-fit, I would run (literally) up there, get a bag full of necessities, and run back. I always found that looking and smelling disgusting made me fit right in... :)
Why must Bunky be such a hater...she has the most lovely garden. Her peonies this past spring were covetous. You would think there might be a modicum of goodwill between the Bunky garden club and the Bloom Boutique.
But big cheers for the Mid-city Valu-Market. It has the most eclectic customer base of any supermarket location in the city, I think! Love their egg selection, particularly.
