TWO WHOLE POSTS ARE MISSING

I am pissed off!  I wrote two whole posts between last weekend and this weekend and they aren't here!!  How the hell does that even happen?  Grrrr....

What I wrote about was everything that was happening last week.  I got called into the hospital for a prescreening on Monday morning at a super early hour.  The anesthesiologist was really funny. I spent an enjoyable half hour with him.  He was totally crazy and made jokes that he apologized for later!  So funny.

On Friday morning Monte and I packed up, picked up a band friend of Monte's and headed to Vancouver for a very rushed but hootin' good time weekend.

On Friday night Aryn, April and Myles and I went to a native restaurant Aryn discovered.  Its called the Salmon and Bannock.  The food was outstanding, the decor incredible and we had an amazing time.

But the next night was the real fun.  We met up with a couple who are friends with Aryn and we went to a Japanese BBQ.  Jeez, did we ever have fun.  We all got pretty tipsy, ate a ton, played street fighter on the wall and laughed til we were crazy.  On the way over, in a taxi, we were headed through downtown and BAM!  flat tire.  So he called another taxi....and after a half hour one finally arrived.  We sat in that taxi for half an hour!!!  But we were all on our phones so it wasn't that bad!  Thank god for phones.  Now instead of staring out the window or smoking or...god forbid...talking, we all stare at our phones.  Anyway we finally got there and had an absolute blast.

Sunday Monte and I had a great trip home.  But we were tired so we pulled into McD's in the Wack and parked and went to sleep for an hour.  It was a really beautiful trip home.

Now its Monday and I spent the day readying the house for the film crew that is coming tomorrow.  I stopped into the fat lady store to get a plain shirt to wear..I guess stripes and busy patterns are out for filming....and filled prescriptions in preparation for Friday and took care of some business.  Selling the condo in Maui is proving to be a nightmare of paperwork.

A crazy thing happened in the fat lady store.  It was pretty quiet in there...only about two customers.  One of them was a short squat very wide lady about my age.  When I entered the store I could hear her kind of arguing loudly with one of the sales people.  I ignored it all and went to the other side of the store and started hunting.  She continued to pretty forcefully insist on whatever it was she was demanding...from the sounds of it she wanted a lower price on a blouse she was trying to buy.  She swore up and down that one just like it had been in the fifty per cent off corner last week.

Anyway she stopped yelling finally and she stomped way over into that corner that they reserve for dump sales.  There is a lot of stuff in that corner but its all loser crap.  I never go in there.

Well, I worked my way around the store, ending up close to that corner and lo and behold!  she was pulling stuff off hangers by the hand full and throwing the stuff on the floor!!!  Tons of stuff, all spread all over the floor!  And the whole time she was muttering and swearing and kicking the stuff and throwing it.

I backed away, careful to have no eye contact, and whipped over to the sales peeps and told them what was happening way over in the loser corner.  Shit!!!!  They flew over there and started yelling at her and grabbed her to make her stop and she just got even more wound up and frantic.  One of the sales people came back over to where I was and called the cops.  They actually came pretty quickly and they didn't waste anytime...they nailed her to the wall and cuffed her and hauled her out of there into a car outside.  I think they knew her.  So exciting, these trips to the only store I go into on a regular basis!

Now its time for bed.  I will do a short post tomorrow night and let you know how the filming went.  Should be interesting and thank god for editing!!!  TTYL
