PARTY IN CORONA

Shirl had dinner with some family friends, so I waited for her to get home.  All I did today was walk to the library to return a Phillip K. Dick anthology and return Thor at the Albertson's Redbox.

She finally returned quite late, about 10PM.  She said she was still down to go to Corona so I picked her up and off we went.

We got to Citrus Grill while the party was in full swing.  The music was going and as usual, there was no cover. I warned her that Kimi and her crew might not be there, because when we started looking around, we didn't see any signs of her.

The first person I recognized was Pat and she was looking great.  She was showing off her plentiful cleavage and was sitting next to Erin and Amber.  Erin has a new cut and color now, what Shirl described as rockabilly. Amber I'd never met.  There was also a teacher that Kimi invited and I never got her name.

All of these women were birds of a feather, the one thing that seemed to define them was either divorce, or the possibility of a divorce.  That creates a certain kind of energy, but the good news was that the entire night was filled with women who were either married or somehow attached to people who were married.

It was still a fun night however, filled with dancing a lot of drinking, especially from Kimi.  The odd thing is that I didn't see Kim drink a single drink the whole night.  Apparently, it all happened during the day.  I blamed Pat for letting her get to that state, but it was more jest than anything.  Pat said it started at 2PM and I always wonder who people can drink for that long of a period.

We ended up back at Kimi's to chill out a little.  Then Shirl gave Amber and Erin some style tips with their haircuts.  It was pretty rough, but at least they got a stylist's advice for free that other stylists may not want to give.  She was blunt but honest and I think that's what these women needed.
