Grrrr, people that think in stereotypes really piss me off sometimes! I went out for a quick bite to eat with a friend yesterday – she’s blond and willowy and very feminine, whereas I’m short and dumpy and not what you’d call a girly-girl even on a good day.
We went to one of those trendy places where they deliver your drink order to your table. I ordered a sparkling mineral water, while she ordered a pint of lager and a tequila chaser. The waiter bought the drinks to our table and automatically put the pint and chaser down in front of me, and the water in front of her, even though it was he who had taken the order in the first place. He did this twice more throughout the course of the meal, despite collecting our empty glasses as he delivered the fresh drinks.
To add insult to injury he did the same when he bought out our food. I’d ordered a seared tuna steak and salad, whereas she’d ordered a double-stack chiliburger with fries and a side of onion rings. Guess who got handed the burger and fries?
Ditto with dessert – I ordered fresh fruit salad, she ordered brownies and cream. When he tried to put the brownies in front of me, I was almost peeved enough to ram them in his smug, unobservant, insensitive chops. What the hell is wrong with people? To blunder once and make mindless assumptions is acceptable, but c’mon, how many friggin' chances do you need to finally get it right?

I'm probably grouchy because I'm getting nervous about going out this evening. As I mentioned elsewhere , I'm a bit nervous about going out this evening. There will be lots of pressure to get rat-arsed (and alcohol is soooooooo high in calories!), added to the calorie-laden Indian food (which I ADORE!), plus I'm going out with three friends, all of whom are drop-dead gorgeous, and all of whom will be having to beat off slavering men with a stick the whole night long. If this smacks of jealousy, it is (a little bit) - it's galling to be so thoroughly outclassed!
Ah well, another good reason to keep on keeping on with this healthy living - as the pounds start to drop I'll hopefully start to feel more self-confident and less like some dowdy ugly duckling.
TAWANDA!! This is no time to feel down in the dumps! I'm just going to go out, quit whining and worrying, and enjoy myself...
