Wait, you mean....a post????!?

So much has happened in the last several months, that I don't know where to begin. Frank's is still our Saturday fare, with the occasional weekday when requested by Leo. Mike just had a baby (Chanel) last week. Leo's got a possible love interest. Carl moved to Tomato Street. ADB is still A, but is more of a greeter and only works weekends. They just got new menus, and there are Frank's/The Onion gift card holders everywhere.

As for us: C's moved back to Colorado to pursue her snowboarding dreams, and though she's lonely at times, she's adjusting. J and I moved to a house much closer to my work/her school at the end of November. It's cute and actually rather convenient.


A Week Later...

Well, I didn't post last week because I didn't feel like I'd said much of anything. But today was brilliant, so I'm going to actually revive this dying blog!

Nicole, who is one of my greatest friends, came to visit us this weekend. She being the only person I know that ever dates, is staying with us while gallivanting about Spokane with a boy. Anyhow, she met us at Frank's and there the fun began.

After being seated (rather quickly, as Nicole got there first and got our names on the list rather early), J & I quickly forced her to tell us everything about her date the night before. As nothing illicit actually went down, she made up a fantastic story about getting it on in Zola's bathroom, thrice. The rest of our conversation included the Inlander horoscopes and "I Saw You"s, inappropriate jokes about chicken fried steak, Jesus: The Vibrator! and awkwarding waiters wherever we go. Then I looked lasciviously at the hash browns on the grill and J got a brilliant business idea. She essentially created Frank's: the strip club. In her head, we're the crazy aunts who have opened up a strip club, but instead of people throwing money at the strippers, they throw hash browns. And we'd have Friday Fry nights, where people would instead throw French Fries.

Obviously, Nicole and I laughed uproariously at this, at which point ADB (who will henceforth be known as Joe, since he's less of a dishboy now) mocked us for leaving him out of the joke for coming to Frank's "every day" and causing trouble. Honestly, I think he's just sad that we never let him join our reindeer games or dirty jokes. He's really more of an object to be ogled and interacted with when necessary, anyway. Well, ok. I'm not that shallow. We'd talk to him more if he were willing. I think we kind of scare him. He gets all snarky and evasive when we actually try to delve into his life. Not so much of a team player, that one. Though, we recently found out that he's from Texas. It's become a favourite pastime of ours to hypothesize why he moved to Spokane from Texas. We're thinking he followed a girl and it ended badly. I think he murdered his gran or kissed his cousin or something. One of those family things where it's easier to banish someone than to deal with the consequences. Or, you know, his family moved up here for something and he was an unwilling victim. He doesn't exactly have to support himself financially, from what we've gathered.

Uh, back to the point...

Frank's was fun today. We laughed a lot. We made inappropriate jokes a lot. We got to see most of the people we love. AND, we got to see a picture of Mike's baby! One of the waiters (who we may have previously judged to be much creepier than he is) offered, out of the blue, to show us a photo of her. How nice was that? Anyhow, I was impressed by him, and he raised a bit in my esteem today. Also, I think J's having a really difficult time reconciling the fact that he's the only one with a picture, and he's also one of the creepy ones. I think maybe he was having an extra-creepy day the one time it was just him and Leo and what'sherface.

And now Nicole's here, so I'm going to wrap up and sign off. Hopefully I will be better at updating again. Yay!

Peace out, happy diners.
