So Friday was soooo hectic, I had a million things to run around and do before hb and ca and hm came by. Thy arrived at 3pm SHARP. It was so good to see them but I am also painfully shy and therefore didn't really know what to do with myself at first. My kids were visibly shy and unsure because these were strangers hehe.
Then C brought out the barbies.
Imagine, if you will, ca playing hairdresser while hb had to say "hi! hi! hi!" a million times. hm wisely sat back and stayed out of the way.
I made them supper, spaghetti and sauce. It wasn't anything big, mainly because it was grocery day and that was one of the things on my REALLY BIG LIST OF THINGS TO DO (tm) that didn't get done. They seemed to enjoy it anyway.
They are beautiful people and I was so glad they could come, and wished I didn't have other obligations that night. I would have liked to have shown them my city, it is quite pretty indeed.
At one point I just sort of sat back and listened to ca hm and hb talking with each other. I am one of those people that likes to observe. I was also fighting off a massive headache.
The phone must have rang eleventy billion times, this too was aggravating me. Oh and then there was the coffee maker bit. I have been arguing with SO about cleaning the coffee maker for some time now, I insist he does it because it was his bright idea to make a full pot of coffee a half hour before he left for work while the kids and I were gone, he insists I should because, well, I'm the mom. So he promised to clean it before they came over, and of course, he did not. Bastage.
My father came and picked up my daughter for the night and then it was just me and K and my guests. They stayed until 6:30 and then they had to go. It was lovely to see them but also bothersome I couldn't spend more time. They left and I being the emotional train I am started to cry a little.
Then I dropped K off at my in-laws' home and I was off to meet friends at a friend's home to go out to see Puppetry of the Penis. It was hilariously funny, my jaw hurt from laughter and it is definitely worth watching. We went to see it for a stagette type thing to do for JD.
Then we went to Sammy's Garage for a few drinks. I was designated driver as was JK. This seemed to piss JD off because she wanted us all to be drinking but also I think she expected a limosine to cart us around and was disappointed when we didn't have one. Well lady it cost money for those tickets and we felt it was worth it. Some people just can't be happy.
So K-W is a non-smoking type city now, people had to smoke in this alleyway between Sammy's and Howl at the Moon. The two pubs are accessible to each other by this ramp they made attaching the two. on the ramp is a door that leads into a closed-off alley. This has become the smoking section, thus being sort of closed up but still going by regulations as it is "outside" the building. I was a bad girl and had a cigar or two. But hey, special occasion, right?
I got a free CD that night too, some guy just handed it to me. This cheesed off quite a few of the Sammy's patrons, because they felt it unfair they had to beg and do stupid things for em when I just got one handed to me. Suckers. It was an ok night but I tend to avoid bars, they are loud and stupid and the music is all the same after a while. Eventually some of us snuck off to Howl at the Moon for some food, we were starving. I got Chicken thangs, boy were they hot! Very very much so. I liked them but a few people foolish enough to scarf some from me were in for a surprise.
By 2:30 am I was more than ready to leave as were a few other people. ON the way home I listened to drunken mutterings about people not having fun and why can't they just lighten up already. I blacked out and don't remember half the trip home, I'm glad we made it safe. I just barely missed a family of raccoons crossing the road. I was thus declared a hero for stopping in the nick of time.
We get back to my house and I park S's car in the lot (I drove her car to K-W, ours is even less reliable than hers so it was a no go for my car). S and M and Ju left off in search of more fun whilst I crawled into bed.
I got to sleep in Saturday, it felt glorious.
Saturday day was ok, we went and supported the Ride for Sight barbecue, SO's brother is participating in it as well as his aunt. Then we went to get some ice cream from Scoopers, a place we have been going to since it opened back in the spring of 1997.
Watched Ocean's Eleven on Saturday night after the kids went to bed, my brother lent the movie to me. It was quite good, although the character played by Julia Roberts could have been better played by someone else.
I love caper movies so this was just a great ending to a pretty good day.Sunday I worked and so did SO. MJ, SO's brother watched the kids for us. It was very nice of him but he almost showed up too late and I ended up being a bit late for work because of it.
I have more to say on all the events but I am getting head-achey. I spent all morning in the sun helping my mother-in-law with her garden. Gold stars for me.
Wow this entry is the longest one I have done in some time. Go me!
