Welcome to another episode of my boring life.

Well! This was an interesting week-end. Friday afternoon I actually managed to get out of work at the appointed time of 4:30. Went and picked kids up, then came home and made muffins. Of course, the kids fought over who was going to help pour in ingredients, who was going to stir, who was going to crack the egg, who was going to pour into the cups, who was going to eat the first muffin... oi. In any case, the muffins were all gone by noon Saturday...

Saturday the kids and I went and got them new boots before the snow hits. We also got a few groceries. Then came home and made some crafts. While making crafts I threw together some scalloped potatoes for the potluck my volleyball team was having that evening. I dropped the kids off at 4pm and then went over to JM's. (She's the team captain.) Lots of food. It was a bit awkward at first because I hadn't seen most of these people in... well... I can't remember. And some of them were new faces and it was cold shoulder city in some ways. Meh. Ate good food, accepted good hospitality, and participated in a hilarious blind gift exchange which ended up with most of us fighting over who got to keep the porn movie (who the hell brought that? I know but will not tell. And no it wasn't me.) The gift I contributed was: fudge & recipe, 1/2 doz partylite candles (var. smells), a little tin of bath things, hawaiian ginger body mist, a home made diary with quotes from books pasted in all over the place, and something else but I forget now. haha.

Then I dashed outside to see the lunar eclipse... how wonderful. How lovely.

Then I dashed home and the minute I walked in the door I realized... I'd forgotten to buy rye for SO. So back out the door I went and got it in the nick of time. Returned home, picked up SO, and we went on to BE & ME's new home for their housewarming party. It was a good time, with more food, good drink, happy people and an interesting game of charades. Then around midnight things went terribly, terribly wrong. The one girl SS and her ex DS were there and they were together because they've been "trying to work it out once more". Which was fine but DS is... I don't have anything nice to say about him, so I'll keep mum.

Anyway. At one point I was in ME's bedroom downloading music to listen to, then ME & LS & KV & SS were there and we were all talking. Our friend JG came in and then we talked some more while waiting for a CD to burn to bring down to listen to. The CD done, we all traipsed downstairs, JG coming down last and pretending to zip up his fly. Nothing to it, quite harmless and garnered a few laughs. Well! DS flipped out! Started a huge fight with SS in the front hall. This wouldn't be an issue but this is ALWAYS what happens... and sometimes their fights have been known to get physical (that part is hearsay, I have never been present for said rows). So hello! Totally uncomfortable. Everyone decided the only cure was to drink more. DS finally leaves off in a huff and we manage to convince SS to stay with us.

Fine. Situation diffused.

Then a mother of a migraine hits me. WHAM! I'm out for the count on the couch, in agony. LS's husband CS was nice enough to keep a cold cloth on my head, which was a little piece of heaven in the place called migraine hell. Hooray for random acts of kindness!

SO of course was drunk out of his tree and practically sitting in ME's kitchen sink... I was happy he was having a good time, especially among so many new faces, but I was also wishing he'd shut the hell up, pack us up and get us home. He came and checked on me, I told him I needed to go home so I could die in peace, he said ok he'd finish his drink.

...

Three hours later I finally managed to muster the strength to stand up, walk over to him and say "if you want us to remain married, we have to go home. NOW."

We got home alright. 15 minutes later I was lying in bed wishing I had died. then he decides he wants to fool around, which was kind of funny actually...

bla bla bla I'm tired of typing. More later...
