Sunday...bloody Sunday

Where to begin?? Friday night was a night to remember for the rest of my life!! LOL! I wasn't allowed to drive myself...yes, you read that correctly...I wasn't allowed...there really are moments when Barry thinks he's my dad! But I always listen to Barry & rarely listened to my Dad...that's another BLOG in & of itself!:) Red came & picked me up...upon arriving out front, she informed me that we were in fact insane...the roads were awful! We were out though & feeling the freedom from the whining & the , "Mommy" all nite...so off we went...at about 15 mph. to the Swedes!

Of course there was no parking out back...they must have been renting out the lot to someone because there were hardly any people inside either...so we had to park across the street...treck through the ice & snow to get to the sidewalk which was of course a sheet of ice itself...(the weather people weren't lying when they said it was treacherous out there!) ...we ran across the street shrieking at the rapidly approaching snow plow...I think it was mostly getting dirty or wet we feared, not being crushed...ventured through the 3 feet of what had been on the road but had now been plowed to where we needed to walk, we shimmy up the icy front steps of my beloved Swedes & I open the door...relieved that we're here in one piece & not soaked or wounded! I step in to my home away from home with great relief & anticipate the perfect meal I'm about to endulge in...& I FALL FLAT ON MY ASS...with the door to the bar wide open!!!

No broken nails, no broken bones...today I feel like I've been lifting weights to get all buff for a week straight...but other than that...I did good! Only about 10 people saw...2 of whom were the rude asses trying to get Red & I to move that were coming in behind us...you know how I get when a person falls...!!!??? I was laughing so hard I REALLY thought this is going to be the time I piss myself laughing...I could have blamed that on using my ass to mop up the floor of the Swedes!!! It was HYSTERICAL...the only thing hurt was my pride...& lets be honest...I'm not one who's afraid to laugh at herself! So I sat there on the floor laughing until I couldn't breathe! That was the beginning of one of the best nights I've had in ages! It started with a bang! GOOD TIMES!!!!

Saturdays have changed at the Thompson house...Barry works until 4 now...so I got to listen to Kate for an extra 2 hours question why Daddy went to work today! She is one little girl who absolutely adores her Daddy! Brandon got his teddy bear stuck on the ceiling fan in our room & managed to entirely rip the sheets off of the bed..."just by watching cartoons all day" if he weren't so adorable I'd beat him for telling lies to me! He (like me) is a child who finds the magic in jumping on the bed...he'll learn...hopefull not how I did...that it's a dangerous sport...Bed Jumping!

Mooshie came over for dinner (she didn't eat the lovely pulled pork I slaved over...she ate some broiled chicken...GOD BLESS HER!) & a t.v. marathon & she left when the wind started howling & the snow was squalling! The weather got nasty again last nite...she's a girl who learned from the multiple times her amazingly incredible Daddy told us the weather was too bad for us to go out in! She got her buns home & in bed...we were exhausted!

Meanwhile, my partner in crime (Red) & I spent quite a good amount of time Friday night giggling over being so adventurous in our old age...& how it was good to be able to get out on a yucky weather night if we felt like it...her beautiful Mommy wouldn't let us go anywhere in weather remotely close to the storm we had Friday night!

It was a great testament to the multitude of years I've known my best friends...I know I can count on my girl Red to try anything once with me..to push the envelope with me...to be the Thelma to my Louise! & no one will ever ask her, "where you been?" when she's with me! & Moosh...she's the girl who thinks things through, the one who could always remind Red & I that MAYBE it wasn't such a brilliant idea to drive to New Brunswick when we were supposed to be in Woodbury...but I adore that I can talk her into most things...because I am a lifer with my friends & if we go down...it's best for us to all go down TOGETHER!!...or at least in each other's presence! ;) Cheers to my clumsiness...& my best girls!!!
