 Mo’s the blondie, Jules is making a signature kooky face, Joel (Mo’s boy) is the blondie and Ian is the other guy.  Sorry guys I couldn’t get your pictures to come out the same size as the girls’.  I’m a wee bit inept at this.

So the other night I met up with my friends Mo and Julie (and Mo’s new boy Joel) and we went to Karaoke Night at Ernie’s Pub.   I luckily had a very sore throat so got out of having to sing anything.  Good thing too ’cause nobody wants to be singing next to the likes of Jules.  She has an amazing voice and people just listen in silence every time she get’s up there.  Mo surprisingly got out of singing too but only because we know if we actually made her go up she’d get up there and say all kinds of crap about us to the world just to get back at us.  She never has a problem speaking her mind. 

I either didn’t know or had totally forgotten that there were going to be a bunch of people from The Bird there so it was nice seeing everyone again.  A couple of the kitchen guys were friggen hilarious on the mic.  One of them reminded me of Jack Black.  I got some video of them later but the first song they did was the funniest and I completely zoned on getting a clip of it.  It was good times.  My ex ended up showing up and I hadn’t seen him in about a year and a half so that was definately a shocker.  I had no idea until that moment that I was holding so much anger and bitterness towards him for what he did when he left us (Jalin and I).  But seeing him again was the best thing that could have happened.  His current girlfriend is friends with Mo and she and I ended up having a great visit.  She is such a sweetie and through us talking and me seeing Mike again after so long I realized that I just wanted to let go of that anger and resentment and get on with being friends.  We ended up talking for a little bit, not rehashing anything, just putting it all behind us.  I told him that now that so much time had elapsed and he was happy and Jalin and I were happy it was about time we were able to at least say hi to each other and smile.  He agreed and he asked about Jalin and how he was doing. 

The rest of the night went great!  I felt like this huge weight of emotional crap I had been under for so long was just gone.  It was a wonderful feeling.  I ended up staying out wayyyyy too late.  I have no clue what I was thinking.  Or rather, what the wine was thinking :-)   I think I got home at about 2:30 am.  Craziness for me.  And on top of that it was a weeknight.  Luckily the boys are on Springbreak right now but I still rolled out of bed at 7:00 am.  Holy was I tired yesterday.  My mom and I had a full day of wedding running around to do and 3 bouncing little boys.  It was definately an interesting combination.  Mom just thought that I wasn’t feeling good cuz of my cold and stomach problems.  If only she knew.  We had a good day.  Got a ton accomplished and spent good bonding time together.  We even got her outfit for the wedding.  She looks absolutely stunning in it.  I told her that she looked so beautiful that she was going to upstage me.  And that is just fine with me.

Today mom worked on bouquets and such.  I’ve gotta hand it to her, she is being very good about doing this all even though it’s not her pick in flowers.  She really wanted me to have white Calla Lily’s and I told her very nicely that there was absolutely no way.  After the first little bit of talking about this she just dropped it and has been happily and very wonderfully been doing everything in my flowers and colors.  Yay mom!  You rock!  How could I have asked for a better mother.  And no I’m not saying this because she is going to be reading it.  She won’t be. 

I will have to figure out how to upload videos cuz I just tried and it didn’t work.  If anyone has any suggestions just let me know cuz I have some gooders.
