Apparently it was another relatively busy weekend... another blogless weekend unless you count my quick and inaccurate attempt at the Friday Five on saturday.
The weekend started with a rush to grab the kids from school on friday afternoon... so i could get home in time to get ready for a bash at the Glencoe Club... Calgary's version of a country club i suppose would describe it. I haven't been there in years. We used to go alot when we were in our twenties when we were hangin out with friend's whose parents had memberships there. We could never afford it outselves unless we wanted to take out a second mortgage on the house...lol.
I used to enjoy that kinda thing back then ... don't really care much nowadays... too much water under the bridge now. That was back when i was young enough to believe my marriage was perfect... my hubby was my soulmate... we'd never get sick... one day we'd have our dream home... i'd be a perfect parent... life would be fun forever... and getting old was so far off it wasn't worth worrying about yet. Well guess what... my marriage is not even close to perfect... my hubby is not my soulmate... we both got sick... we don't live in our dream home... i am far from the perfect parent and life... well life is alright but the fun times are few and far between.
It's still kinda fun to get all dressed up... have a really great meal... it was a steak and lobster deal... yummmm... and generally get a little pampered. I bought a new long dress and shoes for it... that was probably more fun than the event itself. Pictures to follow sometime soon if i don't look totally geeky. Anyway, i've majorly digressed... the weather friday night was appalling... snow and ice... the roads were hideous... just great when you have strappy little shoes on in the "no shoe at all" style as my mother calls it.
It wasn't too bad going in as i got dropped off at the door... unfortunately hubs was in no condition to afford me the same courtesy on our way out. May as well have been walking barefoot thru the ice and snow. One nice thing about getting sick, quitting smoking and generally ending up a straight edger is not worrying about who's going to drive home. Never the less, hubs was freakin about how we should take a taxi... yada yada yada... i finally had to tell him to shut the f*ck up and let me drive for g*d's sake. My g*d i've been driving in this sh*t for 23yrs now... and i'm stone cold sober... and i'm not driving all the way back to get the car in the morning thank you very much... especially when i don't even drink anymore.
Well that was friday... lucky for you i don't have time for anymore which is just as well cause i forget what i did saturday... did i mention drugs fry ur brain yet? :P

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
