Take a bow, the night is over...

I love working a five day week
Sure there are weekends that I have to work my butt off
But my non-working weekends are always pleasurable
Even if I do nothing over the weekend
I never plan a Saturday
Sundays are usually movie and dinner days
But Saturdays are usually non planned, go with the flow kind of days

Yesterday I decided to do something totally selfless
I escorted my friends daughters (8 and 4) to a swimming birthday party
Their father is down with typhoid and the poor mother is playing nurse
20 screaming kids in a pool
20 screaming kids in the shower
19 sceaming kids in the play area
Oops one is missing
Found her
Phew
20 screaming kids for food

I scream
You scream
We all scream
For ice-cream

I love those kids
I really do
And I'm glad I took the kids
It was worth it for the smile on their faces

Last night my calendar was a bit overbooked
Singles dinner followed by a bachelorette party

Singles dinner last night was at Cafe Sidewok
It ended up being so much fun I showed up late at the bachelorette party

I dressed up, put on a face
And sang the night away




























































After I finshed singing, I went back to my friends

This guy on the other table

Who I later found out is a guitarist and singer with a local band

Came up to me and held out his hand

"Can I have this dance?" he said

I felt like I was 15 at my school prom

"I'm a bit rusty" I said

He held my hand and led me to the floor

Where we did a solo jive

I was a bit rusty to be honest

But I put on a decent show

I swivelled

I turned

I let him lead me and spin me round and round

I love dancing in high heel shoes...

The bachlorette party was a blast as well

I danced more

I danced some more

I danced even more

On the way home, I called Mr Italy

Had a wonderful conversation

Tucked my self into bed after taking my face off

And woke up to 'Banana Pancakes'

Take a bow, the night is over
