Well wow, it's been one crazy couple of days. Worked the last few days of the week until midnight, so I had no amount of sleep built up, which would have been nice. Saturday started off nice and early with a pick up trip with the bro to get Zachary. Brought him back to my house for a few to run about and have fun. I'm sure you've all heard my "baby 'ish" story by now, but it was really cute. Apparently we're working on a vocabulary devoid of s's, t's, & f's. Remind me to never talk baby talk to my children, it obviously has an effect, since he looked at me like I was completely strange when I asked him to say ffffff.
After that, on to the day of wedding shenanigans! I got to follow the lovely Mo around on her and chris's big day and take lots of pictures. She looked so pretty!! I hope I get to look that pretty someday too. Getting ready took until 3, when the wedding took place very quickly at the chaplaincy Center, and then we whisked off to V.P. and the cottage for some pictury fun. Reception, lots of people, lots of drinking, then I headed back into town with others in tow, leaving the happy newly weds for some much needed privacy.
Then the drinking began. Over to Janelles' for some fun and social drinking (oh how I've missed thee) Then down to Jakes for some boogiein down. Waaayyy too early I got tired and decided it was time to head home with the boy. I know, I'm a party pooper, but it was a really long day. Next morning, I wake up with the alarm with big plans to kill the alarm, but instead get a call with an invite to go boating. I, of course, turn it down, as the whole "family thing" was planned and I was supposed to have brunch etc with the lot of them. Low and behold, all those plans got cancelled because Jay got sent home early, so after Nathan, Neil and I had super healthy McD's for hung-over breakfast, Nathan went off to play golf, and Neil and I joined Shannon on her boat with her fiancée Shane and a few buddies.
Now I've spent the majority of the day on a boat fishing and playing with dogs and getting a wonderfulsunburnedt face. Lots of fun, have to do it more often. Tried to stop off at my parents house to pic up stuff, and got rangled into staying for dinner with my parents and their friends. Yeah. Picture us rowdy. Now picture my parents and four oftheirr friends twice as rowdy, twice as crude, and just as inebriated. Remind me never to bring friends over for a stop by, and if you do get stuck in the situation, you have been warned in advance. Got home, got visitors, had a 20 minute nap, and now, here I am at work for midnight. Yeah. Rock on. I ask for Sundays off for family, but they put me on to work the second Sunday is over. I can't win.
Monday, August 8
