Stormy Night
Miss A is at school tonight....I am attempting to make butternut squash soup...This vacation is going by fast as they always do...too bad the work weeks did not fly by at this same pace.
Transferring some old video from those little 8mm video tapes over to digital this week...it was the one thing I really wanted to get done this week...I have stumbled across some things I forgot all about...me and Deanna (who has since passed away) on a road trip to Long Beach...a tour of my granny's apartment a few months before she died....lots of footage of Miss A as a little one - been pretty cool to see it all again. Got her having a hissy fit for being sent to her room yelling "YOU ARE TREATING ME LIKE A PILE OF ASHES! KEEPING ME COOPED UP IN HERE ALL DAY!!!" ha ha ha That is a good 5 yr old hissy.
I also had the displeasure of watching myself on video, drunk with a bunch of friends and I have to say it is really no wonder I am a single person. My level of volume and obnoxiousness is a surefire way to keep one single. At least I can say that everyone else there except for Maggie was drunk as well. Kelly wandered around with the camera for a while telling Miss A and Maggie they were beautiful, Kori and Michelle were hammered too and Connie was in fine form. Alcohol = terrible evil.
I am also rather mortified at my potty mouth....I have finally grown up I guess...I can finally see what everyone else always saw, that the potty mouth was a distraction from anything worthwhile I had to say....I have been working on that over the last few yrs but this will spur me I think to really make a more concentrated effort in social situations.

In other news...at least I was a good mom most of the time. hahah hahah hahahaha hahahahahahahaaa
