It was a sweet Mother's Day weekend. Brian and I went out on a "date" dinner Friday night. I love doing this with him. We like to go to this local Japanese restaurant where we brush up on our chop sticks skills.
Saturday we attended the annual Operating Engineer's Picnic at the fairgrounds. All the state and local politicians were there schmoozing before election season. My mother was eyeing the group for my next husband. No thank you. My redheaded background would create a media frenzy. Besides, I can't take that kind of sales man.
My brother is a union official with the operators union - thus why we were there in support. Plus, he was the bartender.
I awoke Sunday morning with a hug from Brian wishing me a Happy Mother's Day... and a cold. Seems I somehow managed to catch a head cold. I guess it was my Mother's Day gift. Laying in bed, wishing to sleep the day away, the phone rings and Brian brings it to me. To my surprise, it's McYummy wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. There I was, laying in bed with the sweet sound of his melodic cheerful voice over the phone. How kind of him to call. He is a great guy. Yes ladies, they do still exist.
After the call, I forced myself to get up and face the day. I invited my mother for dinner, so I needed to get my place in order. No rest for mommy.
In the end I grilled prawns, made a seafood ceaser salad and some small sushi pieces. We ate in my patio under the warmth of the California sun. We sipped Pino Grigio with ice and opened gifts and cards. Brian enjoyed being the only man among the girls. He kept it real by wiping his hands on his shorts. A guy can't have too much estrogen in the room - have to balance it with some 'guy' behavior.
I collapsed into bed after Grey's Anatomy. Brian and Boonie were snoring in Brian's room. It was a nice day - cold and all.
I am joining a gym this week - doctor or no doctors orders. I can't take it anymore and I have to go back to a regular work out. The meds seem to be working and I am feeling so much better. So here I go ignoring my doctor again...
Hey - it's Mother's Day week!
Until next time-
