You read WHAT to your mother??!!!!!!!!!
Today was Dru's bridal shower. This was the first bridal shower I've looked forward to in a long time. Well except the fact that I had to drive B.F.E. to get there.NOTHING was going to deter me from this. I am so happy for her and M. is a great man.
Ok, to clue you in. I HATE driving by myself long distance to places I've never been. I like a co pilot to read the map, and today I had to drive more than an hour away from my normal surroundings.
Ok, this is ME driving. As Chickie will tell you, I don't adhear to speed limits and I make Mario Andretti look like an ameture.
Had I not been looking at the map, I'd had been there in 45 min.
I missed the fucking turn and added time to my travels.
I am SO sorry for the poor lass that had to listen to my diatribe about being stuck between two semis and no place to exit.
(PLEASE tell her I'm sorry again Dru!!!)
Ok, I make it and I'm trying to decompress because I hate being late and even more I hate being lost.
I have a sip of punch and dayuuuuuuum that's GOOD.
I have another glass and figure right quick, if I want to drive home, I'd better watch my consuption of that punch.
So I'm eating and drinking my way in to being calm when Dru's mum says:
Dru's been reading YOUR blog to me........
From there I'm ready to crawl underneath my chair.
I see Aussie and Athena ready to pee thier pants with laughter over this tid bit.
I shoot them the "GotDAMN it, if I didn't have to watch my P's & Q's I'd beat yo asses" look.
I take a deep breath and I realize this is Dru's mum.
I've partied with her before, she's produced a wonderful child.
I don't thing I could of shocked Dru's mum on my best day.
Breathe.
She had nothing but kind words to me and that means a lot.
This was the nicest time I've ever had at a bridal shower. Dru got some nice gifts, the food was good and the kids were darling. Dru is marrying in to a reallly nice family. I loved the little things they gave to give "good luck" to the bride and groom.
Ok, I'm really toast right about now because my man knows how I feel about driving long distance with no copilot.
He bought me copious amounts of Irish whiskey.
And now it is time for me to show me how grateful I am soon as Pudd'n goes to bed.
