Back from the dead... I am once again semi-functional after three days of inclement health. I began last weekend with a night out with my newly-single cousin, Christie, her brother, Brian, and his band-mate, you know him, Chris. (ie: Ten Cent Pistols guys). I am sorry to say that these two have made some silly decision to leave town (the band) and journey to Ireland where they believe their future lies on streets paved with gold. I had to tell them they were being stupid, especially since that have a whole night booked at the Zoo Bar in just two weeks. In speaking later with Loren, he is quite "sad at them" for ditching the band like this. They could've made it!! Silly boys. Anywho, we began Friday night at Coyote Willy's, pretty boring, then jaunted through the Havelock bar scene (Bob's Tavern, The Isles and Arnolds). It was typical, Vodka, reminiscing and quoting "Wierd Science". Again, I will have to say that the McDonald's drive through on the way home ranked right up there as one of the most fulfilling moments of the night.

Saturday, I once again accompanied Mike on his vessel-hunt. We made the trip to Valley for their open house (free hotdogs!). We left with many pamphets, no boat. Once back to town, we stopped at The Isles for some pizza, then a quick change and we were off to the hockey game. Those are always so much fun. Afterwards, P.O. Pears where we met Mike's hockey-friends. My friends, Tracey, Tammy and Kristal showed up and we all danced non-stop for many hours, it seemed. I attempted like mad to hook up Mike's single friends, Paul and Dean, with my cute friends. I'm still not sure if it worked. In a last-ditch effort, Mike and I finally left the kids alone and went to his place. Oooh, there was romance...

But life is not all hockey, dancing and romance, I awoke Sunday morning feeling like I had been beaten by a disgruntled husband and left to die on the train tracks (ever watch "The New Detectives"?). Realizing it was way more than the typical hangover, I laid on Michael's couch for most of the day and have since spent my time trying to keep as still as possible as to not remind my body that it can feel the pain. But I'm getting better, except for this painfully sore throat. Alas!
