Anything But Gray

What a crazy weekend!!

We had a really good time at the movie premiere and party on Friday. Honestly, the movie was just so, so for me but I am happy we went, of course! It was quite a diverse crowd at the after party too, which was cool.  We left and then we drove all over Worcester, trying to find someplace open to buy alcohol so we could go back to their place and hang out and have a drink. We had hopped into to Dave and Wanda's truck to go to the premiere and so David was driving us around on this hunt, which I found very amusing. It was one of those "wow" moments…..I don't know that 20 years ago I would've believed that David would drive me all around, trying to find an open liquor store!! LOL Anywya, nothing was open!! Apparently all the liquor stores close by 11pm in Mass!! WTF?!?! Now that is something that I am not used to, at all!! Up in Alaska, I don't think there is any kind of requirement like that. You can buy alcohol whenever…..We wound up just going back to their place and David and Wanda sent Desi and her girlfriend (who had come to the movies and party too) down to Wanda's brother's house to try to find something. They wound up finding some beer and some other stuff and we sat around for a couple hours, just bullshitting. Very cool!!! I so love spending time with them….very fun night!!

Then yesterday was Gabby's birthday party and that was a really, really fun time!!! Billiejo, Juan and Auntie came and it was so good to see them, of course. My sister had a "grown up" after party and quite a few people came and we had such a good time! Shelly came up for the day (Yay!!!!)  and a guy my mom works with showed up with his brother. A friend of my sister's from college came and his girlfriend or wife…I forget….a couple of my sister's friends came. A couple from the neighborhood whose son, Gabby and Jaime and Ben always play with, came. My mom hung out and it was just such a really great time!!! It made me long for hot summer nights when we sit outside and just hang out and party and laugh our butts off! LOL

I got the project for my cousin done and she loves it!!! Whoo-hooo!! I am so happy about that and I am really pleased with how the project turned out! I can't post much about it right now, as it is a gift and a surprise, but I just had to post about it being done…..I'm HAPPY!!! It felt so nice to be creating again, so nice to be in my studio working….I so loved it!!

My Auntie wound up staying overnight and Billiejo went home with Juan and Angelina and Anthony (my cousin Carolyn's two youngest….so glad they came!!!) and so she is here and I know I want to visit with her some today. But otherwise, today is a lazy day…I actually don't have anything I "have" to get done today. But what I'm thinking I might do is make some birthday cards so I can be ahead of the game when I get back to it, in June! LOL I was doing that for awhile, making about 2 months worth of cards at a time…..and that is a really nice. I so hate the rushed.."oh-my-God-I-have-to-get-this-done-and-mailed-TODAY!" feeling so I really, really want to stay ahead….or I have some Girl Scout stuff I could get done…..

Or I could just enjoy a day of nothingness….LOL
We'll see!
