I Should Be Asleep

I should be asleep BUT I'm having some pain I don't particularly care for.  So, I've come downstairs to try to sleep on the recliner, hoping to be more comfortable.

Yesterday was full of adventure.  I drove back into Mo County to pick up prescriptions, went by the Capital Women's Care in Rockville to chat and say goodbyes and then I got stuck in some serious traffic right before the bridge coming back into DC.  Now, let me tell you while sitting waiting for traffic to move.  (If I never mentioned it, I am now.  Patience is my least favorable quality!) I noticed it was only my lane not moving!!  I put my signal on to change lanes and oh my goodness...not an accident BUT an idiot who needed to change lanes.  No one would let him over to do so.  What does he do??  Stops dead in the center of his lane, keeps his signal on and continues to wait and hold up the other cars just so he can  get over.  I didn't do so well with that needless to say!!

Moving forward....Dinner was at Peking Gourmet in Virginia.  It was  Tita and Uncle Al's plan.  A bunch of us met there at 7:00 pm.  With the exception of one little Izzy, and her red headed Momma who ummmmmm arrived a little late!!!  Others at the round table: My cousin Richard, Barbi, Marlo (he was my supervisor at Capital Women's Care), my brother in law's parents and of course my sister, Dave and the kids.  Great bunch, don't ya think??  You've never had duck until you've been to this place!  Holy cow, it was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  There was even a little old Chinese man (chef??) who came to the table with the ducks and carved them, effortlessly.  I promise you, by the time Red (Heather) arrived.  No duck for her (sorry Red!!!!).  We finished three of them!! Guess what???  There was still more  food coming.  DELICIOUS...and no tummy "incidents".  YEA!!!  Mom, you have to come here!!!!!  You will love it. 

After full tummies, mango ice cream and fortune cookies we hugged and kissed and said goodbyes.  Barbi, Marlo and I then headed off for...yup you guessed it our "regular" bar.  The Stained Glass Pub.  It was karaoke night!!  I couldn't even pay Marlo to sing, but Barbi and I sure did.  In between the shots we were drinking of course!!  Only four.  That's taking it easy for us!!

Barb and I got back onto base around 1:30 am.  The ride was pleasant. Windows down, discussing issues, life and love.  The usual.  :)  She's asleep in my room now...and I'm now going to try to fall asleep before the sun rises.

Thank you to everyone that joined me tonight.  I am blessed and loved and could not be more grateful.

Please don't take your loved ones for granted or the precious moments God gives you.  Life is a celebration.  Laugh plenty.  Love just as much and live in the moment!!

I love y'all very much.
