1fd5  Insane Ramblings » 2008 » June

After saying goodbye to my village this morning, I boarded a plane to Anchorage and tomorrow I fly to Sitka for my second session of training.  I can’t believe it’s been 7 weeks already!  The time flew by.

Probably because I’ve been working my ass off and pulling back up call 24/7 since I returned from Session 1.

Howard flew first class to NC this morning and because I was so jealous, I decided that today, I was going to spoil myself.

I went to see Sex and The City(which by the way was “fabulous”), bought a new handbag, got myself a Pedicure, and topped off the day with Chinese takeout from my favorite Chinese place.

Oh yeah, and I splurged on an Eclair for dessert.

Nothing like a little Hedonism to cheer a girl up and get her ready for 4 weeks of intense and grueling classes.

Now, if I get wonderful roommates again?  Nirvana.

Because she emails me inquiring if I want to go see Bryan Adams in concert with her in NC a few nights after my arrival.

I am SO there.

Bryan Adams.  One of many The rockstar I had a huge celebrity crush on in the 80’s and early 90’s.  I didn’t much care for his later stuff but early stuff? “Run To You”, “Heaven”, and who could forget “Summer of 69″ were life anthems.  When I hear those songs, it takes me back to a time when all I had to worry about was getting good grades and making sure I had enough hairspray to keep up with the trend that the 80’s served up.  Hopefully Julie and I will be swaying side by side, all chill from our beer buzz, no doubt, serenading each other (we used to do that in the car), and reliving our youth.

It’s already shaping up to be a FABULOUS vacation and I’m not even there yet.

Tonight on the radio show, I was recapping the music set Dusty and I played and when I attempted to say:

“Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish”…..

I nearly said “Hold my Hand by Hootie and Blowjobs”

I got right to the “Blowjaaah……” and caught myself, then Dusty and I nearly died laughing and even though I was hidden behind a microphone, my face was the color of blood.

Priceless.

A couple of weeks ago, our “honorary” nephew, Colton, came to spend the night with us.

He was a typical three year old and tested his boundaries with us but with only one firm “NO!” from one of us at each infraction and he got the picture.  He was, without a doubt, a near perfect angel.

Sunday morning, he and I slept in until almost 11:00am (because between him snuggling up to Howard and then me and then Howard and then me and so on…and so on…we barely got any sleep throughout the night but oh the snuggletime!) and needless to say, after sleeping over 12 hours, he had an accident in our bed.

It was no surprise to us and we tried not to make a big deal about it to him.  Howard washed the linens and I put Colton in a warm bathtub and cleaned him up.  Afterwards, while sitting in our recliner all wrapped up burrito style in his bath towel, I walked passed him on my way down to the basement to check on the laundry and I thought I heard him say:

“Don’t piss me off!”

I stopped, pivoted on one foot, and looked down at his cherub like face.

“What did you say, Colton David?”

After gazing up at me with those huge brown doe eyes and batting his long eyelashes at and almost smirking he said:

“I said, don’t pick me up!”

I smiled to myself and went on to check the laundry.
