Had Fun Last Night. Too Much Fun.

"And you know what happens when you have too much fun." Ugh. In my case a slight hangover. I didn't get home 'til 2am. Couldn't wake up today 'til 10:45am. Struggled into work right after noon. Ouch. It hurts! But damn, I had fun last night!

I had planned to meet Mr. Wonderful Stefano at the concert, along w/my cousins. But I parked on the street behind Josephine's and when I mentioned it, he talked me into eating dinner there. Who am I to refuse such a treat? So we met there and had wine, their huge antipasto platter, and bruschetta. Nice and light! Then onto the concert armed w/my blanket, coco rum, and oversized frosted Rice Krispie treat.

It was packed but we spotted my cousins and headed toward them; unfortunately and awkwardly their mom--my most evil aunt--was also with them. But I just didn't let it bother me and I was polite and even introduced Stefano to her. I did it for the sake of my relationship with my cousins which is good again and I don't want to jeopardize that. I didn't talk to her although later I did help her shout out a song request that we all wanted to hear so we all had a good laugh over that. Whatever.

I finished off the small bottle of coco rum by the time the concert was over and then we bid everyone adieu. I talked Stefano into coming back next week for another concert; the cousins also confirmed they'd be there too. I am rearranging my work schedule at Job #2 in order to do these concerts b/c they are so fun and I love getting out there to the park. I am also trying to create new memories and experiences there since I was most often there w/my ex-stepdaughter. So it's also therapeutic to hang out there.

I drove Stefano to his car, kissed him goodbye, and headed to my next stop. Dancing, drinking, and getting funked up w/Philipo and my music loving friend, BK. But frankly my head hurts too much to recount too much of our night right now. Suffice it to say we drank, danced, drank, got our funk on, and did more dancing and drinking to the funky ass killer sounds of Big Sam!!! We even got to meet the band and give them hugs (me and BK). After the show I wanted to talk to the bassist--who was amused when he noticed me copying his funky licks on air bass while I was dancing--and so we sat and chatted for a bit. He was so sweet, telling me I don't look over 25 (he's 26) and putting my # in his iPhone and texting me after I left! He sent me a message saying I was really beautiful and to text him when I'm in New Orleans in August so I can show him some blues bass licks. Yeah right!

Tonight Stefano will have King Crab legs for us. I don't think I'll be drinking though. So even though this week I only abstained from Tues-Weds. we can now add Friday to the final score. We gotta get to bed early b/c I have to be in freakin' Atascocita by 9am for this class at the academy. The rest of the weekend, I MUST CHILL. I've got so many things to accomplish: some light housework, leisure reading, and catching up on my DVR'ing and movie watching. I already warned Stefano I need to do some things around my house. He left lilies for me last night, so I'd like to hang out w/my lilies this weekend too!
