The Birthday Weekend

I have the best weekend in such a long time! It was my birthday on Friday and I don't feel old at all. It started out as a normal day at work, then I started getting birthday messages from family and best friends. I felt all gooey inside from each one. I even heard from people who I thought didn't know when my birthday was. Then we headed off to a pool party and the local pools. I now see my friend Alice in a whole new light. With a beer in her hand, she can get through this blow up obstacle course (in the pool) from start to finish. I know I sound like a may be a bit of an alcoholic, but I swear I'm not. It was just a really good night. Then after the pool party we headed onto the pub. I remember nearly falling off my chair and being caught by adam, then the chair hitting his foot. It was a pretty funny 3 second moment. The journey home was even better - I have this thing once drinking, I must power walk home. It's weird I know. I got up my drive-way, stubbed my toe. Then when I got inside I thought that I could walk from the bathroom to my bedroom without any lights on (it didn't occur to me that I usually do with sober) but I walked into the wall and stubbed my other toe. I don't think I'll do that again :P

Last night was awesome too! I love playing trivial pursuit, and I don't know many other people who get excited at the prospect of a quiz challenge (maybe that's the teacher in me). So one of the highschool teacher brought over the lastest edition. It was going off. But it was just nice mixing with the other teachers when there has been a riff between the two schools for so long. We were all being girly and screaming because there were HUGE crickets & grasshoppers jumping on us all night, but hell it was funny. Then we went for a drive around the town. We found a bobcat at stickman's place, and god bless lorrae. Lorrae got up on the bobcat and was sitting on the gear stick. I seriously wonder about her sometimes but we were all cracking up laughing. And whoever said that Meekatharra isn't all that fun. I've had some of the best times of my life up here. I'm gonna miss it when I leave at the end of the year. But then I'm just as lucky to be going back to family & friends who love me and move into my house. I can't wait to move! Woo hoo!
