Babies, Bike Crashes, Book Club, and Boyfriends

Friday afternoon I receive a phone call from Great Dane Pain. Cumonawanalaya is in labor and we are having happy hour at Antonio's. Wowsers! I was at a stopping point anyway, so off I go. Just Bridgett, @ss Gagger, Great Dain Pain, Back Door Bitch, Just Alex and Just Zia were already there. Shortly after, we were joined by Sphincter Blinker. I only had one Negro Modelo (yummy!). The rule was whoever had more than one drink couldn't hold the baby. We headed over to the hospital and met up with Blassst Zone's father, Cumonawanalaya parents, Free Meat, Michelle, and Just Amanda. At 8 pm we were allowed in to visit w/ the Keevers and meet Kaylee. What a special evening! They are going to make incredible parents and I'm excited for them!

After running some errands on Saturday, I had a short amount of time before I had to get ready for my 'book club' meeting. It was a beautiful day and I haven't been on my bike yet this year, so I suggested we go out for a short ride around the neighborhood. The ride went well until the end. BC wanted to end w/ a short sprint. We were at an intersection and he gave me directions using street names, except he mixed up the names. The result is I went straight and he turned directly in front of me. I tried to turn and miss him, but ended up hitting his rear tire. I fell over and now have a couple of nasty bruises to show for it.

After showering, I headed off to the first meeting of the Non-Book Book Club. Cumonawanalaya was supposed to be there, but do to the early arrival of Kaylee, couldn't make it. We decided to stop off there on the way and visit. We hung out for about an hour. Blassst Zone, Cumonawanalaya and Kaylee were doing good, but in desparate need of sleep. Nurses kept coming in and poking and prodding and made it difficult to get any sleep. Once we were done w/ the visit, we headed out to Michelle's house for the meeting. For the next six hours we drank wine, talked, and read excerpts from 'Why Do Men Have Nipples'. It was nice just to hang out with just the girls. I realize how lucky I am to have such vibrant, funny, intelligent, beautiful, and caring friends.

Let's see. Boyfriends. BC went out of town yesterday morning. In that time, his daughter Y got a new boyfriend and they have their first fight. I've gotten to hear ALL about him and the fight. Every miniscule detail. Oh joy! If only this Stepmother gig paid per word listened...
