At 6:30, we met in the lobby. And can I just say that we all looked HOT! Wow. Everyone was dolled up and this is the part where I stroke MBB's ego. Hot damn! MBB looked fucking awesome! (just ask The Girl :P) We piled into a vehicle that will forever be remembered as The Party Bus. There was lots of talking and laughing as we drove to SB's house. When we arrived there was a lot of staring. This house was breathtaking, absolutely gorgeous. SB had laid out lots of yummy things to munch on and opened several bottles of Merlot. I think MBB and I finished off two of them all by ourselves. Dinner was served in the formal dining room, which was just lovely. Salad, wine, lasagna (which I SO need the recipe for!), wine, bread, wine, and then the brownies! -sigh- Let me just say that the brownies, topped in ice cream, dark chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry managed to render us all speechless. There were nine grown adults making orgasmic sounds over their chocolate, barely saying a word. That may have been the only time all weekend that we were quiet!
Then, it was back into the party bus for the drive to Cowboys. I was in this wonderful, relaxed state just listening to everyone talk and laugh... Or I was drunk. :P
I was looking at all of these people who I have talked to online for like two years, maybe longer, and have known in person for all of twenty four hours. I am looking at everyone and I was just so happy to know them all. I felt so lucky to be in the company of all of these other single parents who I respect and admire in so many different ways. It tugged at my heartstrings to listen to everyone being so happy. These are great people, all of them, and they are all my friends! How cool is that?
It was hilarious, every time we went to one of these places, no one wanted to take their purses in so they would load up their pockets with all the necessities. The Girl grabbed her butt: money - check, id - check, gum - check, smokes - check. The a quick adjustment in the front: boobs - check. We arrived at Cowboys and there were lots of (get this -snicker-) cowboys :P Not quite the attendance we had the night before, but close enough. Lola and I took turns pointing out guys we would let escort us back to our hotel, should they be interested, lol. Then I look up and there they are, The Morticians, all three of them. We unanimously decided that it was a sign, fate, destiny that I sleep with the guy in the black shirt! I mean, come on, of all the bars in Dallas and had walked into mine... twice? Three times, if you counted the Rodeo! Yup, he had to be talked to. Except that Kate hadn't had quite as much to drink as she thought, as she was -gasp- chickening out??? Ok, to clarify, this guy was not your normal cute/good-looking guy. He was hot. When you read a book that says 'he was tall, dark, and handsome', they are talking about The Mortician, even his fucking back was pretty. And yes, I so chickened out. I couldn't talk to this guy, I was intimidated, sue me.

"The most wasted day is one in which we have not laughed"
"Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once in a while you might miss it."
"Guys are like stars, there's a million of them out there but only one of them can make your dreams come true."
"Reach for the moon, even if you miss you will still land among the stars"

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
