So that was a rather intense weekend.
I won’t give you all of the details but I will outline a few highlights.

The group 71 anniversary dinner was like 10 people going on a date with each other. It was a little weird. Amanda and I had a drink before dinner and it was a nice time.

Faitala has it that, one of the new Trainee’s showed up for his first language session wearing combat boots, and an ie. When I heard this I laughed my ass off, but the recovering goth in me kept thinking “WOW that’s HOT”.

Later at the after part for the Fia fia same trainee got up and sang “A Boy named Su” with Pete. I am sorry I won’t get to stay to watch more of their antics.

Mo did up my dreads and put lots of flowers in my hair for the Fiafia and I wore the fancy blue dress I made. I sort of felt like I had my grandmothers tea cozy on my head, but lots of people said it looked neat. (I may possibly have pics… at some point in time.)

The fiafia went off without a hitch and a lot of people used words like “Best one ever”. I know the after party was certainly a lot of fun. I didn’t tell any jokes, but Pete and Brian stepped up to the plate and made sure that it was not a humorless program.

Sunday… Football at LeMoana, or actually I think they are calling themselves “Kofi Haus” now… whatever. Collins restaurant. The 9ers didn’t play so I had a nice relief from personal stakes in any of the games. That didn’t stop me however from taking Pete’s money on the Seattle, Houston game. What kind of sucker bet on Houston? I even gave him a 14 point spread… not that I needed it… but still.

When Mia wakes me up at 2am with her “I like to go insane and bark like a mad dog at the big lizard under the steps who taunts me” routine, I forget how much I am going to miss her and think “Oh good goddess will I be glad when this is over.” As soon as I am awake enough to realize what I am thinking… I always feel real bad.
Dumb Dog… How will I live without her?
