How disappointing... to leave a week earlier!
Bingos of the night so far:
EMULATED (74 points) - against Ceri J.
GLUEPOT (88 points) - against Korey
TRICKERY (78 points) - against Dave H.
SERRANOOS (66 points) - against Jono M.
Learned that David S. is going to the Sunday Dinner - sweet! Henry picked me up late for Awana, but it gave me a few more minutes to relax after running to the store to grab some stuff. Said work was busy, and then we just settled in to listen to his random music. When we got to the church, Stanley saw me from his parents' car - he growled at me, in a passable bear imitation! The kids were singing I'M IN THE LORD'S ARMY by the time we got there, which is an indication of how late we were! Golden, Jessica, and I tried convincing Jordan that he shouldn't look at stuff in the Awana store if he didn't have any Awana dollars. That didn't go well, particularly when we told him that he could NOT have things for free since stores normally didn't operate that way! Tried corralling little Sean, said hi to his brother Ian who had a great dinosaur shirt on, and told their mom Ada that I didn't need a ride home. Sabrina sat with me at the secretary table since she was really tired from an 8 AM work shift and she was lazy: Henry termed that an EPIC FAIL later on, haha. Joey said hi, we listened to the kids do their songs for the awards ceremony next week, and I kept myself generally busy. Melia didn't know it was just ME doing all the scoring work - oh well.
Chrystal drove Lanie and Hilary home: talked about Richmond Centre, rain, weather variations, graduation, teaching piano, no summer Awana, etc. I made myself at home when we got to Chrystal and Emily's: Danielle, Fidela (who was late), Vanessa (who had to rescue her parents), Melia (who stayed for a bit only), Becky, Steph, Grace, Michelle (who came later with Daniel), and Calla joined us for a fun night. Had salads, prawns (which Cindy's allergic to), perogies, stuff with cheese (which Calla's allergic to), Fidela's homemade cake, roasted chicken, and more. The two sisters-in-law were telling each other some TMI (which started with Grace being mad at Phil), so Steph just screamed and left their conversation! We decided that Danielle was obsessed with Winnie's baby (Connor is a blob of cuteness!), and that Megan was very cool.
Steph had a disappointing announcement: she leaves on the 22nd instead of the 29th, and can't do anything about the wedding! Melia knew, but not anyone else until she told us. She had to take the call at lunch, and then was visibly emotional walking back into a meeting: of course the aunties and uncles were concerned! No wonder there was a brief silence later when Fidela said that her cousin Megan would see her at Melia's wedding in a particular dress she got in Arizona for cheap! Discussed Cindy and Dianne's brother Tony getting married in Richmond on Sunday (Minoru Chapel - yay!), pierced ears, Acer, Clement, brothers who just walk in your room, the thing where you aren't spreading disease and wiping the floor with your panties, and how you shouldn't have to observe a dress code for YOUR OWN ROOM! We heard the story of Steph's friend Rachel's lactose intolerance, and how my dad reacted to that one day back when the girls were in high school...
*girls are in kitchen with my dad, and Steph pours herself a big glass of milk*
Dad: Hey, Steph. You should pour Rachel some milk too!
Rachel, who's JUST found out she's lactose-intolerant: Remember about my intolerance, Steph!
Steph, knowing she shouldn't: Are you SURE you don't want some?
Rachel: You know I can't!
Dad: Rachel! Have some! You're just being too picky!
*Steph perforce pours her friend a glass of milk*
Rachel: .... thanks.... *drinks it, and suffers the inevitable consequences ten minutes later*
We all crowded into Emily's room later to try on necklaces and earrings, and then marveled at Chrystal's large room, (Grace was stealing paper quietly in the corner, haha) Daniel took pictures of us, including a FAUX clubbing one - then he used everyone's cameras to take pictures of himself! Discussed a 24 Countdown Game, Jack Bauer, the stereotypical Chinese couple not QUITE holding hands, Becky's trip to Indiana, Calla's frustration as a field planner when trips keep getting postponed, Vicky, parties, Powerpoint, Googling "RCMP outfit," sticks, leftover food, and more. Quite a good night, for sure! :D
