Pomelos, Shiraz red wine, and being careful in Budapest

Bused over to the townhouse, where my mom thought I should have responded to her email. Eh, I called Jon, who DID tell her despite what she said - that's good enough even if she wasn't home. Mom also said that City Fresh Market was sold out of lobster, so she got prawns instead. It wasn't a huge deal... we got some ice wine and a pomelo that Harmony had brought over at separate times, too. Jon and Harmony were looking things up for their honeymoon on the computer: apparently, they need to be careful in Budapest because of the Gypsies. That reminds me of Kalidrom - I haven't talked to him in years, man. We had baby carrots, pepper, gravy, La Fin Du Monde beer, bok choy, Shiraz red wine from Elaine and Matt's wedding reception, steak, prawns, ice wine, black sesame tofu dessert, and coffee for dinner! Steph was going to go out for dinner, but her friend got called in to work, so she joined us. Jon and I lifted Harmony up, which she didn't seem to appreciate much, heh. Harmony couldn't really lift Jon up, haha. We managed to keep her out of the kitchen most of the night, which was awesome!

We talked about real estate, the hockey / baseball games on TV, documents, Fellowship programs (cultivating small groups / hiking), whether Mom should pack food for Myles and Holly, plans for tomorrow till the weekend or Monday, Vivian S., Mother's Day and Mom's birthday, karaoke, watching tomorrow's hockey game downtown, a card Mom got for the three of us to sign for Grandma on Mother's Day, trying to get Grandma to drink beer, awesome comebacks to hate, and other things. Harmony was a bit confused when I brought up Raymond's singing in fluent Chinese: he is NOT Ray, heh. But I can definitely understand that! Jon joked that PANTIES ON HOOPS could be the musical entertainment at the wedding - Harmony just thought that it would make the occasion memorable for all the WRONG reasons, hahaha!

When I got on the computer to check something briefly, I noted that Erik had invited me to his birthday on Saturday - I'll reply to that later; thank goodness it isn't on Monday since that's the tentative date for Mother's Day / Mom's 61st birthday dinner. (should bring relevant cards on Friday since the four of us might be together again!) Mom gave me a can of diet Pepsi, gave Harmony some stuff, and gave both of us a Ziploc bag of Jelly Flops - yay for Pastor Fulton jokes! (I agree with Harmony that the candy could be very dangerous!) We let Harmony know of the Blue Diamond almond factory / Jelly Belly factory "lunch" where we ate all the samples at the almond place. Steph kindly drove me home, and I let her know about the used condoms at the billiard room - EWWWWWW is right! Teresa's added me to MSN, so that's good. Pretty good night, I would venture!
