Just putting this out there…

Parents who say they don’t have time to do certain things, or any couples for that matter, are full of it. You can always make time. Like if the kids are in the bath…

That’s all I have to say about that…

Go vodka Rockstars!

I’m waiting for Azra to come downstairs so I can take her to school.  So what do I do (thinking I had a quick five minutes)?  I check facebook.  I went and looked at Dave’s ex’s profile again.  I don’t know why I do, maybe curious as to what she is up to.  One of her status comments made me laugh because according to what I know of her from Dave she is absolutely right. 

I also saw she had uploaded some pics.  I took offense that the realtor who sold their house had invited HER to his sons birthday party and not Dave.  It’s because of Dave that he got a nice fat commission cheque but he goes and invites her instead?  I have a feeling it’s because he might not be totally comfortable with Dave’s tattoo’s or maybe his wife wanted Cathleen instead.   Either way, not really impressed. 

This is where the REALIZATION comes in.  Who cares?  Who cares what she is doing as long as she is being positive in front of the kids.  Who cares if some realtor doesn’t invite us to his kids birthday party instead of her?  As long as the kids are alright - who cares. Sounds like Azra is ready for school… 

To make a long story short I flew out of Vancouver today (instead of Abbotsford) into Calgary for yet another week-long stay.  Sometimes it feels like I’ve never left this city.  The lame thing about early domestic flights on an airline you don’t have status miles with (so no ceasars pre-boarding) is the watered down coffee you’re subjected to at the news stand.  I purchased 3 magazines (I love fall advertising) and awaited boarding.  Finally once boarding was called and after standing in line for a little bit I recognize a face I hadn’t seen in awhile.  I’m pretty sure it was Mark but his head was bic’d to a shiny Mr. Clean shine.  I get on board, certain it was him, and with my speediness on my Blackberry I facebook wall messaged him saying, “I think I just saw you in YVR, if so have a nice flight!”  Turns out he was on my plane with a seat two rows ahead of me but ended up sitting in my row instead. 

Now here comes the title of my post.  I hadn’t seen Mark in a LONG time.  I used to see him out at these JetSet parties and other places around town.  The first time I met him was 5-6 years ago.  We talked about everything under the sun on the plane ride to Calgary.  Once in Calgary he offered to drive me to wherever I needed to go.  So I accepted.  In the car ride we kept talking and that was when he said, “I forgot how funny you are!”  I was also described as “calming” which I also get often.  Even though I have a boyfriend who continuously tells me how wonderful I am, it’s nice to know that others see the good traits in me also.  Kind of like your mom telling you you’re beautiful (even though my mother never told me that and when I finally asked her some years ago why she never said so she said it was because she didn’t want it going to my head) - it doesn’t count.

So, thank you Mr. McAlduff for the laughs and word-games.  I hope you get to enjoy the waterslides at the Sheraton Cavalier.
