I think I'm a regular on the reality show "Punk'd"

I went to my cousin's reception/cocktail party at City Hall last night in aid of Breast Cancer. She owns a digital imaging (ultrasound) company called Ultimate Imaging.   As you may or may not know, it is Breast Cancer month.  (Pull out ya pink everybody!..wait...I wonder why they chose pink...but anyway, thats' hardly relevant Chmaine!)

Although, I was about 30 minutes late, It was an excellent turn-out...the hor'douves were tasty and I had about four glasses of Pinot Grigio (not including the fill-ups before my glass was empty). Upon arrival, there had been a display in the main ground floor lobby, which gave a quick-look at people you may know that are Cancer "survivors"..(hearing the term makes it seem sooo threatening, right?).  I was surprised at the number of people whose faces had been familiar to me. Once I arrived upstairs, there was a bar arraigned outside the doors so that you could collect your glass of wine or soda before you entered the gallery. Once inside, you were asked to sign in and offered a raffle ticket for $2 for the draw at the end of the night for some small prizes.  Also, if you booked an appointment at Ultimate Imaging within the next 2 years, you would be entered in a draw to win an Ipad 2.  I attempted to do so but I m not eligible because I had to be 40 or going 40. FML! To be honest, I really just wanted to be x-rayed, its been a while - not for any other reason and I have no health concern.

There were a few stalls set up around the room -all women interest stalls such as jewelry making, Zumba classes, a ballet work out class registration, make-up stall and a clothing designer's stall.  The guest speakers were 'survivors' telling their personal triumphs and a representative from PALS spoke, thereafter.  It was an enlightening experience especially because I am a smoker and have vowed to quit as a New Years Resolution, EVERY year since I started...smh! I've cut back, by the way. Yayy Me! ....After all the speakers finished, there was a brief demonstration from the Zumba instructors.  The crowd was wowed, I was like, I do that when I go to the club, whats the big deal? But in all, it was a good evening. Of course, my son had called twice because he was hungry, so I had to gulp down my 5th glass of wine and made my way home.

So as I leave City Hall, merely sober, I walked into the parking lot to realize, I had forgotten where I had parked the 'rental'....I stillllll don't have my car back from HWP (yeah, its been about a year, now - those bastards!) That was a sure indicator for me that its time for a trip, losing your car in City Hall Parking lot is like losing a sock in your laundry...like how da fuck is that possible? I was talking to a friend long distance who had just added me on bbm, in an attempt to play off that I couldn't find my car.  She had told me that she got my pin# from Facebook...at the time, I had no idea how she could have done that but I couldnt get on that train to find out, that was the least of my worries, I needed to find my 'rental'. After about 3 mins into my mini heart-attack, I saw the yellow plate....AMEN..so I hopped in the car and drove to the store to get cigarettes.  Once I came out of the store, I had hamburger meat, the  D-I-Y taco dinner and gummie worms....I get in the house, my son's crashed on the couch, still in school clothes, my dog has chewed every action figure my son has and has scattered them around the house...and my dishes from breakfast haven't been washed! FUCKKKK! I was beyond pissed, not to mention I was tired from the wine I had drank at the cocktail reception. Sooo, I washed the dishes, after shouting at my son for about 10 whole minutes...meanwhile, he's looking at me like I'm being the 'extra' one..I sent him to get his bath while I cooked dinner. Taco meal was the a great idea, it took me about 10 mins tops.  My son was still in the shower (allegedly) so I decided to go have a cigarette...where the fuck are my cigarettes I just brought???...shittt!! so I laid down instead.  About 15 minutes had past before I realized I was sleep and left the stove on. I looked around wondering where my 'children' were.  I go in the bathroom, my son's crashed on the toilet - go look for my dog, he's has since which, carried one shoe from my 3 pairs of shoes in my room into the living room as an 'accents' to the action figures decorating the floor and is now crashed in the window sill. (Lord, please tell me this is not my life!) So of course, I wake them, feed my son, feed my dog, then go and lay down..just when I thought my night was over, my friend stops by..I fed her too. So we're talking and she asks me why did I post my pin# as my status on Facebook...*blank stare*..."I'm sorry, what!?!?"...

Siggghhhh! ~ I think I need a vacation from life
