Getting Drunk

So, I was out with my mom last night. we went to see Shrek 2, since we were both hot and bored and I'd been paid so I was able to do something fun. It was better than I thought it was going to be, which is nice since I'd paid the exorbitant amount that they charge nowadays for computers anyways. It was cute, but I can see why some people didn't like it, because the newness and the "oh my gosh its the gingerbread man" and, "wow- they did a great job with the graphics" is all gone. But the story was cute and moved along at a good pace. and then my mom sprung for food at McGinnis Landing, which I haven't been to in a long time. Pretty good and humongous portions, so we split the cashew chiken linguini- mmmmmm. And i had a daquiri, which has been one of the few times I've ever drunk in front of her and certainly the only time that I've had to drive after, so she was a little worried. It was just one average sized drink, and I didn't even finish it because she was talking about one of the few times she was drunk and how sick she was and what she'd had to eat that day, so it kind of threw me off the whole thing. Thankfully, thats something I haven't experienced, and I have been blessed with a good enough brain to hopefully never do that. But, dude, enough people want ot get me drunk! I don't know what it is, I guess they just want to see me uninhibited- which I admit that I could be at times, but for the most part, the people who want to get me drunk are people who I wouldn't really trust to take care of me if I were really smashed. Such as my brother- all sorts of pranks he could do to me run through my head. and travis- even more possibilites for torment. anyways, yes I was fine driving home- though my mother said it disturbed her that I wasn't even slightly tipsy from my drink- though I though that would be a good thing. Whatever. shes a mother- she has liscense to make no sense.

(Sorry mom- I know you read this sometimes.)

Tonight we had our second meeting for our greeting/fellowship small group at the River, and its really exciting to see things taking shape, but tonight really brought it home that we will be starting our Practice services in the chapel this Sunday. I'm debating coming to the early service because we're in the middle of a series on Joseph. and I want to hear the ned of it, but maybe it'd be better to make a clean break. I'm just pumped to be meeting regularly with these people and to have an opportunity to get to know more of them!
