Yipee

Two great things happened today.

One: I got to see my boys for the first time since the great Valentines Debacle of 2006. In other words since I told baby-momma that I'd watch the kids so she could have a Valentines Date but only if the kids could stay with me and T who was in town at the time. She said no, so I said no and I hadn't seen the boys since. Today was Shawn's birthday and he had a great time. We had cake and he got some games for his gamecube. Problem was in order to get them to focus more on learning games with the VSmile and books and such, baby-momma had put the gamecube in the closet and when we took it down to plug it back in, it wouldn't stay on.

Soooo, in addition to the Walmart giftcard I'd gotten him so he could buy his own games, we ended up going to the mall and I got them another gamecube and few new games to go with. First thing Shawn asked when I got to the house was how T was (they didn't know anything about the weekend) and mentioned how D missed talking to her. He used to call her Tawa.

Anyways, here are my lovelies at the mall while I was buying the new gamecube.

And number two.......

I finally downloaded the pics from last week.

Yes she said there would be no pics but I managed to snap off a few of my wonderful night out with Arkie. I not only got to see her once but actually twice last week and we had a ball. The first pic is from Tuesday night when we ate at BocaDiBeppo and talked for nearly 4 hours.

Thursday, we started the night out by eating at Joes Crab Shack and the food was delicious. We talked about everything under the sun and just life in general.



There may have been a little smut talk but I promise I did not give Arkie crabs. *snort*


After dinner we headed over to GrahamStation in Nasvhille. This place is awesome. There are several clubs all in one building and one admission fee gets you into all the clubs. We spent most of the night in the Karoake bar though and the people working there were a hoot. They would sing backup for the people doing Karoake and during breaks when no one else was singing they would sing with their pretend guitars and wigs and all kinds of different outfits that gave it a very karoake/comedy club feel.

I did get up and sing "I walk the line" for my baby while Arkie let her listen in on the phone. I had a few drinks so I was bold enough to get back up and sing "Roses" by Outkast and "Suspicious Minds" by the King himself. I tried, I really did to get Arkie up on stage but she said there wasn't enough alchohol in the place to make that happen. We checked out another of the clubs where the women danced on the bar and once again I tried to get her up on the bar. Well , I know Arkie aint that shy but I gave her a pass and told her next time I'm slipping her a roofie *grin*. We stayed out till a bit after midnight and had just a total blast.

Of course I get a little camera happy and so Arkie showed me her appreciation for all the photos.
