Vanity & Sin

Mambo 8!!!

Memorial Day weekend this year was the BEST weekend ever! I had my first attempt at surprising someone that came off without a hitch! Damn was I nervous! New mommy needed a getaway & the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Following a series of events early this spring, and a MUCH needed email conversation to restore some sanity in my brain - I had an epiphany! I decided to surprise Dave (and others) for his annual Mambo gathering. And let me say this, as I was hugging the wall of his house not to be spotted, I probably could have thrown up in his driveway - but with the help of my best friend Beth, her mom and little brother - the look on his face as I came around the corner will forever be priceless!! And the fact that he didn't kill himself flying down the stairs was a bonus too.

I got to see Ed, meet his fabulous wife Krissy - who I just want to eat up and keep forever! Larissa and her family came too - and WOW has her son grown! It was a blast with fab food, great drinks with friends - and a time to share great memories and discoveries about all our new families and lives. Not to mention the certain 'entertainment' of one who shall remain nameless that yes, Dave probably has some great pics of all that...and I am not sure if I want to know of any of ME in particular meeting a bet..I am hoping Ed put the camera down by then.

All in all it was the best ever - my first appearance at Mambo in YEARS, before the days it even was Mambo..and the best night I've had in a long time. And this time, I intend on making many more. Damn, I missed everyone more than they or I realized!
