Last night was our outing for (a belated) Mother’s Day. My mom and Kevin and all three of my kids plus Jarrett - my middle daughter’s live-in boyfriend- and I were there. We were going to eat at a Mexican place but they had an hour and forty-five minute wait so my mom secured a long table across the street at a pizza/bar type place. Nobody got pizza actually: my mom and I got cavatappi mac ‘n cheese -my favorite- hers with bacon, mine with jalapeños. Noah and I split a dessert: fried cookie dough in a fried roll cut in half diagonally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauces. I got cards- one of which had a $25 Starbucks gift card in it, which is good because after buying my contacts and eye exam last week, I’m broke (practically). Next month will be tight, too, I’m predicting.
I had a relaxing morning. I listened to another professional recording that I did with the Grail Singers back around 2005. It’s not as spectacular as the one when I was pregnant with Noah and I barely recognized a lot of the pieces but my name is printed on the CD insert so I must’ve sung for the recording! Even better, I found a live concert CD of us and the third track is a Gregorian chant with a solo in the middle and darned it it isn’t me! I don’t have a memory of singing that solo but that’s unmistakably my voice and my style of singing! I also talked with Caleb this morning for about an hour and a half- not as long as sometimes but still a worthwhile conversation. Just a few minutes ago I messaged him that I love him and he was happy about that.
