Today is Frank Mills Day. If you don't know what Frank Mills Day is go listen to the soundtrack from the musical Hair. Former Room mate loved it and as part of our ongoing search for holidays to celebrate when we were in college, we decided to start celebrating Frank Mills day. We also celebrate Waitangi Day which is particularly big in New Zealand. What was just a reason to crack open a beer has now become two more legitimate holidays on my calendar.

Today is also my mother's birthday. Friday my sister and I had balloons sent to her at work (she's a lunch lady). She loved it. I meant to call her today to wish her a happy birthday but unfortunately didn't get to do it. Before I realized what time it was I knew she would be in bed, and none too pleased with me if I called at 11 p.m. on a Sunday just to wish her a happy birthday. I hope it was happy for her. She's had so many issues to deal with over the past few years. Mainly revolving around my father. Sigh. Sometimes when I actually have time to stop and reflect about it, I wonder if underneath it all I've been such a commitment phobe all of these years because of that horrible situation. Heck, I'll admit it, I do have this deep seated fear that if I do ever commit to the big M, the same thing could happen to me. After over 25 years of marriage I'll wake up one day to find my husband has had an affair and has decided he doesn't want to be married anymore. Sigh. It's an easy cop out to blame everything on my parentals, I know. But there has to be some kernal of truth in it.

Last night YKW did the coolest thing for me. He was at the Live concert going on at our local fair and in the middle of one of their best songs he called me, didn't say a word (that I could tell) and held the phone up for me to listen for a good portion of the song. How awesome is that! I loved it. At the time I was at a deck opening party new friends Bobbi and Mike were having. My one friend who was also there told me after I hung up I must have had a good phone call because I just sat there with a huge grin on my face the whole time.

Tomorrow night I'll be attending said fair myself. The Lobster is paying some of us servers to hand out coupons. All we have to do is walk around and pass them out to anyone we want. The Lobster is paying for our way in. My friend Connie and I just looked at each other and said, oh, we have to do this. Should be a good time. It always is when you put the two of us together. I have my food all planned out already so I can at least have a waffles & ice cream sandwich. Yummmmm....

*YAWN* God, I didn't realize how late it was. Need to get some sleep. Tomorrow if I have time I'll answer George's question about my moniker.
