This weekend was surrounded by friends, family and way-too-much-food. Friday we spent the day and evening with Kirstin and Dave, they got to meet Monster Boy (aka Gary) and I know he got their stamp of approval (while we stuffed ourselves with sushi). This was very important to me. Gary is the first guy that they have met since I started dating again. Yes, it is becoming pretty serious. I refuse to gush and rave because I don’t want to jinx it but to put it simply I’m falling for him. I’m scared, excited and nervous as hell. I think I’ll get over it and really allow myself to trust someone again. I love the fact that he is being patient with me.
Saturday we went to London where I met his -entire- family. Yup, I was pretty nervous but they were all so wonderful that they put me at ease right away. I felt comfortable and part of his family in no time at all. I got to have ham…mmm..ham…salads and various finger foods. Later we went and stopped in to see a friend of his who is double casted. It was a St. Patrick’s Day incident that ended up with him falling down a flight of stairs and in an emergency room with three beaten and drunken leprechauns (from different incidents). That was relaxing, and just what I needed after seeing everyone in his family all at once. After that we called it an early night since his brother had to move on Sunday.
Sunday we caught the bus back to Toronto and had the joy…I mean really folks it was an absolute joy…to sit behind a woman who talked for two hours straight about nothing in particular. One of those people who just talk to hear their voice. Gary managed to dose off, lucky bastard, but I could not tune her out. When we got back to my place I was ecstatic to find that my sister had finally returned home after being away for a month and a half. It is great to have her back even if she is taking off to Florida next week 
And that, ladies and gentlemen was my lovely Easter weekend. I hope yours was just as nice
