Don't hate cuz you don't have a Mom like mine.

So I didn’t do anything particularly wild last night, but still managed to have a good time.

Went out to dinner with my Mom. Now, I know what you’re thinking, she hangs out with her Mom? Yes, I do and I’m damn proud of it!! I think more people should. In fact, I’ve never understood why more people don’t. I guess some people have it better than others in terms of Mom’s and I truly lucked out. She’s hella-cool, almost as much as me, and looks more like my older sister than the woman who gave birth to me. In short, she’s the bees-knees!! Love you, Ma!

Anyway, we went to her favorite place in Weymouth called, "Ecco." Good Italian/American food at a great price. Very nice atmosphere too. We, of course, sat at the bar because we just aren’t table people. After all, I am a bartender (best darn one in the city) and I like helping my fellow booze-pushers out, you dig? Anyway, she’s a regular — and I’ve become one through her — so we’re treated like royalty. Got to love a place where everyone knows your name. I guess that’s why Cheers was so popular.

We discussed my upcoming cruise (11 days, by the way) and her fabulous limo night (planned for Feb. 10). See how dope she is? Renting a limo with her girls and heading into Boston for a night on the town? How many other Moms you know who roll like that? Anyway, it’s just one part of her year-long celebration of her 50th birthday (July 4). Other celebration plans include: Her trip to Fort Myers for Red Sox spring break, a trip to New York to see a Sox/Yankees game in the Bronx (just where do you think I got my Sox obsession from?), and a rad bash tentatively slated for July 1.

After finishing up with Mom, I decided to head home to meet my man and watch the Boston College/Duke basketball game. (You know, what any cute 20-something girl would do!!). Game was in Boston and the scene was crazy!! Wish I could have been there, but I wasn’t exactly about to shell out $800 for a ticket. I wouldn’t pay that much for a Sox ticket (unless it was Game 4 of the 2004 WS, of course). The No. 14 Eagles played well against the No. 2 team in the country, but came up short in an 83-81 decision.

That’s about it. Working all weekend at the bar, so you probably won’t hear from me again until Monday morning. Enjoy your weekend!! Do something fun while thinking of me slaving away!!
