Because I'm avoiding work, my office mate is gone this week, the gov-y boss
is out today and things are TOO quiet this morning. Plus starting at 9 AM I
have meetings almost back to back to back.... I thought I'd blog ... :-)
I'd like my mother to check with the head PA Girl's Group person to assure her I'm not usually the person she meets at the State Convention. Manic is not my usual methodology.
I think I've mentioned about the Bubba's Family "50th" wedding anniversary
extravaganza? The reason we still have snow this late in March - hell is slowly
freezing over as Bubba and his sister are communicating regularly and there isn't
yelling and nasty name calling involved. I know!
There was the whole --we'll send them on a cruise, and the subsequent booking, asking them update their passports and then the statement "J won't get on a boat" which led to cancellation of said cruise ---- Apparently last night after ANOTHER conversation with his sister (I swear I
just saw Hitler doing a double axle in the parking lot) when Bubba Mama J was asked by
Ts daughter D why she didn't like cruise ships... she appeared VERY
surprised. So apparently Bubba Dad FD didn't want to go and used J as an excuse.
Whoopsie! LOL
So instead of an all expense paid trip on a boat - they get all expense paid
family pictures. I was a snot and asked Bubba if I was going to be allowed to be
in these pictures. He didn't remember the story about older Niece A's second wedding
where I was not invited in the family pictures -- and amazing how I've never
seen any of those snaps and they have never been mentioned again. (snort,
snicker) Whatever. His reaction was to shrug and move on. And he wonders why
I blog about his family. Clue pumpkin!
Speaking of his family, his parents made an appearance last weekend... they
showed up in time for Dinner Friday night, we ate out all weekend, walked the
dogs, Bob showed off his car, his motorcycle and they went home Sunday after
brunch. The only thing interesting they mentioned is the fact they don't have
their will done! I darn near bit my lips off. Great! When you all kick off
- Bubba gets it all, and in spite of your repeated wishes that those "little
kids" get taken care of... probably won't happen. Bubba's default formula
(according to him) Assets divided by 2 named T and Bubba - after that it's all
over. I plan to sit back with a glass of adult beverage and enjoy the show.
Please heavens may this be many, many years from now.
I think I offended my mother in law's sensibilities when she mentioned
shopping for clothes for A's brood for the summer. I said... why don't you
hit up the goodwill store? Summer clothes they are going to out grow and play
in all summer - why would you waste good money? She said if she shops for sales
at Kohl's she can get $5 t-shirts. Kohls? the woman is an idiot. I'd start at
Wal-Mart and go down from there!! I offered to her if she sent me sizes I'd go
shopping for them. At the Salvation Army/ GoodWill/ Thrift stores. She I think was shocked that
I shopped there! And Bubba doesn't think I'm cheap! I have my moments.
Speaking of cheap - he wants to go to Dish Network instead of Direct TV...
he's not going to be happy, I've said that. I told him to read the reviews...
but he'll do it anyway - things will suck it will be months before he does
anything... then we'll probably switch back and it will be a nightmare. I'm
making signs... "I told you so" "Pay the extra $20 and get what you want" -
"Amazing how cost is no object with YOUR toys..."
I may hang onto the last one for other things... we'll see.
Oh and he's told me he's working late tonight, tomorrow night because he's taking Friday off to go to Ohio to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins play in Ohio. Did I mention airfare, hotel, and food all weekend? Why yes he's still complaining about my "Group" expenses... Some day I will find the clue bat the works on Bubba... until then...
I will blog....
Signing off and wondering if I can put my toes in my coffee cup! Office will not hot up today!
