2) Married Son needed to borrow my car for a few minutes today. He only had to run to the store, and because it was raining didn't want to take Grandson with him. Grandson didn't want to stay with me, until he found out I had an unopened can of Pringle's. Needless to say I couldn't get rid of him after that. Kid happy, until the Pringle's were gone!! Meijer's has them 5 for $5, looks like I'll be running up to the store tomorrow after school to stock up on bribes!
3) Woo Hoo ... Saturday is almost here!! Saturday is the day the Star Trek Exhibit opens at the Detroit Science Center. They're having a *uniformed* members only preview on Friday. Drats!! Still no official uniform so I can't go.
4) Probably a good thing I can't go on Friday, this way I can devote the day to the take-home Accounting exam that needs attention.
5) Tomorrow is Stress Management. Gym day. Ya, gym day. Haven't had one of those since elementary school. I almost feel like a kid again, too. I can finally wear the shoes I bought last week! No, they still don't allow *street shoes* on the gymnasium floor so I have to carry my shoes in a shoe bag and put them on right before gym. Remember shoe bags?
6) FInally got around to ordering my checks for my new checking account. Check 'em out! Are those not me to a tee? I showed them to Alien, she thinks that the green one was designed with me in mind!
7) Speaking of Alien. I see on her myspace that she's *engaged*. When I asked her about it the other day she said she only puts *engaged* so that guys leave her alone. Riiiiiiiiiiight, and I believe that? NOT! Not the way she and her new beau act towards each other. Although I have to admit, he seems to be a nice guy. That he's 13 years older than she, I have a problem with.
8) Did I mention I'm geeked about the upcoming Star Trek Exhibit? I'll be driving Downtown with Alien and her whatever-he-is. Figure I'll try to get to know this guy better in a public environment ... and if the transporter happen to work ... I can beam his ass outta here until she's 18!
9) I am so taking a bath later. I need to relax! Cherry blossom scented body wash here I come. Thanks again Amy!! Would it sound really weird to say that I now think of you whenever I bathe? Ya ... that sounds wrong on so many levels!!
10) Damn. I was just about to put a load of laundry in. Now I have to wait ... someone (DIL?) just jumped in the shower. We have one of those safety valve things on the plumbing (per building code regulations) but it works for crap. We lose water pressure if more than one thing is using water at a time (washer, dishwasher, sink, toilet, etc). Had we left the original plumbing alone (not bringing it up to code) we could shower, flush and do laundry at the same time without effecting the water pressure or temperature. Sometimes it's best to just leave stuff alone. Don't tell the Code Cops that, though.
Granson can be bribed for a pringle? He's got a lot to learn! Lmao ok j/k honest lol.
ReplyDeleteAre you all ready for the exhibition? Got camera loaded, batteries charged etc?
13 years older? omg that's way too old, I'd be banning her from leaving the house ever again, bit hard when shes at her dads, doesn't he think that's a bit old???
Yeah ... that easy to bribe Grandson!! I hope he never outgrows it ... but then, his Daddy hasn't either. I can still get that boy to do just about anything with the promise of a meal. LOL!
ReplyDeleteReady for Exhibition. Just found out no cameras allowed. Drats. Oh well ... Single Son did get a few pics today (he went to the Pre-Opening Day private invitation only festivities). In fact, he was on the local news a few times today - in his Star Trek uniform. It was pretty cool to see him on the boob tube. Will blog more about that later tomorrow or Sunday after I've been to the Exhibition.
Yeah, 13 years older. I agree way too old ... however ... you know how that goes. You pitch a bitch and make matters worse. This is just what I feared would happen when she went to Bubba's house. He thinks it's normal (his step dad is 27 years older than his mother - his parents, by the way, happen to be third cousins). See what I'm up against?
Although I gotta say ... he's not a bad guy that I've seen. He's really stressing the importance for her to bring up her grades and to finish school and go on to college. I'm trying not to be too judgmental, he does treat her right and respects her. It's just this age thing I have problems with. Big time.
