Today's Events

It's late, I'm tired, but here's a quick play by play of my day:

8:30-I wake up because Ed's supposed to be over at 8:30 to start our day. He shows up at 10:30, and then has to write a list of all of our errands. I sit and read while he figures out where to go first, blah blah. I told him I had no plans, so it was up to him to figure out our day. By 11, he decides that we're going to the motorcycle show in DC. Great!

11:02-We get on our way and he realizes that he has no cash, and he has to find a bank. The reason he had no cash was because the bank was on the list of things to do, and since we (he he) scrapped the list, he forgot about the bank. I got money at the 7-11 and we were back on the road.

12:35-we're parked and going to the show. It was great! We both got tons of goodies from the show, and now I have some winter reading material and other assorted trips and things to think about until riding season strikes again.

3:45-We get to my parent's house to drop off my sister's gifts for Christmas. She's there, so we talk to her for a bit, play with her new puppy, Costanza, and she checks my teeth for cavities since I never go to the dentist. She's a dentist in NYC. My teeth check out fine, but she said I might want to consider a retainer for the two teeth that are getting a gap, and she also tells me to 'have my peg lateral fixed for the love of God!' For those that don't know, a peg lateral is a pointy canine tooth. It's common in India-Indian people. I don't know where it came from, but I have one. She likes the gift that I gave her (the portable DVD, a scarf that I meant to give her two Christmas' ago, and had in my closet until this year, and a case for the dvd player). What did I get? Two pairs of flannel nightclothes. It's cool, I asked for it, so I can't complain right? Well, not a minute after I receive my gift, she tells me that her husband started working for this company as Senior Accountant two weeks ago, and the company just sold 25 million dollars worth of their heart monitor type machines. The best part-he's getting $160,000 as a bonus. I guess it's some sort of profit sharing deal, but 160,000 dollars, and all I get are two freaking pairs of nightclothes???? Lord and Jesus have mercy on my soul. Talk about cheap. When I heard this, I wanted to say. Oh, since I don't have 1 portable dvd player, or a fashionable scarf and leather case for the DVD player, maybe I should take those back and call them my own, since I'm a broke mother-f'er, and could use a nice gift. But..I didn't. I just said 'thanks, gotta run. Football's on.'

5:30-We go to Ed's brother's house to watch football and all is hunky dory. The Steelers won in overtime (ugh!), and the Falcons were tearing it at halftime when we left. So now I will go sleep with tissue plugs in my nose (ha! that's so nasty), and hope I have a good night's sleep. What a day.
