Aunt Ing is going to do something drastic - if her work life gets any more exciting... like nod off. The boss and the money people are stuck in the conference room - and they are welcome to it - but there is nothing going out the door - and they just pulled a deadline back a week - on the up side it will probably stay there as - if they push is back again it will be Christmas Day - and Aunt Ing does not work on Christmas day - it's a thing I have.
So - Bubba made it home last night - the hardest part of his day was getting from the airport to home- ah DC Traffic. Welcome home lumpkin - dinner is on the stove. And it was! I cooked, served, covered, inhaled (my dinner) and made it up to practice. Then choked like a baseball player at bat the night before a drug test... Now I will admit there were parts of that story that were still giving me trouble - but I had most of it. Until PITA lady kept trying to 'fix' me in the middle of my speech - I find that incredibly frustrating and it gets you out of the rhythm of your story... toward the end I snapped. "Tell me when I'm done - you're not helping" direct quote after I fumbled through my story. I was not happy. This morning standing in the shower - I did it darn near perfect. Friday she won't be able to do that and I'll fumble along all on my own.
And after I heard everyone else - I will be just fine.
Now on to stupidity of me! Practice last night, meeting Friday night, dinner Saturday in which I am cooking a 22 pound turkey - and a forgotten thing Thursday night. Screwed? you bet. Now I figure I had it solved when I planned to work at home again Friday - I was planning on finishing my day early at home anyway - why waste the gas? But then I looked at my calendar I have to be in the office Friday at 10 AM - so groovy. Up early get in leave right after the 10 AM thing, get home put the turkey in the oven and pray it's done by the time I have to leave for the meeting. That should work. If not I'm up REALLY early Saturday finishing that turkey. I can sleep in Sunday. Oh and did I mention I've got folks coming over Sunday for a meeting?
What the heck was I smoking when I did this? Really have to remember the word NO. Or quit this working crap-o-la. Well in my defense I forgot about Thursday night - so had I remembered I probably would have skipped Wednesday. I'm not a complete nut - well most days.
And the comment I got yesterday about puppies bothering a frozen turkey in the sink, I am spoiled, the hound is no worry as frozen has no smell - she's not that interested, the dog with springs? She didn't see it - it isn't moving, it doesn't smell like anything yet - also not interested. Now once that sucker is cooked - Aunt Ing will be careful, aware of completed turkey-counter location and practice my elbow bumping away doggies sniffs and licks. That is mostly an issue when attempting to get something in or out of the fridge.
Like they won't get a little taste when I carve that sucker up... and they know it. Wadda ya mean spoiled? No --my pampered pups? ;-) Beside - they aren't happy Bubba is home, and they have to sleep in their beds instead of mine...
Ok back to desk cleaning - I should be down to plywood soon.
