Yes, Sunday, where the paper is large and full of good stuff, breakfast is out, and life gets a few things crossed off the list. Yes I have list - don't judge - it gets things done OK?
But let's go back a bit to how we came to embrace the lovely that is Sunday... all the way back to Friday. Now thankfully I didn't have to face Costco for the girl's group college kid home without job or something to occupy her time did it for me. Yeah I gave her a list. I had it ready go figure. But it took 2 phone calls and some settling up at the end of the meeting - and it was done. I can't tell you HOW nice that was!! Added to the fact that I worked later on Friday and going to Costco would have sucked rotten eggs times 12. Bubba did make it home, did mow the lawn, sent me for gas for said mower, and I, per usual, cleaned up the doggie mess... bonus - he's got that job for the next month... and he ain't going to be happy about it... deal Bubba.
We ended up at the Peruvian chicken place - packed and we were the whitest people in the place not only by our nature of computer nerd and accountant but this is a very popular place with folks who apparently grew up with this stuff. Can't blame them - good stuff. We dropped off the car, for the Saturday service, and mellowed out for the rest of the night.. what was left of it.
As an aside what large bat am I going to have to hit my darling Bubba with to get him to understand that meals must be eaten in a fairly timely manner and 9 hours between meals for me ain't gonna fly no more... perhaps passing out once will get the point across... maybe. No - he'll just be pissed he's had to pick up my fanny off the floor and blame me for not eating. Yeah plan B = eat when I have to and screw Bubba.
Back to our weekend tale...
Saturday thanks to Bubba and his early morning rising to beat the crowds at Burger King and the Gun Show he's up and out early - as such me and the pups are up and out early... which frankly worked out well - up moving, showered, dressed, made breakfast, make a list so I didn't forget anything, got stuff organized so when my ride came I was ready, and even had 30 minutes to sit and enjoy the peace. Ah.... then we got to the lodge and pop goes the Zen and I didn't sit down for 15 minutes until the meeting. And that meeting didn't have a whole lot of sitting either. ... thankfully there wasn't an initiation so it was a shorter meeting - made longer by the adult meeting before and after the meeting for the girls. Generally things went off without much of a hitch! No kids weren't perfect but they were all right for newbies in a big meeting so I will take that as a win!!
I sent kids and parents home while the other more important adults were in the back room - with no AC - still chattering away... it was down to me, one other adult, and the husbands of the very important adults and frankly the only people NOT anxious to get home - were in the meeting... seriously people it's called a conference call try it.
Bubba picked me up, we made it by 15 minutes to pick up the car, got that tended headed home, Bubba picked up Chinese for dinner - and made some great choices! We enjoyed, mellow and happy for a Saturday night...
Sunday - ah Sunday but bladder, dog's bladder and we' up early - then apparently I didn't turn off my alarm from Saturday and woke up Bubba. So up moving, showered, dressed, list and coupons in hand we do breakfast, review the list, make some changes, and away we go. Auto parts store Bubba is changing filters that the dealership recommended - they wanted $114 for the job - Bubba spent $25 and 15 minutes doing it... hummmmm
Made our way to Costco for protein drinks, found a few I got pork loin for dinner this week, and a big old bag of Crystal light... then after we left and were packing the car I remembered the lodge was out of paper towels... so Bubba went to get Auto parts (place 1 didn't have them) and I went back in for said paper products. That done, we met up at the car, loaded everything, headed to the vitamin store for clear liquid stuff for Thursday and then headed to the grocery store. That list is getting shorter and shorter every week.
That done, dropped off paper towels, and headed home and unloaded. Everything put away, laundry in the process of being done, kitchen is cleaned, and my list of stuff to get done today is darn near done. Golly.
On a final note last night I had a series of very strange dreams and they weren't happy. I hate not happy dreams, and I know they are about what I am about to do to myself on Friday. So stay tuned as the date looms closer they should be a great deal of fun to share... is coffee a clear liquid? I'll just stay up all night - after all I'll be sleeping most of Friday anyway.
Signing off from semi-mellow central.
Final Final note to Nana - when you drunk dial your daughter - use the cell phone so I don't miss it next time. And after Friday - bodily harm is fair game old woman. :-)
