Feeling Rockin
Hearing Love Song by: Sara Barielles

Frantic Friday!

Death talk not over today.  Oh, how I wish it were.  Still, I suppose in some ways I shouldn't expect it to let up anytime soon.  Seriously!  I won't go into the other stuff like my cousin's mother in law or my other cousin's aunt, on her dad's side, but I will fill you in on Gram.

I found the information, for the most part, on her plan to be sprinkled over Voo's grave.  1200 for the permit and a bit for the cemetery and she's not happy.  She pointed out that the Kennedy's got to pour John Jr's ashes into the ocean but she's like,"I'm not important like that so just flush me down the toilet." 

Why does she feel compelled to put my mom through this?  I mean what are we to do here?  Pour her down the hopper while singing,"Nearer my God to Thee"?  Gimme a break.  My cousin whose aunt died actually got a laugh when I mentioned my genius plan of having her, her hubby, and our smoking relatives standing over Voo's grave while mom pours the ashes.  I was glad to make her smile.

Of course the day wasn't complete death talk.  There was poo.  Collin poo and Angel poo.  You know I miss Sasha very deeply but the fact remains I'd rather clean up after Angel, but not really, then clean up after Sasha.  As far as Collin goes mom told my cousin a joke today and it's pretty accurate!

How many people does it take to change Collin's diaper?

Three but we're one short

My sister went to work today because the kids in her class were supposed to go to the zoo.  Unfortunately, due to some messed up weather they didn't go.  It rained much of the day and mom bought Austin as well as picked him up.  For the pick up she brought Collin and myself along.  She also stopped at the school and picked up Tiff.

We stopped and got a snack before heading home and that's when the first Angel poop took place.  My bratty dog decided, after I took her out, to conduct her business on the floor in the hallway.  Thanks!  Luckily, mom cleaned that mess up and I took a nap until it was time to cook dinner. 

The spaghetti was disappointing. The pasta was clingy, greasy and I told my mom the switch has been made.  We're now the whole wheat pasta family because it's better and healthier! The garlic bread was okay.  Dinner was peaceful until mom came out and asked to watch the Red Sox game.

Can I just say I am proud of our home teams but sheesh!  Can she just get hooked during the play-offs?  I didn't need the repeats of the Coco Crisp/Tampa Bay brawl either nor did I have any real desire to sit through Manny shoving Ukie!  Give me a break!  You make money, you get endorsement and while you may not want to be role models guess what?  YOU ARE!  Grow up!  Be mature!

Around dinner time mom started making calls to find a second pair of uniform pants for Austin for t-ball.  Can I just ask but why do the sponsors pick white one's?  White pants when these little one's are sliding into second base?  C'mon!  How about gray?  How about a different colored shirt and blue pants?  Nope! White!

Mom found a pair in Austin's size at Olympia so upon Tiff, F.B.I.L. and Austin's return we left F.B.I.L. with Collin and drove to Dartmouth to pick up his pants.  After that we ran to Wally World to pick up some other stuff like a new glove for Austin. 

Tiff has decided not to put him on the all-star team because he needs more work so she's sending three children.  I'm a bit disappointed but oh,well!  While mom was roaming around electronics I stopped to pick up two things I needed and made a beeline for pets. 

I had no intension of buying Angel a new shirt but I couldn't resist!  The one's I found, admittedly, the selection was small, were so cute I had to get her at least one!  I found one that reads,"Bad to the Bone",not really suitable for her, a hoodie that reads,"This is what spoiled looks like!", Hmmm?!, a little pink one that reads,"Little princess" and a last one that reads,"My little cupcake". 

The little cupcake one is brown with pink trim.  Very cute.  Of course the miracle was they had her size!  Angel's put on some weight since her arrival. She's so spoiled now too.  Anyway, I'll take a picture of her in it tomorrow after Austin's game at 11.

Not much else planned for tomorrow.  No word from Dizzy today whose not leaving til next week but we did talk last night and we've decided to just remain pals.  It takes the pressure off us both as far as trying to devote time to each other.  I'm a bit disappointed but I don't want him to feel obligated to hang out with me or that he's into something committed simply because I'm insisting. 

We're just going to see what happens.  It's still nice to have a guy to talk to and all but the couple thing shouldn't happen straight out of the gate anyway.  I just want to see what he's really about before we progress. 

Sensible,right?

    I think that sounds like a good idea with you and Dizzy.  It just didn't (at this time) seem to be in the works!  Good luck in the future!  Was the spaghetti disappointing because of the white pasta, or was it over cooked??  How do you cook your noodles? (like drain, add olive oil, butter, or just rinse?)
