"Does your father ever work?" my great aunt asked me yesterday morning. “He’s always going to ballgames and eating out every time I see him.”
Dad heard her ask me that as he was walking into the room and boy, was he pissed.
"She has never worked a day in her life!" dad growled to me in protest in the car on the drive home. "I pay for all her medicines and the upkeep on her house!"
I just stayed quiet and let dad vent.
Dad stopped by later that night so we could go get a hamburger together. He was still perturbed by what she said.
"And I thought your mother's family was crazy!!!"
Rabies Control stopped by the house yesterday as well. They wanted written proof that Caramel and Maggie had their rabies vaccinations. The fellow gave me an addressed envelope to send in copies of the paperwork. Just one more bit of busy work to do this morning before I can go to bed.
The Republic of Moolah…
Jim and I got in a good natured argument at work last night on his lunch break. Jim said America was a democracy. I argued that we were a constitutional republic and that there was a very big difference. He told me I was splitting hairs. I was right though or I pretty vehemently thought I was right. I didn’t back down from my argument.
The rest of the night was pretty slow. I was glad to be back at work after a weekend off. I have my eyes on a few more techo-toys I want to buy next. I am definitely getting a new iPhone 4 when they begin using Verizon as a cellular provider as well. The competition has got to be good for the consumer.
Monday’s Are One of the Best Days…
“What do you want for grocery day?” mom just asked me over the phone.
“Try two different cereals,” I told her. “I am not picky.”
“What else?” mom asked.
“Get me some Vienna sausages as well,” I replied.
“I don’t see how you and your father eat those things,” mom told me in disgust. “They are made of the things in a pig that no one wants to eat!”
I laughed good heartedly and told mom I loved them.
“Do you still want your 4 quarts of ice cream?” mom asked.
“Of course,” I replied. “I can’t wait to have a bowl of ice cream as soon as you leave!”
I would hate to get on the scales and weigh myself these days. I would probably faint in shock. At least, my clothes are still fitting me fine.

Cool to post from your IPAD!
I love reading about your life. Newsy and nice.
I must agree with your mom about the Vienna sausage and add potted meat to that as well. Barf.
I think you are right, America is a constitutional republic.
How did you dad take Auburn losing their big games?
I think your father has earned his days of going to ballgames and the like. I think it is great that he has the time and money to do things he really enjoys as he gets older.
