what an interesting day today turned out to be. got up, had a hissy-fit, bought a book case and spend most of the day moving furniture.
ok, wait… can i really just gloss over the hissy-fit? you know i can’t. who else would i be having a hissy-fit about but the lovely and multi-talented miss mar. many of you don’t know that i’m really not talking to mar do to the inability of her live-in family to treat me in a civilized manner. wow, that was very tacktful, wasn’t it? ok, back to the story.
so the three of us, mar, mom and i were SUPPOSED to go to the arts and wine festival in downtown los altos today. mar called at like 9 to say that boo was going to be with david today, thus she and tire man were headed to the arts and wine festival. hmm. my mom, in her infinate wisdom, said, that’s “fine, i really didn’t want to go anyway, i’m too tired for it anyway”. “we will meet you at the store at 11:30 am to pick up the book case.” now, my mother, the intelligent woman that she is, didn’t tell me that this was happening.
we arrive at the store, a bit early, i will say… mom does everything early. and then we started waiting. and waiting. and waiting. mar and tire man drive up 25 minutes late. raving about the cute stuff they just had to stop and look at / purchase at the last minute. i’m like, “what?” at that point i found out what had taken them so long, and i started getting angry. we loaded the truck with the new book case, and went to the house.
for the 15 minutes it took us to get home, i basically told my mother that she and mar were both manilipulators. i had wanted to go to said fair, and didn’t get to go because of mar, and the tire man factor. and that our plans always get changed last minute because of her, and i was sick and tired of it. i used the f*ck word a lot. i was then guilted into going to lunch with mar and tire man… bj’s, in cupertino. not my favorite place, but it makes mar and tire man happy. we all know how important that is.
after the hissy-fit and mar and tire man show, we went and bought paint for my room. the color is tadpole. it is beautiful. a light green, with a bit of grey in it. so pretty.
then, we moved the furniture in the living room. for those of you who haven’t been to my house, moving my entertainment center is not an easy feat. it is a monster of a piece of furniture. as is my television. the room looks incredible! i’ve been thinking i need to start using my digital camera more, now i know i do! i need to put a picture out here so you can see the new look!
it is incredible how moving furniture can make you feel so much better!
Look who’s talking…
