blogging can be chore...man

every morning i come to the computer and check my two work email accounts plus my home one. then i check out jobs online, even though i just signed a contract with my current employer. then i go watch the news, have a shower, take kid to school, then come back to the computer to see if any new mail has arrived since i last checked it. then i think to myself...shouldn't i write in my blog? shouldn't i tell people what is going on? then i am like, um only amanda reads my blog and maybe suresh on a really slow day at work. then i remembered that actually my blog is open to the public and maybe i have some adoring fans that are just sitting around with my blog stored in the favourites and keep wondering what has happened to me. has there been some sort of incident, they ponder? did her computer blow up? how could she have forgotten all about us?

gawd...i am about to do what i really hate doing...i am going to update you on all the things that have occurred since i last posted. its so lame and so boring. but then i will feel like i can go on...pick up where we left off so to speak.

here we go...in specific order:

1. went on the boat cruise thingy for denise's birthday. man, it was fun. eight of us, bad food, wind blowing through our hair, and a whole shit load of booze...five hundred dollars later. yikes. i remember getting really drunk and apparently there are pictures to prove it but they are being held as blackmail for later use.

2. mothers day. oh yes, i recall. we (darin, his mom, me, and my child) to the boathouse fancy mothers day brunch. $30 a head, shit service, cold food, and really just a table of four really annoying, complaining people. on the bright side, darin bought me a day at a spa so thats going to be cool if i can ever find time to book it. apparently its like 4 1/2 hours. massage, manicure, pedicure, facial and some sort of waxing.

3. darin told me he loved me. i mean, you are probably thinking so what. but this is a big milestone in our relationship. we have been off and on, as some of you know oh too well, for three years. this time on for a year (as of june 30). anyhow, its kinda weird and suffucating to know that we are a real honest to goodness together forever couple now. be careful what you wish for.

4. my gramma died. last wednesday. i really like her. i mean, you know, not to just get her riches (which she had none) but really she was a funny, crazy, mean/nice, sour/sweet lady. i think i am kinda like her. there are so many memories of her that i dont even think i could pick a favourite. so the funeral was this tuesday and my dad cried. and i have never seen my dad cry so it was kinda unnerving in a way.

so that brings us up to date and back to reality. today i told said child and her friend to see over the hedge. it was kinda lame and kinda funny. definately a rental. tomorrow we are going to see a parade. a real honest to goodness parade.

oh, one last thing, my neice 3 1/2 years old keeps asking "what happened to gramma cora" and my brother keeps saying "shes in heaven" (which that alone would have my gma rolling over in...well i guess her urn...but anywho she didnt believe in the whole heaven/hell gossip but thats a whole other blog discussion). then today my neice says "do you think that heaven killed gramma cora." kids...they are crazy and not very smart either.

okay really last thing. i think i will end my blogs with a "kaida-ism" which is my neice's name. cuz damn, she makes me laugh. and plus, if you dont write this stuff down you forget the good stuff. soooo funny thing today:

kaida says: are you an adult?
me says: yes
kaida says: well i dont want to be one. i am going to be a butterfly, then a unicorn, then a mermaid.
me says: good luck.
