slop. freezing rain. slush.
what's a girl to do while it's like this outside?
well... leave work at 4:30 with her boss and co-worker to go across the street to the saddle club lounge in the marriott and have a couple of beers and appys...
4 hours (and only 2 beers i swear! a lot of seltzers) later i was headed home.... there were hardly any cars on the road and the "wintery mix" had calmed down
was good yapping and doing the girl talk thing.
so i am home and as i stepped out of my car it began sleeting again. lovely. perfect timing! the couch is beckoning me.
i want to go to the salon tomorrow and get a tune-up... but that probably won't happen. debating on staying up here until sunday morning and then going down to the shore (party with 2nd cousins) or head down tomorrow and shop for their gifts there.
have i mentioned that i really don't want to go? i can't stand the one cousin's husband... and it's all about the "baby baby baby" (the kid is 4 or something. they send me photos of him all the time... the envelopes, besides having the photo in it, are usually filled with confetti that flies all around my apartment and i wind up cursing them instead of laughing at the poor attempt at "cutesy")
the other cousin (they are twins) just got engaged... to a schmuck who's been out of work about 3 of the 4 years they've been together...
flashback: they just started dating and he'd moved in with her after 3 weeks... my poppy just died and my mom asked me to call her to tell her the funeral arrangements...
the schmuck answers the phone. it's my first time dealing with him
i ask to speak to her.
he says: "who is this and whaddya want?"
me: "this is her cousin erin, i am calling to talk to her about my grandfather's funeral arrangements."
schmuck: "she ain't here"
me: "could you take a message please?"
ass-schmuck: "no. i'm watching t.v."
