Grrrrrrrrrrr.....Just grittin' my teeth....

My son's fiance's shower was suppose to have been today. But due to some health issues with the bride-to-be's mother, she decided to postpone it for a later date....probably a good idea. I have no idea how many people they had to make phone calls to. I don't get that involved with bridal showers. There was nobody I was inviting so I didn't have to make last minute phone calls.

And they also decided to postpone the wedding as well. I'm not too happy about the date, but then again I wasn't very happy with the original date either. See, there are three...3 main big weekends in Caseville where we spend most of our time basically from May to September. There's Memorial weekend because it's the first real big holiday summer weekend and Caseville always has a city-wide garage sale in town and through the township, basically all the way down M-25 to Port Austin. And I like to have a garage sale at that time at least every other year, and this was the year I was planning on having it. But they decided to have the wedding on Memorial weekend. Fine....I don't have to have the sale...I can wait until next year....I can miss Memorial weekend in Caseville....no big deal....WHATEVER.

So I adjusted to that fact. I bought a nice lavendar springy color dress with long sleeves to wear cause you just can't depend on the weather in May. We've had beautiful warm Memorial weekends and we've also been chilled to the bone. I joined a new gym on a 3-month membership so I can lose a few pounds so the dress will fit more comfortably. Trying to stay away from burgers, fries and beer for a couple months. So I'm thinking that it will be nice to have the wedding the end of May and then I can relax and enjoy the summer and party and drink beer and eat lots of grilled burgers!

Okay....so now they decide to postpone the wedding.

The other two big huge weekends in Caseville are during the mega-huge-biggest damn festival in Michigan called "CHEESEBURGER IN CASEVILLE"!!! It's a 10-day event covering two weekends....probably 100,000 people come into Caseville at one time or another for it. This year is the 13th year and I've never missed a year since the first one. The first few festivals were held for only 4 days but it got so big with so many people that they extended it to 10 days so it would cover two weekends.

And I like to get up there that week before it starts and get down all my Cheeseburger decorations and get my place, inside and out, all decorated with my palm trees and monkeys and flamingoes, etc. And I get out my silly hats and beads, and by the time the first concert starts that Friday night, I'm all excited for the upcoming 10 days of PARTYING!

Well, the wedding is now being planned for the first weekend of the CHEESEBURGER FESTIVAL!

Of course, there were other weekends, but she didn't want to mess up her girlfriend's vacation plans.....or her daughter's vacation plans.....or her parent's plans for the Downriver Cruise they always attend....

...and they didn't want to have it during Fourth of July weekend or Labor Day weekend. I had suggested Labor Day weekend cause the summer is basically over anyway and I'm thinking.."Memorial weekend, Monday off for everybody".."Labor Day weekend, Monday off for everybody"...what's the diff?? See, they want to have the wedding on a Sunday to get a cheaper rate. But for some reason the 4th and Labor Day weekends are not an option.

So basically the only other two weekends to choose from would be the Telegraph Car Cruise that WE and members of OUR family like to enjoy.....or OUR Cheeseburger vacation weekend in Caseville...

So now I'll have to diet allllllllllllllllllll fucking summer...no partying, no beer, no burgers and fries.....no wine coolers.......no margaritas....no long island iced teas.........

I'll have to eat salads and eggs and cottage cheese. I wonder what cottage cheese taste like on the grill???? I'll have to eat rice cakes....and yogurt....(sniff-sniff).....

...and it'll probably be 95 degrees and I'll be dying in my long sleeve dress that I already bought....Maybe I'll wear my Cheeseburger hat....

Hell, they've both been married before....why don't they just go to VEGAS!? Send me a postcard.....I can read it while I'm sipping on my margarita sitting at the pool.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

An exerpt from my facebook post to save time:

...."Jerry and I had a super fun time up at the AOH club....the Irish dancers were fun to watch...and the musicians playing Irish songs was so freakin' great....and I had Irish Stew and Jerry had ??french fries??...wtf??....whatever...he's Polish, so what does he know?????....he feels lost when there's no sausages...I told him to eat a hot dog , but he settled on French Fries."....
_____________________________________________


The AOH is an Irish club near us...the Ancient Order of Hibernians. It's a really nice club that really likes to PARTY!!....and I'm always up for a party...that's for sure. But I have to work tomorrow, so gotta cut my partying short tonight.

So I wore my Lucky Irish t-shirt....




and my green jacket and lots of green beads and Irish buttons.

Hubby wore his Irish sweater and the hat I bought him for Xmas with some green feathery stuff stuck in the brim.

WOW....We looked Irish!!...

I wish I had taken my camera...I couldn't believe all the green in that room...unbelievable!!


Anyway, we had a good time.....time for bed...gotta work tomorrow...bummer!!

Ciao...

Damn Dust Bunnies...

It's that time of year when the sun comes through the windows in such a way in the morning that you can see all the dust on my tables in the living room....RATS!!...We rarely even use the living room and I tend to kinda forget about stuff like that. You know, stuff like HOUSEWORK....too many damn estate sales and sales going on everywhere. The only ones who do use the living room are my dogs, Mini Sue and Keno, and it's not like they would notice.

KENO: HEY MA!

ME: What do you want now Keno??

KENO: When the hell are you gonna get the dust off these tables?? Everytime I jump up on the table in front of the window to bark at 'Cider' when he runs by, I get my feet all dusty!

Yeah, right.....

And I don't remember the last time my hubby jumped up on the tables...

So now the jig is up. My lack of housekeeping skills is blaring at me every morning when I walk by the living room. So today I grabbed a dishtowel and quickly wiped away some of the dust before hubby gets up and sees it. Hell, he probably already has. Oh Well....

What does he DO all day when I'm not here???

Grab a dust cloth...grab the Pledge...do something besides working on those damn crossword puzzles!!!!

I gotta work today....so tomorrow for sure I'll get out the Pledge....

Then I'll watch Keno jump up on the table when 'Cider' runs by and watch him slide off!!...HAR-HAR-HAR....

You suck Mother Nature!

Dear Mother Nature...

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Hey, we're six days away from ST. PATRICK'S DAY, for God's sake! In only two more days they are having a St. Paddy's Day PARADE!! So why am I still looking at snow all over my car this morning?!!???

ARE YOU F*&@#$G SERIOUS????

Why are you being such a BITCH this winter??

GO AWAY!!!!

We don't want you here anymore in Michigan....you are not welcome anymore. The beautiful snowflakes falling at Christmas time is so DONE!!!! I don't want to even SEE another snowman in my life!!!!!!

Is Jack Frost with you?......Is he the one really responsible for this?? Well, you can tell him that if I find him, I'm cutting off his snowBALLS, and I have alot of help with me.

Cause I'm not the only one who feels this way.....

We want to see sunshine, and tulips...good lord, my poor tulips buds are struggling to even breathe under that blanket of snow crap you just dumped on them AGAIN....

Hell, I'll even take your crummy rain compared to this bullshit you're still dumping on us.

It's getting old....real old...been there, done that kinda thing. You know what I mean??

We are only NINE....count them, NINE!....days away from what you call Spring..

BRING IT ON....already

(please!)

Just working....

I know it's been a little while since I last posted anything, but there hasn't been much to post about.

I've been working a couple days a week and getting use to my new surroundings. Actually, I like my smaller office....it's all I need. I had complained to my boss about the radio/music blasting outside my office, so he must have said something...and now there is no music at all that I can hear. I'm sure that people there now think of me as the "bitch who hates music"....whatever. If I wanted to listen to music, I'd go to a bar.

Of course, down the hall from me is the kitchen/lounge area where there is a TV that sometimes gets a little loud. So I just turn the volume down and go back to my office. I'm now known as the "bitch who hates music AND TV".....

Sorry guys...I can't concentrate with distractions. I do more than just sit around talking on the phone and socializing. I actually do work. I am responsible for the tax returns of people. And there is no room for error when it comes to the IRS!

Maybe they'll find me a nice quiet office down in their basement...LOL
