Random Weekend Thoughts

Went shopping with Sister, Mom, Cousin K and Cousin B for Sister's wedding dress. The two smaller shops we visited: could not be nicer. One of the larger shops we visited: pleasant although a touch crowded. The other large shop (Posey Patch, The Bridal Superstore) is one of Dante's circles of hell. First off, there are apparently 1,200 gowns in the store. 1,999 look remarkably similar. Secondly, after my Sister chose which gowns she wanted to try on, I was ready to help her get into and out of gowns, as I had done in every single shop prior. This this CUNT that worked there, all but shoved me out of the dressing room with 'This is a full service bridal shop and I provide full service.' Well, whoop de shit lady, what if my Sister doesn't want to show her tits to a complete stranger? What if Sister liked me helping her? What if you weren't such a bitch? Anyhoo, 35 minutes, 5 gowns and one irritable Bride to be later, we were out of there. Dear Posey Patch: Your customer service sucks and our consultant was a cuntsultant. kthxbai.

Yes, the whole family stayed with me, yes, I am tired. I have been thinking on this a lot lately, how my family seems to drain the life out of me while they are here. I truly think it is because I am not used to any amount of people in my house and while they are here, they have no responsibilities for the other people in their lives. So each has an opinion on what to do (now) and how to do it (now) and why we should do it (now). I try to sort all this out, making sure each gets what they want in some semblance of order and then I collapse. Thus, I get tired and nap after they leave.

Had Sakura's sushi last night. Oh Happy Day. I love Sakura. I love sushi. Lovely time.

Typical Sunday nonsense: laundry, sleep, laundry, sleep, read, out to eat.

Had Scholar's Inn Bakehouse for breakfast (yum) and Noble Roman's pizza (yum) for dinner.

Now getting ready for bed, still reading "The Know-It-All" and enjoying it.

Talked to Scully last week ... looks like I may see her next Wednesday night. Hope so!!!

Am in La Porte this weekend to hang with Dad, Stepmom and Grandmas. Reroofing Grandma's house -- I will serve as Chief Fetcher of Tools. It is my role and I relish it.

g'night.
