valentine's day dinner

although i knew i was going to hate valentine's,

since i was continuing my membership in

the lonely hearts club,

i decided to make valentine's special

for GGm and GGp

so after doing something monday

i got home about 10 til 4

i told them that i needed to go grocery shopping

so i got the shopping list

hurried through the store

[which is so out of character for me]

because i was supposed to pick up the pizza at 4:30

i had called it in so i wouldn't have to wait

so i get to the pizza shop and give them my name

can't find the pizza

they ask for my number and look again

can't find the pizza

so they say we'll get your right out

it took them ten minutes, after the ten minutes i stood in line

ugh!

so i rush home

only to find out that GGP had let GGm eat a big lunch

which when GGm eats a big lunch

she doesn't want anything for dinner

they told me they didn't want to eat til 6:45 anyways

so i rode up to my aunt's [SJ's mom] with DQ

to give some valentine's and then

drove back

we decided to get some dinner for me

since the plan was to leave GGp and GGm alone for dinner

we decided on Rumbi Island Grill

we called it in and i crossed my fingers that

this time my food would be ready

it was supposed to be ready at 6:16

it wasn't ready until 6:46

so i was very mad!

i had dinner to finish and i was keeping them waiting!

so i call them and ask them to heat up the oven

[did i mention the pizza is a u-bake pizza?]

i get home throw it in

make a salad

[iceberg lettuce, cause that's what they like,

carrots and celery-don't judge me, i was in a hurry]

i then set the table

pretty fancy, right?

i didn't want them to get up so i had plenty of salad

which they ate all of

and there were extra slices of pizza

i even had desert on the table too

heart shaped chocolate chop cookies

GGp was partially in on it

he knew a heart shaped pizza would be involved

but nothing else

so both of them were blown away

i lit the candles as i left

and they still can't stop talking about it

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

***UPDATE-rumbi has totally made up for my horrendous night. the manager called me on wednesday and apologized after corporate forwarded my email to him. and i have free meal vouchers. i'm still waiting on papa murphy's to call me back [feb. 23, 11]

sleeping in

I didn't have class tuesday

because it was an hour

for testing

and I wanted the whole day off

so lounging around the house did happen

I slept in to the respectable hour

of 10:40am

DQ came in to check on me

because GGm had said

"[mostly] must either

be sick or dead"

because back in their day

no one ever slept in

and I am a HUGE believer in sleeping in

GGm has also commented

on my almost daily mid-morning horizontal life pauses
(aka naps)

which are my favorite

where do you stand?

conversations, part b

GGm has been sick for at least a week,

she told the doctor 3 or 4 days

I think a week and half

finally we got her to agree
to allow us to take her
to her favorite "really good looking" doctor
(definitely her words not mine)

so after the doctor, on thursday,

i was driving, GGm in the front seat

and DQ in the back behind GGm

We had been talking and then DQ said

something meant for GGm and she hadn't heard it

so she turns to me and I say "not really" and she nods her head

then GGm starts talking about tons
of random stuff and then
said are you sure she wasn't talking to me

I once again said "not really"

she then said i don't know why people
say things that aren't important
i don't have the energy to listen to those things

DQ and I bust up laughing and

I swear GGm didn't hear any of it 

gas and glasses

car gas

not human gas

so we were taking my great grandparents to

the ophthalmologist yesterday and we needed gas

he asked my grama [who will be called DQ, for drama queen] to fill it up

and then asks for the receipt

when he see's that it was $35

he says

"$35! I won't use that all,

I'll be gone by then!"

and they say kids say the darnedest things

then at dinner last night

my great grampa [who we will call GGp, for Great Grandpa]

was telling my great grama [who we will call GGm, for Great Grama]

that the second set of lenses he had ordered couldn't not be canceled

because they had already been sent to the factory

i asked him why he would want to cancel them

and he said he wouldn't be around long enough to use them

it took all i had not to laugh
