A little of this . . . a little of that

Alison, Robert and Summer went to Indianapolis to visit Colin; they are staying overnight. Cameron and Der Bingle and I are here holding down the fort. It is quieter, although my little dance at their departure was almost jolly.  The cat is pissed – she is with her not favorite people and I must keep reminding myself she was Mother’s cat.

We were going to have Jim’s Pizza as a special treat, but they are CLOSED for the holiday week. CLOSED!!!!! A local outfit, they are only open Thursday, Friday. Saturday and Sunday evenings for take-out during the year. CLOSED. So I went to Scott’s and grabbed up an eclectic mound of food – cole slaw, potato salad, cheddar and horseradish cheese, a shrimp ring, barbecue pork and barbecue beef, a cranberry salad, fancy little bread sticks and pomegranate juice. Later I had a turkey sandwich and two deviled eggs. I suppose this is boring, but I’m managing it because I am also watching a show on Atilla, Huns and Constantinople’s wall.

Cameron and Der Bingle are watching a Leslie Nielson movie and Cameron is laughing the patented Cameron giggle/chortle/guffaw. Loudly laughing it. Now earlier, he and I watched the 1931 movie “M”, made in Germany with Peter Lorre. I read the subtitles; he partly understood the German and read the subtitles also. And now he’s watching snicker humor . . . Oh, well.

One thought on “A little of this . . . a little of that”

  1. I hope the Christmas short temper was short lived. I enjoyed my Christmas but was SO ready for everyone to leave when they finally did. This is making me feel like a bad mother and grandmother. Is it allowed?

    Today was spent trying on “mother of the bride” dresses. I’m thinking nudity might be the route to go, it would be less painful in the long run I think.
