It was a fairly quiet day today, albeit cold. To me it felt cold anyway. I think our high was just 68 degrees. Tomorrow's prediction is bright, sunny and warm. 80 degrees warm! Now THAT is MY kind of weather....LOL.
Today I got more gifts from my bff, Carol, for Mother's Day. I was totally shocked because it was two of my favorite things....Bailey's and Kahlua. Yep, each bottle is 750ml or about a quart (or thereabout). I would look it up but it's not that important. They are for ME!!! I broke out one of the sleek little glasses that came with the Bailey's that she sent me for Xmas and had myself some immediately. The bottle was already chilled because of the cold overnight weather so it was PERFECT. She has really come to know what puts a smile on my face.
I know I won't be getting anything more than a phone call from my kids. Mustachio was just off work for a non-work related dislocated shoulder and he's taken on Sheepie (with all her large expenses like adding her to his insurance, an increase in his rent because of her dog, the food, etc.). She is still only working part-time as a hostess at a local restaurant and hasn't started helping out with the increased expenses. So he really hasn't got any money to send me anything, although a nice card would have been welcome.
Marcus, of course, has a mortgage and all the expenses of a teenager that just got her driver's license a few months ago. She is still in school so she works only part-time at a local theatre in an upscale area of Nashville. I think they are still paying for his wife, Raven's, college loans (at least she has now graduated...it was a real dream of her's that she succeeded at so she is to be congratulated highly). Plus, SHE is the mother of his three wonderful kids and I know they will all be making a fuss over her on Sunday.
Buttmunch lives with a wonderful guy that treats her well and I am glad that she is finally happy. I don't know if she is working or not at this time. I haven't talked with her since she left her last job over scheduling problems that arose. But I DO know that I will hear from them.
I saw the Princess today. I was in my computer room, playing with the iPAD that the Beast gave me that will (sort-of) be mine for now. He said that he might have to use it if he has problems with his. His is a real tablet and has a nice large screen. She came in to say hi (and she scared me since I wasn't expecting her but only recognizing her voice kept me from jumping out of my skin....LOL). She came over after one of her classes that she is teaching at the gym to borrow a flash from the Beast (I think it was a flash but it was in a case so I am not sure. It could have been a meter).
The Princess and family are going to be at the campground this weekend. She said that Chewlee brought flowers home today and, when asked who the flowers were for, she told her mother, *They are for ME.* The Princess said that obviously Chewlee intends to surprise her with them on Sunday so she just said, *Oh..!* I think she told Chewlee that she needed to put the flowers in some water but that's something that I know Chewlee understands. She uses my water glass from the bathroom when she picks flowers for me when she's here. The glass is decorated and is about the right size for how short she picks them. She also even picks *other* things that are green to help fill in and make the flowers more decorative.
The Princess said that Chewlee wanted to come and spend the night with us but she told her *no* because she originally thought she was going to stop in tomorrow, which meant Chewlee would be here for Saturday night and the next day is Mother's Day. It's a long trip out to the campground so she said it would have to be for a different weekend. She was really trying to spare us both from a long round-trip.
I made a joke about having Chewlee here to show us how to use the iPAD's. The Princess said that she has a kind of limited knowledge since her's (Chewlee's) is allowed access only to a few sites. Ahh! Parental locks! However, I think she underestimates how smart Chewlee is and there is nothing that gives a kid more incentive than parental locks. Chewlee has a mind like a trap and intense curiosity. I'm sure she could teach me things I don't know.
I figured out a lot of things without having to go online and check the manual. It has a lot of the properties of an android, a Mac and even Blue Tooth. What *I* need is to remember (or else change) my passwords to my email accounts. *Sigh* Oh well. I'll tackle that problem tomorrow.
Good grief! I'm so sorry this turned out so long and I'll close and post this now. Love you all. ***Hugs***
