I called the Princess and asked her why she didn't tell me that they (Brenda and kids included) were planning on coming over on Thursday. She told me she never told the Beast Thursday because Brenda planned on leaving to visit another friend here in Alabama on Thursday. She said that they were coming to visit today because the Beast promised to make some potato pancakes for them.
So that made me rush to neaten up my computer room since I knew that the kids (Chewlee and Gunner) would be in there, if nothing else. So you know what that means, don't you? You got it! I didn't get my closet packed away like I wanted. No, I am not deliberately finding excuses. I really and truly want to get this done.
Brenda, the Princess and the kids left just a little bit ago. From what Brenda said to me after we hugged was that she was leaving. I think she might actually be leaving tonight to go to her friends house. I think it's just an hour away so she just might.
The Beast came home from being out with several of his church friends this afternoon and jumped right into making a huge bowl of potato pancake mix. We all laughed with him, made jokes and talked about the time he made potato pancakes with the strongest onion fumes we ever encountered. We had to open all the doors and windows to try to get rid of them, all the while our eyes were tearing. I kid you not. I've never run across another onion that strong since, either. And I don't want to! LOL
The Princess and Brenda played a little joke on the Beast. He wanted some of the banana pudding they made. They told him that it turned out edible but not real good so they presented him with the tiniest storage bowl (snack size?) full of it. It held maybe 3 tablespoons full. He tried it and said they were full of it. He thought it tasted great! That's when they started laughing and the Princess went out to her car to get the REAL container for him. They had made a pact that, if he ate the small container-full and agreed with what they had been saying about it not being good, he wouldn't get the real container. If he liked it and told him he thought it was really good, then he would get the bigger container. They laughed a lot over it all because the deal was that he would get some of the banana pudding for making the potato pancakes. That tiny bit was NOT what the Beast expected. He was much, much happier with the larger container.
I got to play a lot with Gunner after dinner. The Beast, the Princess and Brenda played cards with Chewlee dividing her time watching them play and hiding on Gunner. She also grabbed him and tickled him, which was adorable. Gunner loved it. He sat in my lap for a bit, while we watched Bubble Guppies on TV. When I got into my recliner, he had to come up and sit with me. He loved it when I put the back down and he snuggled up to me. I just love his laugh!
Well, time to jump in the shower and get ready for bed. I'm tired. I have to go to the hospital on Saturday at 1pm for my CT scan and then I see my vascular doctor on Tuesday to get the good/bad news and see my scan for myself. Love you all. ***Hugs***
