Happy birthday Monnie
I would be all enthusiastic and all but I celebrated your birthday by having to rebuild the sheep pen that blew over last night, and am currently sort of whacked.
Julia, and by sort of, I mean totally.

I'm so proud of myself. I just upped my RAM from 1G to 4G. Went to the store and bought the RAM bits myself. Kinda sounds dirty, don't it? ;D

Three turkey day invites. Going to grandddaughter's house to welcome grandson back to the civilian world. Going to Bob's kids house for RSw/P and then to his sort-of-adopted kids' for dessert and much schmoozage.
What's everyone else's plans?

Three turkey day invites. Going to grandddaughter's house to welcome grandson back to the civilian world. Going to Bob's kids house for The Meal and then to his sort-of-adopted kids' for dessert and much schmoozage. What's everyone else's plans? Paul's putting on the usual Ritual Sacrifice luncheon on Friday, so we'll be cleaning and cooking and stuff tomorrow. I'm waiting for the next disaster. Useless BiL and Ratbag are supposed to be driving up to get Aged Mum and her caregiver-of-the-day and bringing them to RSWP. We said if they could fetch her down, we'd get her back home again. I figure there are several possible scenarios for disaster, the worst being that either Ratbag and Useless decide not to come after all and don't bother to tell anyone, leaving Aged Mum sitting there waiting for her ride, or that they show up to lunch (probably late, and having stopped for a meal on the way) without her, having decided that they just can't manage to drive that far , and not called Aged Mum to let her know she's stranded. In either case, guess who'd be to blame, and who'd be expected to pick up the pieces. Hint: It's be none of the above named. I reminded Aged Mum on Monday, and yesterday, and I will remind her again today that she needs to call and make sure they're actually going to pick her up on Friday. She'll find some compelling reason not to call them, I'm sure, and she'll ask me to do it and call her back, and call them back, and call her back, and I'll say no, and that, as usual, makes me the villain. Of course, if her caregivers had cars she could get into instead of wonky old SUVs or vans, or if she'd even consider renting a car for the day from the local Enterprise (and there is one local to her), things would be a bit easier, but that's out of the question, for various unexplainable but compelling reasons. So that's what I'll be doing tomorrow and this weekend, plus if the Aged Mum transport falls through, driving up there with a package of leftovers. I hate this time of year.

I think that next year you and yours ought to tell Useless and Ratbag that THEY are hosting Ritual Sacrifice (with pie) and you will only pick up the AP. Then show up on their doorstep, AP in tow and expect a meal.

Having people over, the girls will be with me of T-day, so I am happy about that. Lots of work to do today! LOTS! I have to the littler sis to school here in a second - then I unfortunately have a working 2 hr lunch to go to . . . then I have to bust my butt the rest of the day to get ready for T-day. But I think T-day will be fun. If I get enough time, I'm going to rewatch Pangs!What was your fave part of Pangs? I love so many of the scenes.

Then show up on their doorstep, AP in tow and expect a meal. I'd do it, but Husband is the one who insists on putting on and hosting RSWP every year, so it has to be at our place. We considered moving the event to Aged Mum's, but the timing wouldn't work, not to mention that her kitchen is very small. Come to think of it, I've never been invited to Ratbag and Useless' home, not in all the years they've lived there. As far as I know, nobody but The Husband has been there, and that only because he helped them move (I was busy with small children at the time and couldn't help, not that I didn't get guilt-tripped about that too). Why do we still invite them, you ask? Well, BiL is one of Husband's oldest friends, and Ratbag is the family darling...

What I should have said in the first place is that I'm very glad you have such nice people to hang out with, especially your Bob, who is a gem.
