All of you, you guys, are the only thing that makes me smile anymore.Sure, it's pathetic, whatever. But I'm worried. How long can I continue without a life? I'm scared. Should I just jump ship now while I still have a little bit of myself left?
Well okay. We flew in a small plane to St. Louis. Very nice big leather seats. Tickets were free so you can't beat that. When we got to the St. Louis airport we found that the hotel we were staying in had no shuttle. So, we went to find a taxi and the guy said it would be at least $40.00. Hubby said, "Screw that." but he used more colorful language. So, we went to the guy in the taxi company booth and he said you need to take the Metro to the Convention Center stop. So, we went to the Metro got on. I felt afraid. There were some scary looking characters on there. Later hubby told me he was not scared. He said something like, do you think I would let anything happen? He IS a former boxer. So, then we got off at the stop the guy told us to. So then we're like, now what? Hubby had GPS and figured out what way we needed to go. We walked and we walked (with luggage) and we walked and it was FREEZING cold and I have Raynaud's and I had no gloves and my fingers were purple. I was not a happy camper. We finally got to our hotel. We went downstairs later to have a drink in the pub at the hotel and they were having a private party in there. I was kinda pissed. One of the workers went in and got us a Coke and Diet Coke and it was no charge so that helped. We had some time before the game and so I took a nice hot shower. We went to the Scott Trade Center where the game took place. OMG our seats were so high up!! And it was so steep. I felt like I was gonna fall because I have inner ear damage and my balance sucks. So anyway, the game started out okay but we lost in the end. We were upset about that cause we are hardcore Illinois fans. When we were walking back to our hotel some a#$wipe Missouri fan says to me, "What did you think of that game huh?" or something like that. I'm like, "Well that was nice." and then I got pissed and yelled, "Well how nice!" with a southern drawl and then I said, "Do you know what that means?" Well in case y'all don't know, it means "f$#% you!" He was like, "Aw come on don't be that way!" Ya see, it was bad enough we lost but some a-hole has to throw it in our faces? (I'm sorry if I have offended anyone.) So, we get back to the hotel and go to bed and hubby woke me up getting ready to go downstairs for coffee and a smoke, so I'm very tired. I will tell you one thing. We walked our tushes off. Definitely got our exercise. We took a shuttle to the Metro and got on that no problem and got off at the right terminal and the trip home was uneventful. Tomorrow we go to hubby's parents house for Christmas. So, here we are. I really need a nap. Hope I can sleep. Love yous!! Thanks for letting me vent.
Miz,- MIZ, I laughed through your whole story. I hope someday, when things are better, you'll be able to read it with the same love and effection and humor I have. "Hubby" is wonderful, YOU are wonderful! Everybody else don't matter. Thank you. Love you. But the next time you complain about being afraid when you have all the strength you have earned AND a boxer by your side(!!) I am gonna have to call you on it. With all my love, Ted.
I'm glad I could make you laugh and smile. :)) By the way, the taxi booth guy told us the wrong Metro stop. Thank you very much. I'm doing laundry now since we're leaving town again tomorrow. Kitties were okay except a flower pot with soil had crashed to the floor in the dining room. Hmm, wonder how that happened.
Miz, you are a hooligan inside! With a Boxer aside. You made me smile! I think your cats crashed the vase because you had dared leave them alone. Linda, yes!!!!! You are great and you don't know how much great you are.n You are the one who makes me feel ashamed of myself when I am not as sweet as you are. Lil' Tenn, we have icons of cats because our cats give us love and they make us smile. They have already taken possession of the world. (not only Bobbie's cat, all of them) A young lady of your age told me the most sensible thing I heard about them. She said "According to me, cats are aliens" Deef, welcome back! My mother does not use her po against me. She makes a mess with it because when she does it, she tries to hide it. In doing so, she spreads it everywhere. I'd rather she put it under the carpet. Of course, if she does it during the day, we manage to stop her; if she does it during the night and I don't hear her because I sleep, the following day the house is "so good to see". I had a telephone call from my mother's relatives tonight which left me exhausted because I was very cold with them, but I had to answer the phone anyway, and they told me things that made me realize they are universes apart from us and our life. They said: 1) we are going to spend Xmas together but we are not going to tell your mother because she could be sorry. (It was so huge that I did not know what to answer to that, so I just said "Of course she would be sorry") 2) my uncle's wife told me they never call because they are afraid to disturb my mother.(And I started to take my head between my hands and I tried not to bark). When I said: "You are not disturbing, she is so glad to hear your voice". she said "Maybe we should call more often" (but I must say that my uncle's wife is the nicest one in this nasty situation. The acquired relatives are better than the blood(y) relatives. And I received the telephone calls of my cousins, too, and all the calls were more or less similar. Don't they understand? (really?) Do they pretend they don't understand? And, anyway, why on earth do they call me? To appease their conscience, because they said my mother "Merry Christmas"? Ok good night: I am so excited, I don't have to work tonight, I can sleep!
Rossella, you are so right. It's the acquired relatives who are often better, nicer, and more appreciative. And, about my story about the Metro in St. Louis, I think you will understand this well because you watch shows like "Criminal Minds" and such. There was a young man standing in front of the sliding doors that opens at the stops on that side. He had that look on his face like, "I have a bomb on me." or guns or something. Maybe it was his eyes too. I was glad when he exited.
Yes, Criminal Minds have wasted my life because if one man in the street asks me: "What time is it?" I immediately spray him with pepper! Anyway, some adrenaline is not bad every now and then!
I think my relatives do what they do because they are coward. Which makes me sad is that we are talking about my mother's siblings, that she adores, and in the past she (and my father) have helped all these people with every drop of blood they have in their body!
Miz, anyway, this is not a good hour for posts. I receive most of them around 4 in the morning for me, which is after dinner time for most of you US. I am going to sleep now but if you will restart the computer in 2-3 hours you'll be flooded by posts! 'Night darling. Kiss on the nose on Sassy and Sandy
Hey Miz I have had my computer on all day. I am still upset by the ex sis in law thing it will pass but it has ruined this day...yes all my fault for getting upset I know. Lesson to me to remember never to intentionally hurt others again...
