Good Morning and happy Friday. My god, did I hurt two bottles of wine single handedly myself last night. I would like to say for a good reason but, drinking to lesson problems or a solution for something you wish not to face is never and not the correct response. But, I think I started out just having a glass of wine as I was cooking dinner. Then it catapulted into finished that bottle and then the second bottle was because the first bottle did not last?....Not real sure about that but, I am in no need of any wine for a while…holey smokes the keyboard is loud this morning! Let’s see, I really did not have a bad day at work. OH!!!! I know.. When I got home Jax was on the phone and in a heated conversation with a sales clerk for a cell phone place, NEXTEL for sure… and oh I so have a story about NEXTEL 411 (information) but first on with Jax mood that perhaps started it out. She was upset with the clerk because the clerk could not answer her question if they (the store) had in stock a phone charger for her previous cell phone which she was giving to her boy friend to use since his phone took a crap on him. I think in her words she meant it as his phone broke. The clerk said she would have to come down and bring the phone He could not tell by the model number Jax gave him. Jackie did not wish to drive down to Benton Harbor to be told they would have to order it. She stormed out of the house. Kids… Next was Jessica calling as Jax was leaving and crying (Jessica) because she had a flat tire! OH NO the end of the world is near!!!! Bonnie wanted no part of that phone conversation and handed the phone off to me, while she exited and went to go pay for Mandy’s Senior pictures…oh this is soooooooooo peyton place isn’t it… Ok so she leaves me for that venture. Jax is on her way to BH for the charger and Mandy is yet to arrive home from batting practice. OK….I think that was when the Bottle was uncorked! So I am on the phone with Jessica which perhaps might have been her first flat tire ever…She is 28, hell My first flat was when I was like 12 did not even have a car, I think I just was issued one, the flat tire.. I bet you I have had dozens if not more and I bet if I go to leave for lunch one or more tires will be flat… doesn’t just seem if you talk about something sure as…. Well sure as poopy (I just said poopy my word I am worse off then I thought) Ok it just seems that things happen for a reason… but anyway I somewhat comed her down gave her the proper instructions on tire changing from 1300 miles away… you would have though a person driving since she was 15 would have at least had 3 to 4 flats by now… Well the wine was just about gone when supper was about done. And oh yeah no one is home yet. …so dinner is like on hold…Then the troops arrive.. Jax first sputtering and muttering something I believe in a contrived Hindu cross Ornery language and then I hear the Garage door raise and this one is either Bonnie or Mandy and I think well one more and dinner is served… But, it’s Mandy and she had a good practice and was chipper as me, she goes to talk with Jax and Jax is still livid about the sales clerk’s stupidity and Oh second bottle uncorked.. I am watching out the window and awaiting a metor shower of some sort to take me away. When I see this female Cardinal playing Queen on the mountain about five hungrier then hell chickadees or finches or what have yous… and I think.. HEY!! Why in the hell do cardinals have that poofy hair thingy going on you know the pointed hairdo… I mean featherdo and the other birds just have smooth feathers (hair if you may) So I like as off in limbo land thinking of that Bonnie arrives and I yell dinner… Mandy comes down and says: “ in a whisper, whats up Jax’s butt” So as not to have Jax hear…. Bonnie walks in and First thing asks if Jessica is ok with her flat and if I handled that situation. You tired yet? I am… I just relived that whole evening in type! Now I know why Mandy is so much like me, we two are the free wheeling easy going two that do not like to rock the boat. So I now remember why I went through two bottles of Cabernet …. OH yeah the NEXTEL 411’rs That is the dial for information people, and they have this neat little saying prior to talking with anyone, Press 1 for English or stay on the line and an operator will be with you shortly. How about having ENGLISH!!!! The norm and all those that don’t speak it have to learn it, or learn to go to where they speak their language…OOOPS!!! Ok back on track , so this Hindu, slash Indian speaking sort of guy gets on the line…and I kid you not!!! This is what he said: “ Hello… De Spelling of De town (as in a question) is Dat Baloma? As in B? …I am like what in the hell! “No… It’s spelled Coloma C as in Cat!...” So he replies I have no Town with a listing of Baloma as in Beee “ I said Nooooooooo, C CAT.. Not B BAT Boy, BABE” The dude comes back in this Indian voice… “ The town is Babe?” I am going to die next time I get on with a foreign operator and I hear a Hindu, Indian accent I am going to ask for Something in India, or do you have directions to what was that company that have the huge mishap over there that killed about a billion of their people.. never mind that is sick.. but, why have Indian speaking operators trying to give numbers of places they have no freaking idea of….Oh my pass the wine!!!!!!!
Oh by the way have a great weekend….. Really I am better now…
A huge hug… and a pat
Marty
