Hey, kids, I�m sitting at my desk with a picture of Genghis Jon open on my screen, playing the part of Rock and Roll God. I told him he could have been the Sassy magazine Cute Band Alert boy (if there were still a Sassy magazine, that is). What a nice boy, that Jon.
Today is my Friday again�such a nice thought! I�m starting to get used to the pace of my four-day weeks. At least, I�m not a maniac this afternoon. Well, no more than usual, anyway.
On my way into a weekend chock full of wedding planning. Yes, that�s right, folks, every day this weekend, I�m steeped in wedding stuff. Tomorrow, we meet with the florist. Saturday, I have my first dress fitting. Sunday, we meet with Carla to talk about the invitations. In between, Mom and I are having dinner with Kristy tonight, dinner with Doug (one of the guys from the gym and a good friend to my family�thank you, David, for bringing us Doug) on Friday and another stamp party on Sunday. Oh, and Mom and I are also planning to take a quick trip to Nana and Papa�s to bring some more stuff home on our way back from the florist. I expect that I�ll be very tired by the time Sunday night rolls around.
We need to go to the house because it needs to be empty by March 8th. That�s right, folks, the worst real estate agent in the world actually sold my grandparents� house. Finally. I think she�s shown it about six times in six months. And for that, she got the big commission? I just don�t get it.
Anyway, the new owners want to close on the 8th, so suddenly we have a deadline. Oh, and I didn�t mention the funniest part of the story. The house my grandfather built himself, my extremely old-school-catholic-slightly-repressed-and-more-than-a-little-prejudiced grandfather, has been purchased by lesbians. Yep, two women, living together, sharing a bed in my grandparents� old bedroom.
It makes me laugh.
My grandfather�s attitudes toward such things were something I loved him sort-of in spite of. I couldn�t change him, so I just avoided certain topics with him. But we know what he would have said to this new development. And none of it would have been good.
I�m going to try to post an update from my mom�s this weekend. It could happen. Right now, though, I need to go finish a conversation with a man about a sheep.
