shame on you, you fool me once

So yesterday my mom and grandma left for Connecticut. My sister was getting an award for teacher of the year. It was 40bucks a ticket. Good thing I decided not to go, it would've been 80$ just for my mom and me.

I got to go to the neighbors' for dinner. It's been a long time since I did that. We had awesome chicken with gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce. It was a really good dinner. And it was fun to hang out with them. Roy the Chihuahua looks so much healthier too. He was a bundle of joy :) Joyce, the boys & I took him for a walk to the corner store. Many people stopped us along the way. Roy enjoyed it. Then later Lynn & I took him for another walk to the store. He's so funny b/c he practically ran the whole way. It was cute.

When I left them, Gail came over to spend the night. I got to see pictures of her niece's newborn twins. They're so small & cute even with all their preemie monitors and what-not. I also got to see pictures from Matt from his cabin in the woods in Seattle. He has such a tiny bunk.

By 3o'clock today I still hadn't heard from my mom and Jeff & Gail kept calling to see if they had gotten back. Gail called like 5 times. So I finally called my mom's cell. She said they'd be home around 5pm. Apparently they stopped to do some shopping. They got me something but I don't know what. Mom didn't call while she was gone b/c she didn't think she needed to. When she's going on a four hour trip I expect her to call at least when she gets there to say they made it alright. Also they've been known to catch a car on fire on their way home, stranded somewhere in Connecticut. So basically they should have called at some point.

But now I know the approximate time they should be home. And I think we're having left over chinese food for dinner which sounds really appealing at the moment ;)

So that is all from this neck of the woods for now. Talk later.
