I'm sorry that the visit with Niki wasn't what you had hoped for. I know how excited you were to have her with you.
The cauliflower mash and asparagus was very very yummy. I didn't end up eating anything else because I am so full. I did sample the cocoa ricotta and that is sooooo very tasty. I will have more when I am not stuffed.
DH's brother and another friend are over and shooting pool. Relaxed day. There is a mountain of dishes in the kitchen I am ignoring. I was up way too late last night so I had to take a 3 hour nap mid day. That is a very rare occurrence for me. Now back to work for me.
Bonny I'm sorry about the the visit not going as well as you would like.
Bonny, I'm so sorry things didn't go as well as you had wished.
I need another day of weekend.
Bonny, I'm sorry that the visit didn't go well for you.
Such a long day. Pretty much the minute everyone left TCG and I fell asleep on the couch.
I hope it wasn't as rough as anticipated, sj. At least it is behind you.
I was fine when I was cooking and prepping the food, but as soon as people arrived and all I needed to do was sit around and be social, I just hated it. And I felt bad about hating it. I was so relieved when everyone went home.
I'm sorry you hated it, sj, but please don't feel bad about not being in the right frame of mind to enjoy it. You've had a rotten week. You're allowed to hate it. I'm glad the cooking at least offered some solace.
Thanks everyone.
There is a lot of speculation swirling around about whether Niki's behavior was based on being old, being sick or just finally exhibiting the worst of her sisters' nastiness.
I'm actually quite good dealing with the first two, but the last one did me right in.
One of my almost-relatives said it best, and most sadly, "I'm sorry she stopped being the perfect mom for you."
I am so grateful for having her in my life that nothing she could say or do would ever taint that for me, so I can't complain. I just hope I never, ever see that in her again.
Not much to say, bonny. I wish this sort of thing were easy. But it just isn't.
You're sweet, Andi. Thanks.
Sorry to be such a downer. I thought not to mention it at all. To be honest, it's taken me this entire week to just get past it. I'm fine, of course, but you know.
Anyway, returning to your regularly scheduled program...
How'bout them Yankees?
