I normally hate summer. It's so... What's the word? Oh yeah, HOT! Heat and I don't get along well. So far there haven't been too many scorcher though and I am so far enjoying my summer.
I do have to drive summer school which is a pain because it's not my regular route and/or kids. It's all middle school and they are mostly from a large somewhat scary rep kinda school. Woohoo. Oh well, maybe I won't have to do it all month and even if I do, July is MINE.
Mom is engaged. His name is Charlie. He is an Indian. (He prefers that term to Native American because he says that applies to anyone born here.) He is about her age, was in the Army and was a truck driver for several years. He now works in admin at a hospital. He has decent taste in movies. He can hold an intelligent conversation. He has three grown daughters and two grandsons, all of whom I've met and they were all very nice. (and NORMAL - no freaky people that I could find) They are getting married.
Mom and Charlie and going away for the weekend at my request. I am having a party. Well, okay I'm having 2 or 3 of my bestest buds over. Kristyn is driving down from Stephenville.
Dance of Joy!! Kristyn's coming for a visit!! Dance of Joy!!
Sorry. Moving on, Karen's coming and maybe Myca.
So anyway, we're all just gonna hang out maybe play some games and there maybe booze of some kind involved. It's a girls' weekend to laugh and carry on. No men allowed. The only one that would come is Matt anyway and Kristyn's leaving him home with the puppy and the kitten. Haha for him.
PUPPY: Charlie went last weekend and got the last of his stuff from Amarillo where he lived up until a few months ago. Mom went with him. They came back with a mini chihuahua. She only weighs 4.3 pounds and she is 4 1/2 months old. It was Jamie's, Charlie's youngest, she named it Angel. Then she gave it to Heather, the middle child, who renamed her: Poopy Monster. Mom decided she didn't like either name and since this is still a puppy decided to rename her yet again. (poor baby) So the dog's name is now Lil' Bit. She answers to Lil' Bit and hey you. She is too cute for words.
The dog has taken up residence in my bed.
Weekend after this Mom is hosting a BBQ, or cookout, whatever it is we're going to grill stuff and have people over. We've invited everybody we know that we thought would possibly show up.
Well let me qualify that: we didn't invite the woman we'll call WWB.
WWB works with me and we've never been what you'd call friends. Before she even met me she met a friend who worked there before me. This friend has a gay pride bumper sticker. WWB assumed that because I was a friend of this person, I MUST be gay. She went around telling people that I shouldn't have been hired because "we shouldn't have 2 of them out here." Since I am in fact gay I never bothered to try to smooth things over.
Well, the last Friday of school she called me a fat cow to my face. (She later claimed that she was talking about another coworker who happens to also be a friend of mine.) Rather than explode I went to my car to calm down. WWB followed me to my car. She tried to apologize -by saying that she was talking about my friend not me. I told her that she should leave me alone and walked to my bus.
Again she followed me. That did it. The screaming match was on. I told her just exactly what I think of her and she did the same. I won. Don't try to out yell someone from a big family - you will lose.
That's all for now.
