Grandpa, Grandma??

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Step-daughter (SD) called me on Monday while I was at work.

Me: Hey you, how are you doing?
SD: Good I guess. You busy?
Me: I can be.
SD: Are you sitting down?
Me: Yah, what’s up?
(I was wondering if her grandma passed away or something bad happened to someone.)
SD: You are going to be a grandma.
Me: WHAT?? What the hell are you talking about? Are you serious? (Laughed)
SD: Serious. Found out just now.
Me: ‘k, tell me the whole scoop.

Apparently SD went for her annual physical and doc asked her when was her last period. Since she has not had her period for almost 12 months, the doc said she will do a pregnancy test. Doc said will call her with the results. As soon as she got home, doc called her and told her the results came back positive.

SD was freaking out – not sure how to tell her mom and dad. I told her she is an adult, they can’t tell you what to do and not to do. Her mom should not be pissed coz she was in the same boat before, and her dad, he will laugh and say his famous saying, “That’s what you guys need right now.” SD asked how to tell him. Will he get angry? What is the best time to call dad. Told her that her dad will not be angry. He will probably just kinda laugh and tease her and her BF. She said she felt like a big stone is sitting on her shoulders right now. Poor girl. I laughed at her, too.

The problem now is she has been drinking and smoking. What will happen to the fetus? She is worried and that is why she is freaking out. She said she want a f-king cigarette so bad but can’t and her BF wants a stiff drink but can’t either. They are both getting dry. BF had a DUI 2 weeks ago and was tased on his ass by the cop for trying to run away from getting a breath analyzer. License suspended and needs to go to court next month.

I will be seeing SD tomorrow and will find out what’s her outcome from her appointment with the Ob-Gyn. Gonna be interesting.

Both SD and BF kept calling us Grandpa, Grandma!! SD has not told her mom yet. Her mom is on vacation at Mexico. I will be interested to know if her mom will bitch at her. DB said she will.

Freaking Snow!!

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

It’s freaking snowing again. This snow fall is going to be worse than last week’s. Light snow right now and by tomorrow morning when it’s time for the morning commute, we will have around 4 inches. Sweet!! This band of snow storm will last till Friday night early Saturday. The worse will be tomorrow with wind gusts up to 30mph, and tomorrow is the night I will be going for my concert at the MN orchestra hall.

DB had the snow blower all ready. Told him to fire her up so that the neighbor across us will know we do have a snow blower. He came over to clear up the driveway twice. He thought we don’t have a snowblower. That was nice of him. With the coming snowfall of 10 inches, DB has to clear the snow off the roof since the roof of this house needs to be replaced so badly.

Will see how the roads are on Friday, might be a snow day!!! :-)

More Snow

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

We had about 6 to 7 inches of snow from yesterday through today.


I didn’t feel like doing shit today. Putzed around – watched stuff that DB recorded on the PVR while drinking my cuppa Folgers and then had my usual breakfast of oatmeal.

Head to the office and work on my paper and jacked with Slide.com with my Montana pictures and read my sis’ blog and had my music on. After 3 hours on my ass, came out and gave DB shit for nothing.

DB came out, we yakked and he looked out the front door (I didn’t pull the blinds up today – not in the mood). Low and behold, the driveway and walkway were plowed. The neighbours did snow-blow our driveway again.

DB was not happy at all. He said he feels obligated now. He was POed on his day off. He was actually getting ready to go out to blow the driveway. We were prepping our lunch and he was to take care of the driveway and patio and I was going out for my walk with the boys. We were in no hurry as it was still snowing and the snow is not going anywhere.

Got our chow in out I went for my walk/run with the boys. The temp was nice for me (28 degrees F). Most of the sidewalks were cleared up except for the main ones on the county roads.

When the boys and I got back, DB was working on the patio – sweating his butt off.

Marlboro Sweepstakes – Indy 500

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

I received the Marlboro sweepstakes entry to win a 4-day, 3-night VIP trip to the Indy 500 race during the Memorial weekend in May. Again, this sweepstakes is from Phillip Morris. I was debating if I should sign up for this sweepstakes. DB said I should go ahead and sign up for it.

Even though I quit smoking, I didn’t unsubscribe from Phillip Morris’ website. Why? Maybe I will go back to smoking again and receive coupons from PM for Marlboro Lights. I actually did light up again last year, but I quit two weeks ago. Again, I quit because DB told me had cravings for booze. SHIT!! Here I am picked up a cigi whenever I feel like having one, and he can’t crack a beer when he wants to have a brewsky. Made up my mind pretty much right away and cut down my smokes within a week and the following week, I completely snuffed out the last one and had not had one since. I still have a whole carton in the Monte and I have not touch them.

I signed up for the entry yesterday while I was at work. I was thinking what the heck. I can bring along DB on the 4-day, 3-night trip to Indianapolis for the ultimate racing experience which includes VIP suite tickets, garage and infield passes, Hot Lap ride on the speedway, airfare, hotel, meals and more which I assume gifts again!!! YES, YES!!!

I would prefer NASCAR over Formula One racing, however, beggars can’t be choosers. Hopefully, by March 30th, I will see the FedEx truck again.
