Salad Anyone?2003-03-26 - 11:52 a.m. So yeah, last night didn't exactly happen as scheduled. Damn my anal-retentive ways... I found out Monday night that my little neice, Haley, was scheduled to go into the hospital this morning to have tubes put in her ears. I called up MW yesterday afternoon and asked him if he'd mind stopping by my sis' place for a little bit after dinner to visit. He had no problem with that, so now my evening alone with MW was going to include a trip to Krissy's. Not a huge deal. I knew we'd have to be home by 8 to see 24, plus Krissy has 2 cats, and MW's allergic, so we had a pretty good built-in reason not to stay long. I left work a little after 3 and made it home by 4. Went straight to the kitchen and put the sauce on to simmer, then I got busy cleaning. After that, I made the salad. Cam came in and started helping with the garlic bread, and before I knew it, we were done with everything, and I even had time to spare to start watching my soaps before MW showed up. MW got there around 5:30. We chatted for a couple minutes, and then the phone rang. It was Mike on his cell phone wanting to know what was for dinner. He and my mom were in the neighborhood and were going to stop over. Now first of all, I knew they were coming over to drop off a little gift they got me while they were in Atlanta, and secondly, I happen to know that Mike absolutely loves baked mostaciolli. I didn't really want company, but what the hell... They got there a few minutes later, and Cam reset the table for 5. Ate dinner (with mom smoking pretty much the whole time) and all was right with the world. Pretty much anyway. As we were clearing the table and putting away leftovers, I realized that my lovely fucking salad was still sitting in the fridge. Guess what Cam and I are having for dinner tonight... Mom and Mike (and Cam) took off for Krissy's a little before 7, and MW and I left (in our jammie pants) a little after that. We stayed for almost an hour then headed home for to watch 24. Watched 24, then MW left for home. The soon-to-be ex-wife was out for the evening, (again...) so the coast was clear for him to go home and spend some quality time with the chilluns. We were going to go out tonight and pick up desks that we bought a few weeks ago for all the kids (mine and his), but I got a call this morning from Cam's "therapist" who said she could fit me in tonight at 5 for a visit so she could find out what I want Cam to get out of "therapy", etc... Best laid plans... So anyhoo, I think the new plan is for MW to go pick up all three desks, and just drop Cam's off tomorrow night. We shall see how it goes. On a totally unrelated note... Guess what opens for the season this Friday! The drive-in!!! I can't wait. Hopefully, MW's soon-to-be ex will find it in her heart to stay home either Friday or Saturday so we can go one of the nights. Yeah, I'm not going to hold my breath. Hasta! Looking back...
