Job - that movie did have an unexpected ending! Next weekend will be the Greek wedding movie. I suspect that one will be a little more predictable, but hopefully full of laughs.

The peeling is about done. All they said to do was moisturize a lot.

As far as trying to make me think he's have a wonderful time over there, it goes back and forth. He will sometimes talk about meeting his "impressive" friends or events he's attended as though he's having the time of his life. And then other times he will say he's just going to stay home, watch TV and go to bed early as if he wants me to think he's got nothing to do (or being a good boy, I suppose). I know he's lied about staying home in the past. I try not too dwell on it. Nothing I can do about it anyway.

It just gets a little old hearing him comment about his highfalutin friends as though I should be impressed by that. I do say that sounds like it was fun, hope you enjoyed and drop it. And when he tells me ahead of time that he's going to some affair or party, I usually just tell him I hope he has a pleasant time. (Then cringe inside ... wondering if I just wished him a pleasant evening with some OW.)

I find it sad that he has to boost his ego by bragging about who he knows, especially when he's been just as successful and has accomplished as much as most of them. I put the self-esteem issue squarely at his parents feet. But you're right, Job, he has to figure that out for himself. I will appear interested and validate when I can.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
