OK, all the Christmas shopping (not shooping) got done yesterday. Finally. Did the "Walk-the-Beagles-down-to-the-Coffee-house" thing this morning which is easy to do because it's an incredibly beautiful December day (it's supposed to get into the mid-80's by this afternoon).
Spending the day getting the house cleaned up for tomorrow. D13 comes over around 4:30 tomorrow afternoon for my 5-hour "window" with her for Christmas. However I managed to get my Brother, Niece and some friends to arrange their schedule around that.
I imagine today she starts her tour of all the different family Xmas deals she has to be dragged to (probably including OP's family). I catch myself actually laughing when I think about XW & that douchebag sitting first at XW's Dad & Grandparents, then to XW's Mom's with all her relatives. I visualize all those family members looking at them and putting on the "good face" but I've known those people for 10 years and I know that inside they are disgusted with her to an extent. It may not come out in the open now, but it will someday.
At the risk of sounding vengeful (when I actually kind of feel sorry for her), when the day comes that things fall apart and her family starts in with the "I-told-you-so's" that is when the hammer will drop. I hope she has someone to fall back on for support, because as of now...I don't think I'd have anything to offer.
On a lighter note, only 53 days until Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training!!! I can already smell the freshly cut grass, see the red, white and blue bunting around the stadium signifying another Opening Day, going off the plan for a day so I can have a Farmer John Dodger Dog, Gordon Biersch Garlic Fries and an ice-cold Miller Lite (or 2...or 3...maybe 4 if I'm not driving). Ahhhhhhhhhhh...
