Tuesday was a day of recovery from a Bucca Boy Night, and a needed rest up for the Liam Storm. I had babysitting duties on Wednesday and Thursday. With James out of town, I had time to catch up on my Pogo Games, My Kindle reading and of course anything resembling useless.
Wednesday, I picked up Liam and headed off to find something to do. I was void of ideas, so I went to pick up my other nephews RJ and Chris. But alas the poor saps were still taking their finals in school, so I was at a loss what to do. We ended up at the Broadway Mall in Hicksville where we dined on the fine cuisine of McDonalds and headed in for the 12:30 showing of Toy Story 3. There have been numerous postings on Facebook and even an article in Time magazine how this movie has brought grown men to tears. What happened to the good old days, when men kept their feelings bottled up inside and developed ulcers. The pendulum has swung in the opposite direction and guys are announcing "I Cried". Come on, We all got Misty eyed at the GE commercials and the coffee one where the soldier son returns home to make a pot of coffee for his mother, but we didn't take out ads declaring it! Well, the movie was wonderful and it has been 15 yrs. since the last movie and it feels like the toys never left us. Yet, I am sad to say, I left the movie dry-eyed.
Thursday was an early call day for my Manny duties. I got Liam before 10 and headed right off to shopping with Miss Kitty. We needed to hurry along because it was Mother Mary's birthday and Liam and I were treating her to IHop. You're Jealous I bet. Call me on your 73 birthday and I'll splurge! . We had an ex-nun as a waitress. I'm not really sure, but she continually told me to straighten up, looked completely bored with her job and whacked me on the knuckles with a ladle several times. Liam and I headed off to check on Sparky, so while I did bills, Liam watched a movie and covered my bed in Popcorn kernels. On our way home we were hit by a freak storm. It poured buckets of rain, but the sun was shining. I needed my sunglasses to drive. Liam was so amazed; "I've never seen this in my whole life" he said. After giggling at his 5 yrs. life experience, I told him I had never seen this before. Well the look I got was like " you've seen the parting of the Red Sea but never seen this before, Really?" Little bastard! Well I quickly dumped him off, where he turned himself in for his many misdeeds of the day, including swinging on my arm when I wasn't looking. It was like the 4th of July came early, So Many Stars!
Friday came and I made it a me day. I first needed to stop at Cha Cha's and turn on his sprinkler system. I was surprised at how green his grass was with no sprinklers till Cha Cha's neighbor informed me I had the wrong house. OOPS-A-Daisy! It seems the past owners didn't like the aesthetics of sprinklers, so they planted plants right on top of the heads. After digging the plants out and submerging myself in mud I asked Cha Cha for a dry shirt. He said he would look, but didn't think he anything my size. Like I need a Mu Mu, you 5 pound tramp. Well I squeezed into the shirt he gave me and headed for my hair appointment. Gina Marie is such a miracle worker, she cut my hair and found my natural blond hair color underneath (which will lighten further with exposure to the sun) No really this is my natural color. I then headed off for the chiropractor who would adjust my back after Liam used me for a Jungle "Jim". I had up to this point sedating myself every 4 hrs. and getting no sleep. Thank God Scott is a miracle worker too.
Well I titled it a weak week for a reason. So Tata for now!
