An even weaker week

My weekly routine has become very humdrum. I know that's not exactly what you signed on for, but even in a life of opulance there must come some insignificance. Please hold back the tears! Not even a Bucca Bill night at Blanche since he's still on a "Daddy and Me" trip. Instead Hans was working the bar, and though he's very very easy on the eyes, he is as we say missing a couple of tools in the shed.

This week was filled with Ho-Hum errands and chores, so when I was invited to Prime restaurant as "Dizzy's" guest, you'd think I jump at the chance. RIGHT? Not so fast. See to accept the invitation, you need to verify that she brought her credit card, make sure the restaurant accepts it, and if the credit line is available. That's just too much work. "Dizzy" was taking Mother Mary to dinner for her birthday, with My Uncle Bill and Aunt Flo. So I "gratefully" declined but opted to join them for cocktails before hand. It was a gorgeous day for cocktails on the deck, and I arrived right on time to have Billy and Flo already outside. So I quickly ordered a cocktail and sprung for the tab, before others arrived. Yes, I have this down to a science!. I enjoyed a great chat with Bill and Flo, until "Dizzy", Mary and Jack in tow showed up. I stayed another 15 minutes watching "Dizzy" work on her tan. I walked with them to their table and then skiddadled. Actually tonight was the start of James' mini vacation so we had a nice private dinner planned. We even contemplated getting a table on the other side of the restaurant so we could watch the "Dance of the Dinner Check" play out, but chose otherwise.

I had gotten all my Miss Kitty chores out of the way earlier in the week and had watched Liam and Sean on Thursday, so my Friday was free. And what does James decide to do on his first day of vacation? You got it, go into work. He obviously has a difficult time with the English language, so here goes

va·ca·tion   /veɪˈkeɪʃən, və-/ Show Spelled[vey-key-shuhn, vuh-] Show IPA
–noun
1. a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; recess or holiday: Schoolchildren are on vacation now.

Now was that so hard? So I clean around the house, did wash, and packed for our trip to Cape May. We will be vacationing with Eileen and Sean, AKA Liams Parents, Sean Jr. and Liam. Okay I see your point, I'm traveling witht the kids I watch during the week, so maybe I'll brush up on the definition of vacation too. After packing, I got at least a draft of the blog done, while Sparky's sitter,Ophelia, hovers over my shoulder, attempting to get a first glance at the blog. But of course, when trying to save it, It once again disappears from the screen. After a few choice words that left Ophelia running for the guest bedroom, I leave a incomplete blog. Hemingway never had it so hard!

Well Tata for now, until my great diary on our trip to the Jersey shore is published.
