Had a good weekend

Well, sort of.

You see, my grandma came to the mountains with us. Which isn't all that bad. It was nice to hang out with her, but unfortunately I do not consider her, or most any of my dad's family, family. They are just plain mean. Anyway, my grandma OMG, she just doesn't quit. I was fine with her, until Sunday. So, my grandma is my dad's mom, and then my mom's parents and my uncle drove to see us for the day. Well, as soon as they got there, my grandma went to her bedroom to call her boyfriend in san diego - yes, my grandma is in her late 70's and has a boyfriend and does everything she lectured us NOT to do when we were teens and even into college.

anyway, so she is on the phone with him for an hour or so and then I go upstairs to get something and she asks if I have a tv in my room - so i tell her yes. Then she asks if I have MSN or some goofy channel with a golf tourni on it with Tiger Woods - I tell her that I do not know the stations here (not my normal cable company offerings) and that I really don't pay attention to golf tournis b/c they don't really mean anything to me - and then she tells me "that's because you are not a golfer"

hmm....that was the end of my rope - dead silence as I sit there contemplating punching her or ignoring it. THen she digs her hole even further - 'I mean it is because you are not interested in golf" more uncomfy silence, and then finally "I mean the way that I am"

ok, glad that was over- Um, let's start fromt he beginning. 1 - golf would have NEVER EVER paid for me to go to college the way that softball did. That's why I didn't focus on it growing up - 2 - I LOVE golf. I play it whenever possible, but she has never seen me as a golfer, so that is just her being blind. 3 - I just got over cancer just in case you didn't notice - I haven't done ANY FREAKING ACTIVITY for 3 years. I went out and hit 117 on a hard mountain course and I think I did just fine TY.

But really, did you have to sit up there and watch golf and talk to your boyfriend the entire time that my mom's parents were there? You couldn't come down and visit and at least pretend that you like them? It was really sad and quite rude of her not to - and my mom's feelings were hurt bad.

But the funnies thing happened - my grandma is kind of like a teenager. So she asked my mom if we were going to put sunscreen on my daughter and a lot of it b/c it was sunny out. and my mom - he he he - said "I think that we know to do that" and my grandma yelled "well then I will just keep my mouth shut" and then took off - we giggled b/c she went walking towards the 4th of july parade and didn't know where she was going and OMG, she didn't talk to us the entire rest of the day.

lol - you just can't win with her. But then I return to find that our building had a fire outside it and it was by our unit and I want to ring the kids's neck who did it. More to follow on that subject after our HOA meeting on thursday. The HOA is a completely other post - one board member wants to put a claim into the insurance company (which we have already had 2 this year). So I responded back, this was an owner caused issue - I personally am completely against turning this into our insurance company. this will make for great discussion at our next meeting.

Huh...for not working and spending my time applying for jobs, I have been kinda stressed lately!
