DH is working out of town again. This is the fifth time in the last nine days. I'll be so glad when this busy time is finished for him.
Still no birthday present from him. I'm still dreaming of a new car, diamond encrusted jewelry, a never ending gift certificate for yarn, a laptop.....
The Five Year Old grandson will become The Six Year Old tomorrow. He's really into pirates but I couldn't find anything in Zellers that he doesn't already have so I bought him the next best thing, a parrot. It's a FurReal Friends put out by Hasbro. The thing stands 14 inches high and talks/squawks/plays music whenever you wave something over it's head. I kept shushing it in the store. By the time I'd paid for it I was muttering, "Oh for Pete's sack, stop!" After I got it in the car and was headed home I had resorted to, "SHUT THE F*** UP!" I can't tell you what I said as I was wrapping the bloody thing. I plan on giving The Six Year Old's mother the receipt in case the boy doesn't like it or if she finds it as annoying as I do.
I'm almost finished another baby blanket so I'd better get back to it.
