Today was long as well, but in the wanna-gnaw-off-your-leg-and-beat-someone-with-it sort of way.
Went shopping this afternoon with k, Nikki, and mother-in-law. Whaaaat an adventure. Nikki must stop and look at everything that might possibly be on sale or might possibly be of use in the next millenium. She also must buy lots of things even though she, just yesterday, had an argument with Guy about how they don't have money to buy stuff.
Mother-in-law likes to tell people what to buy. In fact, through some convoluted turn of events, K and I got birthday money from the parentals so we could spend it down here. Great. Mother-in-law decides that we want to buy clothes from TJMaxx with said money. How very gracious of her to relieve us of the burden of independent thought and opinion. And here I thought I might have to make some debilitating decision about how to spend fifty bucks. We went to TJMaxx, but were highly unimpressed. Most likely we'll be spending our money once we get back home and have been returned the full control of our brains.
This evening, I mentioned that I was thinking of starting to use a PDA. Father-in-law decides to show me his PDA. When I say "show" I mean more like give me the grand tour and tutorial. Thirty minutes after my off-handed comment I'm fully certified in PDA mechanics. Thanks Dad.
Grandpa didn't arrive tonight. The flights were canceled due to weather so this 90 year old man who is nearly deaf is stuck in Salt Lake City for the night. Father-in-law called to request that an agent help him find a hotel. Hopefully that is what is happening. We haven't heard from him yet.
On an amusing note I believe I now know what it sounds like when my mother-in-law has an orgasm. At least I'm guessing that's what happened each time she sneezed. It sounds something like, "Uh. Uh. Oh, oh, oh. Aaaah. A-choooo. OoooOoh." While I should have been highly disturbed, I found the entire production so comical that I had to stiffle my giggles.
