Here's Hoping For A Normal Week!

I need a dose of normal (cause I sure wasn't surrounded by any over the weekend!). 

So, here's a funny:  Last night, Jim went down to Clifton for dinner.  Fritz called at around 2 or 3 (last minute, as usual) and said he was going to cook dinner.  I wasn't thrilled considering I had a pot roast on and had planned a nice relaxing day/night with my hubby...I've barely seen him this past week.  Anyway, I sucked it up (okay, I pouted a little) and ate my scrumptious meal sans Jim.  Well, around 8PM, I'm in bed...cuddled up and reading my book and the phone rings.  I remember looking at the clock (8:05) and thinking, "Wow, Jim's already calling to say he's on his way home!"  Shows how stupid I am.  He was actually calling to say that Fritz didn't cook and they were all on their way to Dewey's for dinner.  Man oh man!  If you're wondering why I never go with Jim when he does things with his family...this is why.  This is how it is EVERY TIME!!! 

Anyway - that isn't the funny part.  So, Jim goes on to tell me:  Fritz had been giving Tina and her husband Tony the "tour" of the house (thrilling I'm sure) and Jim and John (Emily's husband) are stuck waiting on them (I believe Emily was co-tour director with Fritzy).  Jim and John get to talking and somehow it comes up about people being "self-absorbed".  John says to Jim something along the lines:  He and Emily were talking about how their daughter Katie is so self-absorbed.  And John looks at Jim and says something like, "Sort of like how you are."  And he was serious!!!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!  Maggie and I had JUST JUST had this same discussion regarding his family - particulary Emily.  My oh my! 

So  in other funny news, here are some funny comments from Diablo:
Taking a test in science:  "How am I supposed to take a test if I don't know all the answers!?!?!?!"

Here's a little exchange b/w the Devil and me:
Me:  Turn to page 15
Diablo: PAGE 15 DOESN'T EXIST!!!  (all caps because he was yelling)! 

Oh the little turd, I'm sure this week will be filled with more nutty Diabloisms!

K - well, it's raining cats and dogs...I may have to drive the back way...can't stand 71 in the rain...lots of puddles and hydroplaining.  Safe trip to mom and Richard today...later!
