April Fools Day

It's April 1st and my wonderful grandmother is celebrating her 86th birthday today. My mom and I took a cake and lunch over to my grandparents house. When we walked in I immediately saw 3 bouquets of flowers on the kitchen table and another one on the coffee table. My smart-a$$ grandfather pipes up and says it looks like somebody died.

After enjoying lunch and an amazing piece of cake I drifted off to sleep in my favorite lazy-boy. I swear there must be something in the air at my grandparents house that always makes you want to go to sleep. My mother says its the sense of security but I'm sure there is some sort of drug in the air.

While I was sleeping, my dad came over after he got off of work and two more bouqets of flowers were delivered. She also got a large handful of birthday cards, the mailman had to bring them in because the stack wouldn't fit in the mailbox.

I woke up about 4pm and realized that I had two hours to get to the rehersal dinner and my car was at my parents house. I took my dad's keys and drove home, fixed my makeup and drove 80mph all the way from "TheArmpitOfHell" to Corsicana.

The rehersal was entertaining, especially getting to see the preacher's expression when he was told that the rings weren't going to be on a ring bearer's pillow, but instead they were going to be on Deer Antlers. We then feasted on salad, garlic bread and chicken spaghetti and pound cake covered with strawberries and whipped cream.

I stayed until about 10pm attempting to help with the decorations, but since I was not as blessed in the creativity department as others, I decided to drive on home to "TheArmpitOfHell".

The end of a long day and just the beginning of a LONG weekend.
