What seems like a month of torture of not knowing who is going to be your new boss . When you just wants some hope. A light at the end of the tunnel. And did the one you want get picked. It’s not that hard to send an email . Is it?
I love music, that might be an understatement . It brings people together, it’s a conversation starter, you can dance in ones arms to it, you can slip on your ballet shoes and feel free. It can make you happy . But it can’t also make you wish you were dead. However people this week have just killed me. One I have had to listen to George Strait . Yes I live in Texas. Yes they call him King George. No not everyone in Texas listens to country music. There is a time a place. But my office is not it and an old lady singing with it does not make it any better. Receiving thought they were funny and did send ear plugs. Not so sure I can get away with wearing them. Tempting. And then where was a wine maker thinking he would play Pink Floyd and try to explain the musician side of it. He’s not a musician. I think he thinks he is. But No.
Wednesday morning after a really late night. We had a hell of a storm come through at 4:30am I was sleeping so well. And 4 inches of rain fell. I’m not complaining. I love rain and a thunderstorm. I do not love hail and tornadoes. The wind blew and the rain poured and Toby was left at home that day. He wasn’t really happy about it. But he survived. He went to Grans the next day and all was well.
Derek also made his trip Wednesday evening home to find the girls took over the kitchen. They made pizza, they had wine, chips, grapes . I needed to a cake for a birthday. The house has been so full of life, and laughter I’m going miss it. They did leave my kitchen in a disaster. I was not thrilled , but it also wasn’t the end of the world .
Thursday I had dinner with the parents and grand parnets . And I wasn’t real excited about the restaurant. It started out Cork and Pig which was a great choice. I would have talked Jordan into sharing a pizza with me. Then it changed to Zero One Ale House. Which I usually will just get fish tacos and only eat the fish. Such a waste. But they had a crab cake, just one with a salad. That was not the best choice either. But the company was great. Grandpa is adorable. Grandma was cute. She’s a lucky girl. It was a evening of laughter.
Her parnet’s kept telling stories of things she has done. And here I was convinced she is perfect. Her grandpa was telling me how sad I’m going to be when she’s gone and Mom was over there. “I’m crying cause she’s back in my house! “ I was asked several times if I was going to go to El Paso to see her.. I reply same and I have for other pumpkins. If she asks me to come. I will come. I have to travel to Oxford , MS this fall for another child.
Friday night came to soon . Nobody ever says that ! The family and Derek and I headed to the C J ballroom to watch pinning. It didn’t last very long. She had her grandmother who is a nurse pin her. I had a fun cake made just because and she thought it was so cute. We took our yearly selfie . Saturday morning we got up and got ready . May in Texas is warm to say the least . This year there was a cold front it was 45 that morning I kid you not. I think we got up to 58. This is not normal . The ceremony lasted a hour and half . We ran out headed home I changed clothes and then headed to meet all of her family for lunch . Derek said he had things to do. Angry Cactus had the reservation and I have never had any luck there. Third time is a charm they say . Nope cold food. But the company was good .
Sunday morning Mom and Dad , Grandma and Grandpa came over and packed the pumpkin up . She said DO NOT CRY ! I will be back in a couple of weeks for a wedding. we can cry then . And I didn’t cry I went to Lowes . I hate that place I could have cried cause I was there.
Mothers day was not that exciting luckily my mama and Derek’s mom aren’t to wrapped up in it. So it was quiet. We just delivered one Wine and the other flowers . Called it good.
And guess what ? I got a new boss. Dr. John E. Klingemann was named the Dean of College of Arts and Humanities.
The campus will be quiet for a while and so will my house. So we shall see what takes place . Hopefully something to type about. Until next time darlings.
Infinite X’s & O’s
It's a Sweet Life
