~ Perfect Sunday ~

Yes, you heard it right.  I went from shitty Saturday to perfect Sunday.  The morning started great as you may have read.  I showered and ran to the store.  I was still uncertain of what I'd make for dinner but as I walked the isles and fought through the mob of Sunday shoppers I decided I would do Italian and have stuffed shells.  I grabbed what I needed and headed out rather quickly.   While in the store the snow had started coming down again and there was a slight coating in the parking lot.  As I headed towards my car an elderly woman had slid and fallen.  I went to her side and helped her up.  Making sure she was ok and helping her wipe herself off.  She looked so frail.  Such white wrinkled skin, a touch of pink lipstick, shiny white hair tucked under a rain bonnet, and the bluest eyes.  Piercing blue but such a softness about them.  I swear I saw her kind sweet soul.  She thanked me a few times and I made sure she was ok.  Before I could walk away she looked me in the eye with a perfectly straight face and said, 'Thank you my dear, all I could think of was I'd have to yell,  help me I've fallen and I can't get up.'  We both cracked up.  I had tears immediately, from such a bad day to such a good one. I thanked her.  She grabbed my hand and thanked me again telling me she was not hurt.  I helped her to her car and I was on my way.  The whole drive home I giggled at what she said.  She was as quick as a whip, and I still can see those blue eyes.  I wondered if my Grandma would be like that.  She has been gone so long now I barely remember, but I bet she did have that sense of humor once upon a time.

 

Once in the house and groceries put in their place I started the sauce and mixed the meat for meatballs.  As I seasoned, browned and turned I remembered all the times I would yell for my son as I made them, 'you going to be my tester?'  He wasn't there and I had to go by instinct and smell.  When they were ready to go in the sauce I left one out to cool.  No, I tested it, I didn't wait for him.  I'm such a bitch!  The meatballs simmered in the sauce all afternoon.  The smell filled the house and made me so hungry I wanted to eat right then and there.  I settled for dipping a piece of bread.  YUM!  Now if 5 o'clock would just get here.  I messed around and waited patiently for them to arrive.  Patiently?  ROFL!  Yeah right, I was excited, ok and maybe a bit nervous.  Why?  Who knows, if I remember correctly she should be the one nervous. 

 

Well, she is perfect.  She is very pretty with blondish brown hair.  It's past her shoulders and she wore it perfectly straight.  She did say she does have a little curl but nothing like mine.  Dinner went without a hitch.  We sat and talked, giggled, and got to know each other.  Ohh, and Steve asked who tested the meatballs.  Told him it's someone else's job now I guess.  He looked a bit puzzled then told him it was me.  He gave me a smile with his gorgeous dimples.  She was a bit shy and a little quiet, but as the evening wore on she talked a bit more and more.  We talked about what she does and what she wants to do.  Get this.  She had a job interview on Wednesday to work at a graphic place.  Her Mom has worked there since she got out of high school.  OMG!  Well, you know where and what that lead to.  We chatted some more and had a nice time.  We ate dessert (cheesecake with cherry topping) in the living room as we all watched Titanic for the gazillionth time.  Great movie!!  We talked through it at times.  After a couple hours it was time for them to head out.  I fixed a 'to go' bowl of shells, sauce, meatballs, and some garlic bread.  I wonder if it will make it until tomorrow. 

 

What a difference 24 hours makes.  My weekend ended on a very high note.  I do thank you for your support and rest assured things will and have changed.  I did set up my PC to be password protected.  I had hoped it wouldn't come to that, but if you can't follow the rules you lose.  He will not be in the house when one of us is not here.  Though I am sure it will be a long time before he comes by when I'm home.  I know my sister understands and is in complete agreement.  I'm not sure if she has talked to him outside of my presencebut it doesn't matter at this point.  He knows he went over the line.  Lets just hope he doesn't stay away for a few days/weeks and then come back like nothing happened.  I will not change my mind on this issue.  His brother did call today and he was aware of what happened.  Apparently my sister told him.  He was pissed at his brother and couldn't get over the rudeness.  So I guess it wasn't me. 

 

Well, this turned a bit longer then I had anticipated, sorry if I bored you.  Just wanted to let you know how dinner went.  No pictures... I thought that rude.  LOL But I will get some come the wedding.  Can you believe it's only a few weeks away?  Time flies!!  Speaking of flying.. the weekend is over.  DAMN!!!!  I guess mine was 50/50... hopefully the week will just improve from here.  Wishing you all a good week too!

 

I'm calling it an early night.  The TV is beeping and a snow warning is crossing the screen.  It's been an emotional couple days and I just want to crawl under my thick comforter and drift off to dream land.  The January tag I made a while ago.  I figured I better use it before it's too late!  The others are some of the snags I worked on while I was fuming.  Nothing gothic this time, and I really like the way they came out.  A little bit of this, and that......   I think some softness comes through and some really good sayings.  Whatcha think?

 

Hugs
