Mutti Chronicles

…it was a cold and rainy vacation in Nova Scotia
…we came home to very hot and dry weather
…the guy at McDonald’s in Canada that wiped his nose on his arm and then served us our food
…the servers at a rest stop in Quebec who took way too long to serve our food
…we went deep sea fishing instead of whale watching, but we saw whales anyway
…Grandma was trying to kill me by feeding me butter, cake, gravy and things full of fat
…we had lots of water for showers
…Bailey was extremely well behaved
…the G’s don’t like dog hair
…we brought home a car full of Brier Island rocks
…the haddock at the French restaurant is still excellent (ok that one’s not odd)
…we made a heck of a pizza for dinner one night
…we went to a concert at the Brier Island church and the woman could actually sing
…but…there were only 20 people in the audience
…and my favorite…women at every rest stop in the United States …while in the bathroom the only thing they could talk about was how bad they had to go, when the last time they went was, the reason they had to go so bad, how good it would be after they went, how much would come out when they did go, and how long it would take ( no kidding really)

Mutti seriously needs to go back to work. Somewhere, anywhere. My old job will do for now or even a new job would be good. The reason I say this is because I’ve been to Walmart 3 times in the last week. Yes, I said 3 times. And you all know how much I despise Walmart. My problem with Walmart has always been that it’s just too big and it doesn’t really have the same atmosphere as the one shown in the commercials on TV. But since it’s soooo bleeping hot lately and Mutti’s car AC is broken, it’s just easier to go to one place for everything that I need rather than drive all over the place and get in and out of the car in the heat. Enough with Walmart already.
On a more interesting note, if you watched yesterday morning’s episode of Trading Spaces, one of the homeowners had the same furniture as our old stuff. Same color even. Very exciting. We special ordered it years ago, I never imagined anyone else would have the same thing. I didn’t see the whole episode, but when they did the reveal, it wasn’t there. So I guess Frank didn’t like it.

….why does the cat only like me when it’s really hot and humid? For the last few days he’s really enjoying rubbing all over me and sitting on my lap. Thus cat hair mixes with the sweat and sticks like glue.

….this could be possibly the worst vacation we’ve been on for awhile. The grandparents aren’t even in Nova Scotia yet and it’s possible they won’t be there. But that way we’ll have water. If we can figure out how to turn it on.

….I got nothin’ else….too hot…

….really it was. And now it’s nineteen years later. Happy Birthday to Aaron!

Once upon a time Mutti’s puppies were sleeping blissfully on the floor…snoring as a matter of fact…
See Mutti’s UPS man drive up…
See Mutti’s puppies’ ears perk up…
See Mutti’s UPS man look out the window of his truck before exiting…
See Mutti’s puppies’ eyes pop open…
See Mutti’s puppies’ heads pop up…
See Mutti’s UPS man leave his truck and run towards the garage door…
See Mutti’s puppies run to the window…too late…Mutti’s UPS man is in the garage…
See Mutti’s puppies run to the gararge door…too late
See them run back to the window…barking…bark, bark, bark!
See Mutti’s UPS man running back to his truck…
See Mutti’s puppies continue to bark until Mutti’s UPS man drives away…
Mutti thinks her UPS man is a wimpy guy…
See Mutti’s puppies go back to sleep…the excitement has left the area…
Mutti’s puppies are thinking “Oh well, maybe we’ll get him tomorrow…”

The End…Snore…!
