Mutti Chronicles

So last night we went to the Nationwide holiday party. Yes I know, Christmas was what … 4 weeks ago? The DJ just happened to be the notorious Brian (whatever his last name is) from the wedding. And the caterer just happened to be the same one we used for the rehearsal dinner. Too weird! The food was not as good as we had. But they did have to drive it there in freezing weather. Brian was pretty funny and he’s a pretty good magician. Mostly card tricks and folding up money and setting it on fire . I talked to him ahead of time and he said he recognized us and remembered the wedding. But the oddest part was when we were leaving a lady was blocking the door and asked us to wait a minute. She mumbled something unrecognizable and then let us go through. But there was nothin’ going on on the other side of the door. So I don’t know what that was all about.

I dreamed later that she had farted on the other side of the door and didn’t want us to go through til it had dissipated.

10 Good Things about North Carolina…..

1. It’s warmer there.
2. It hardly ever snows there.
3. They have occasional hurricanes. (Possibly not a good thing)
4. They do not have Eastbay.
5. It’s close to the ocean.
6. Every building has air conditioning.
7. It’s only a couple of hours to Washington DC and mountains.
8. People there sit on the porch and drink mint juleps. (Maybe they only do that in my fantasies)
9. The Andy Griffith show took place there. (OK…That’s stretching it)
10. It’s warmer there.

Ok…so they had a few inches of snow today…pileups everywhere…they don’t know how to handle it.

Plus …you get to say words like “y’all ” and “chitlins”…

This is the way my employer does business. Customer places order. Customer’s order goes through long overly drawn- out internal process of credit card authorization. Customer is notified the order might be shipped within the next 24-48 hours. The order goes to the warehouse where the crack shipping team may or may not send out the correct product. Maybe 7 or 8 days later the customer may or may not end up with the correct product. Meanwhile, my customer service line is ringing off the hook with customer complaints about length of processing time, length of shipping times, and not getting the right product.
Ok. This is Them. Them being a certain company I placed an order with for a certain someone for Christmas. I place the order online at 4:00 pm on Wednesday. Less than an hour later I get an e-mail saying my order has been shipped. Along with a tracking number. Voila! Friday morning I receive said order. I ask you…which company would you rather do business with?
And you ask yourself why does she continue to work there?…. I think it’s just because I feel sorry for them. Either that or I’m just a complete masocist

So I dreamed last night that son #2 got married. I was at the church, but maybe it wasn’t a church it might have been a hotel ballroom. And I suddenly remembered I didn’t bring my dress along. But it was the same dress I wore at son #1’s wedding. Except of course the dress was across town. at some other place. I decided to run cross country to go get it. When I got to the place where the dress was, all of the wedding guests where still there. I told them they better hurry up and get to the wedding. I took a shortcut back to the church/ballroom which went along an ocean shoreline. At one point as I was running along the shoreline, I had to jump over a space between the rocks . Of course I missed and landed in the water. Huge waves kept crashing over me and I finally got to the church/ballroom soaking wet. When I got there I remembered that I had forgotten to get the dress dry cleaned and it smelled like perspiration. I thought I had time to go get it cleaned but I figured I should ask someone to drive me. But why didn’t I just ask someone to drive me to begin with? At that point, I woke up. On TV 2 dogs were getting married on Providence. Yeah, okay, that was too weird!

Especially disgusting- looking , blood-sucking bugs! Someone remind me again why I have all these dogs . Ok, just 2. Caesar had disgusting diahrea all weekend. Which means going outside 3 nights in a row at about 4 am. And I just found a gross blood-filled tick on Bailey.That in itself isn’t so bad until you have to pull it off. But at least the Red Sox won last night!
