Wolf's Den

Let's see....

Watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, cheering on the Red Wings (obviously).

My mom called last weekend. Seems THAT WOMAN had called her up right before Mother's Day, once again wanting to get in contact with me. Something about how she found the letter I wrote her when I was 18, and I guess she thinks that after 31 years, she'd like to be a part of my life.

Well, sorry, but you tried this last year too. The answer is still the same- No. You weren't there for my formative years, Mom was. You are not my mom, Mom is. what Dan decides to do in regards to contact with you is his choice. But me? No. I want nothing to do with you.

I officially no longer work at the store. My old manager and somewhat friend who was keeping me on the books, even though I've not worked a day there since Sept? Oct? last year, no longer works there. We'll just call it a casualty of the economy and leave it at that.

While my gardens are going nuts with all the rain we've been getting, I'm thoroughly sick of it. The lettuce, leaf and mesclan, are trying to take over the raised bed out back. The rhubarb isn't happy though, I think it might be getting too much sun. Need to turn the crap out of my compost in the bin, ants are trying to take up residence.

My forays into the world of the Daring Bakers/Daring Cooks has been very fun and interesting. I've done quite a few new things I might otherwise not have tried on my own so far. Next Daring Cooks entry will be posted Sunday, so watch for it.

I have a number of food posts, non -DB/DC related, that I need to post. Yes, a few will make people hungry.

Took Mikayla and the SiL to the Science Museum today. It's free every 2nd Friday of the month. Next time, I'll take Excedrin first. And the Planetarium? Made me have vertigo, big time. Ugh. Of course, I paid for the parking, and I bought lunch, as all the SiL had was a credit card. Add that to the cellphone drama when I tolf her I couldn't give her the June payment early as I had *this much* for the entire week until payday again. At least Mikayla thanked me for lunch.

Decided that by the end of the year, I will be giving the SiL back the cellphone I have that's on her family plan and getting my own account. Why? I'm tired of dealing with the drama when I can't give them my payment early when I say I might and them getting pissy over it. I've long since learned not to count on any funds until it's in my account or hands and not to spend it before I have it, but apparently, they haven't.

Tomorrow we're heading over to the Bedford D-Day Memorial, as we've never been and we live 30 minutes away. Yeah. Also, they need donations, as they are in danger of losing their funding. So if you need a good place to donate? That's a good one. Was going to see if the BiL and SIL wanted to go, but after today? Nah, we're go alone, thanks anyway.

Sunday, Charlie and CJ are coming over, to play Tekken 5 wiuth Mark and I. Then I'm grilling out some steaks, boiling up some corn on the cob, heating up some garlic bread and we're chowing down.

2nd period of Game 7 has started... Let's Go, Red Wings! There's no score, by the way. Heh. I take it back, the Penguins just scored. Grr. Still a lot of hockey left though...
