How I spent the last night of the year
I got home from work a little early yesterday because I was one of the morons that indeed had to go to work cuz I’m cool like that. I came home and had a migraine so I laid in the bed till CB got home and hopped on top of me for a few before going off to his online video game.
Around 6:30 the phone woke me up. It was Daddio returning my call. It was snowing out and the roads weren’t great so I just wanted to make sure he was OK. I hung up the phone and went back to sleep and then it dawned on me that we’ve got NO food and it’s New Year’s Eve and tomorrow (today) is New Year’s day and nothing will be open.
I get up to find CB on the fucking computer. I tell him we need groceries. Uh huh.
I lay back down as my head is throbbing.
CB finally comes into the bedroom about 1/2 hour later. It was 10 minutes to 8 and the Whole Foods was closing at 8. I refused to rush over there to get in before closing just to have to run through the store. We ended up at a different store that was open till 9 and guess what? We didn’t leave the store till 9 with $150 worth of groceries (exactly why I didn’t want to walk into Whole Foods as it was closing…because *someone* shops like a woman).
I thought I was going to pass out from the throbbing pain in my head – and I was hungry, too.
We stopped to pick up some Mexican food (not Taco Hell eh) and went home. I devoured my Floutas and immediately felt better… which makes me think I had a sugar low which scares the shit out of me because I know two people with diabetes and it’s not fun to live with.
By this time it’s about 10 PM so we flip on the news for 20 minutes before finding some other shit to watch on the tellie.
At 11:30 CB finally popped open the champagne we picked up at the grocery store.
We clinked glasses an midnight while Lenny Kravitz serenaded me (us) on the tellie. We smooched and off CB went to play his motherfucking online video game.
I dozed for a couple minutes before asking him what the fuck was going on.
He continued to play his game and when I got up to go in there (office) to ask him what the fuck was going on, his father’s voice boomed from the phone he held. He called his family to wish them a Happy New Year and had them on fucking speakerphone.
I sat back down on the couch and continued to watch Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC. An hour fucking later, he was still on the phone and I was pissed. I shut the tv off and went to the bedroom and laid there and watched tv.
The vent for the heat is above our heads in the bedroom and it’s not on properly and looks as if it could fall at any moment. So after laying in bed for about a 1/2 hour, I yelled out to CB to come in there and fix the fucking vent.
He opens the door a minute later – still on the motherfucking phone – and says, “My mom says you should go see a doctor.” (for the migraines)
He hangs up the phone and jumps on the bed to pop the vent back into the wall and leaves me in the bed to go back to playing his fucking game.
After about another 1/2 hour I gave up and turned the tellie off and turned on my noise machine (it helps me sleep). It was about 2:20 AM.
Now it’s 11:25 AM January 1, 2008 and guess who’s snoring away in the other fucking room.
What a fucking miserable way to ring in the New Year. I’m not a happy camper right now and I’m not even PMSing or anything.
I guess I’ll go make myself some Tim Horton’s coffee and pancakes or something.
Happy Fucking New Year!
