Yes! Finally taking a break. I'm on my 2nd Hefe Weizen and working on marinating the Air Chilled Free Range Chicken Thighs I bought from Whole Foods Market an hour ago. Air chilled and free range? Sounds like that chicked lived a better life than mine :-). I'm picturing chickens in a 3-star Arizona spa. Ha-ha! In a couple of hours, revenge will be mine :-).
I'm trying to cut-out reality TV shows from the little time I have to view TV shows, but this guy got me hooked...
"Mom, I talked to Susan today". I quickly juggled what was left of my over-extended, over-exhausted brain after a day of never-ending meetings, budget approvals and projects that resembled nightmares. Not surprisingly, I drew a blank. It seems that I have outsourced my memory out to some forgotten place.
I picked up her baby loofah and proceeded to scrub her back as she made bubbles in her tub. "Susan-who?", I ask-- thinking she might've been referring to a new friend in school (then again I thought... who names their kid "Susan" these days-- perhaps those polygamous women in TX who live in a compound and think that marrying off their nine yr old to their holy husband is God's way of spreading love and so they continue with their inbreeding?).
After a long sigh, using her little tone of voice one might use on an annoying person..."Mommy, Susan is Russel's Mom, remember? Russell-- MY BOYFRIEND"?!
Like, duh! How could I forget? My 4 year old has a boyfriend! And four year olds are supposed to have boyfriends! All those fluffy pink and purple Princess tales have taught my daughter that there is nothing better in life than to fall in love with a handsome prince and that a happy ending is synonymous to a wedding. How did I forget that? And yes, she is Princess because I am most definitely Queen.
She smiles, happy that we're now on the same page. "I told Susan that I'm going to marry Russell when I grow up"! My jaw drops to the floor.
"And what did she say?"
"She laughed, and then she said REALLY?"
"And then what?"
"She asked me if we were having a small wedding or a big wedding."
"And what did you say"?
"I told her I want a BIIIIIGGGG wedding! The biggest wedding ever! I told Susan to save all her moneys so Russell and I can have the biggest wedding ever!".
I turn off the water and pull the towel over her head quickly so she wouldn't see the smile creeping up my face...
Now that my folks is what you call planning ahead. In two weeks, she will be planning for her retirement.
