Theyre gone !!!
They’re gone. Well at least they’re out of my hair. The folks showed up tonight for a couple of hours. My dad ordered a shirt from Sears and it arrived today. He and my Mom dropped by so they could try the shirt on and then they watched ‘Flightplan’, the Jodie Foster movie. Now they went back to their hotel (I didn’t kick them out), and I won’t be seeing them for awhile. My dad has one more day of classes and then they take off on Friday morning.
So the good news is my place looks better. Despite my protests, my mother kept picking up little things and the place is spotless. At least she didn’t go nuts this time, and she did comment that it wasn’t bad. This is despite the fact that she changed the foilly things on my stove and she went out and bought me a new toilet seat. I also should thank them for the food they left behind. I have a crapload of homemade perogies now, but I have one problem. How do you cook perogies? Do I boil them? Do I bake them? I guess I’ll have to call her and ask on the weekend.
Truth be told, is that I was happy to see them, even though I ended up playing guide a lot. Showing them where to find item X, Y or Z. Oh and I did come out ahead at the Casino.
The good news is that my Mom didn’t find my porn. I simply hid the folders on the hard drive and that was that. As for the goat, well if Hugh doesn’t have the goat now, there’s a big problem.
Now I feel that an adventure has ended and I want to call it a night so take care.

Why won't my Mommy go away
I know Sunday’s are supposed to be Podcast days but I can’t do one because MY MOM WILL NOT STOP VACUMMING!!!! Yes the parents are here. They arrived on Friday and my mom has been complaining ever since. She doesn’t like the toilet seat. She’s changing the foil things on my stove. She’s doing everything she can to annoy me, and ITS WORKING. She keeps buying all this ‘Healthy stuff’ and talks about how I need to eat healthier. The problem is I really hate the aftertaste of Crystal Light. It’s enough to drive me to drink.
Yesterday I we went out and did some errands for my parents. They don’t usually have access to ‘Big City’ Shopping so we went to Chinook Centre and then we went to Ikea. After that I took my Dad to Best Buy to get him a USB Key. He’s been forced to leave the world of 3 ¼ inch floppy disks behind because the new PC he bought doesn’t have a floppy drive. Ikea was an adventure. I ended up buying some stuff including a $1.49 see-through shower curtain, which I bought out of spite. Actually I like it. It looks cool.
After all the shopping we ended up at one of Calgary’s fine Casinos. Now I’m not a casino person. I have a problem with wasting money in slot machines when I could be paying bills, or saving for a car. Well my Dad gave me $20, which was ok so I figured I should waste the cash. Well I walked away with $160, because I knew to leave when I was ahead. Actually the money I won is just covering my expenses since I took my parents out to dinner, both Friday and Saturday. As well I bought some other item for Mom.
Whew, Mom stopped vacuuming. I just love the silence. The problem is it’s not permanent. I know soon, she will go off about something else.
Well time is limited and while I love my Mom and Dad, I look forward to getting them out of my place.
Sorry that this post isn’t more interesting but I this post has one purpose.
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
