Also on the 20th I went to lunch with my Aunt Patty. We went to a Chinese restaurant because I could currently live off of fried rice. I am so bad at keeping secrets, I already told her the next blanket I am making is for her. I just can’t promise when it will be done, as I am a total procrastinator and often get distracted by shiny objects and donuts. Maybe if I had more self-control my face wouldn’t be so chubby and people would stop mistaking me for a 17 year old. Maybe that’s all in my head and I actually pass for early 20’s? Maybe I shouldn’t have made that giant bowl of puppy chow… Anyhow, Matt was completely helpless when he realized he was eating lunch alone. “What am I going to eat? What am I going to do?” He said he would do the dishes and clean up his messes and study. So when I got home he was sitting on the couch with Chris playing video games and hadn’t accomplished any said tasks. Don’t feel too sorry for the kid.
Last week Matt a round cake for me; red velvet with cream cheese frosting.
He did a pretty good job but he was sad because it didn’t look like my mother’s cakes.
Matt:“She makes it look so easy!”
Me: “Well she has been doing it most of her life”
Me: “Wait, what about my cakes? You’re comparing yours to my mom’s but I make cakes too!”
Matt: “Well you’ve only made me one”
TOTAL lie, I have made several round cakes that he has gotten to eat so I was incredibly offended.
We celebrated my dad’s birthday on the 15th. We were discussing his age:
Me: “You’re 49 now, right?”
Dad: “Yeah, 49”
Christian: “you’re 90 what??”
(Everybody laughs)
Mom (or somebody): “99”
Christian: “wow next year you’ll be 100!”
Me: “If he makes it”
I should have written it down earlier but that’s my best recollection. All was explained to Christian and the eating of the cake commenced.
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
