Today My Father was Set Free, Along with my Soul
So, this morning was kind of interesting. I woke up to my mother knocking on my bedroom door. It was 8am and, if I wanted to go to church with them and grandma and grandpa, I needed to be around by 830. Crap. My alarm was supposed to go off at 7 but the volume was so freaking low I had to literally put my ear down to the alarm to hear anything. Lucky me. So, I had to run around to take a shower, got myself pretty, and I got out of my room, ready to go. I saw mom and asked her where dad was. She said that “he went down to the lobby to complain about our accomidations.” I cringed with fear and embaresment. Mom told me “well they prefer that we complain to them about the accomidations.” Yes, everyone loves to hear people bitch *chuckles*. But the funny part was that mom said that dad was “set free” when he realized how small the tv was in the living room and that the tv in the master bedroom was smaller. I was amused by that saying. So anyways, apparently dad told the people there was multiple things wrong with the place and really wanted the two tv’s switched out and it should get done today since we’ll be gone the whole day.
So, anyways, we left to go to church, picked up grandma and grandpa. You could tell that both of them were really excited to see all of us. It was really nice to see them again. So, we went over to church to the sunday school service. It was alright. I always find myself listening for the first few minutes, getting the gist of the message, and then fading in and out ’cause I don’t really need to hear the supporting details, I get it. I don’t need to be repeated to 20 times to get the message. But, it was nice just the same. The people there seemed to be very friendly and what not, so that was nice. Not really my scene, especially since they are Baptists, but it’s all good. Then the service was pretty much the same thing, the pastor started to go off about how people should be praying that Roe Vs Wade is overturned, innocent children being slaughtered, etc etc etc. I personally disagree, but again, those are their views. I was half expecting him to start going into homosexuality. And I made a lil’ mental note that, if he started going into it, I would walk out of the service. But, he didn’t, so it didn’t really force my hand on the issue.
After the service we went to this Chinese place. It’s kind of like the new place in Celina, where they have the prepared food and then the grill type of food. And, I was really disapointed. The prepared food was so-so and then the choices for the grilled type of food wasn’t very big, kinda blah looking. But, I do have to say that I got the best chinese fortune cookie today. It reads, “You are about to become $8.95 poorer ($6.95 if you had the buffet)” I almost wet myself, I laughed outloud for about 30 seconds, dad prolly thought that I lost my mind…until I could catch my breath long enough to read it to them, and then everyone got a huge laugh out of it. I told them that the fortune was actually meant for dad hehe.
So, after lunch, we went back to grandma and grandpa’s to chit-chat a wee bit and stayed until 5:30 (grandma and grandpa were going back to church for sunday evening service) and we were gonna get something to eat. We ended up going to Joe’s Crab Shack. I had the snowcrab and fried shrimp, it was pretty good.
Ohhh…on our way to get something to eat, dad kept on trying to stop at these fruit places to get some grapefruit for the mornings for breakfast. And…they were all closed. He was getting so fucking pissed. I was getting increasingly annoyed at him for it as well. He just kept on throwing these lil’ tizzies if he missed a turn or, for the love of everything, the fruit places were closed. Finially I found one that was open (after finding three that were closed) so dad turned in and then he was happy. We then ran into a CVS to get some pop for me and some milk for dad…and then dad went to Krispy Kreme to get some donuts and he’s been fiending on them tonight. And we started to watch Third Rock From The Sun on DVD. It’s pretty funny, but dad thinks that it’s funnier then what it really is and was screaming with laughter at every turn. *sighs*. I checked my soul with my luggage in Indy and I think that it was misplaced. May the gods help me…
