I can't even say sorry to those that like T Swift. I honestly cannot stand her music. It is the most boring forgettable pop crap on the radio. I can honestly say I can't think of one song she has sung.
That being said, I am completely appalled at how much money has been spent on tickets to see her. Shame on her!!! At this time when everyone is whining about not enough money in their pot they can pull out thousands of dollars for two hours of bad music!!!! Where are the parents? Would this not be a good time to teach kids priorities? What an indulgent spoiled world we westerners live in!!!
I guess a Swifty could launch back at those of us that cruise. On average cruises cost about five thousand dollars. But it is two weeks of fun, not two hours. And just think, five kids could have gone to a concert for that amount of money. I get the kids...I had kids who were gaga over Guns and Roses or Backstreet boys or Mars Volta, the same level of fervour. But the tickets were maybe a hundred dollars, not thousands. They were cheap enough the kid could kick in half easily. But Swifty tickets? I don't think so.
Anyway, enough of that. I am sounding like an old curmudgeon which is fine because I am. One thing about aging, you get smarter and you get waaaay less tolerant with stupidity.
The next thing on my list is laundry. I have garbage bags, the extra large ones that are hard to find, full of dirty laundry. Before I leave for Vancouver I must get most of it done. I am going to let the household know that I will be usurping the machines for a couple of days.
When I bought that washer and dryer set I purposely purchased extra huge and gargantuous ones. I had duvets and Monte's jeans in mind. The first time I used them I discovered a true disadvantage to this. It had to do with my stomach.
Due to the size of my gargantuous stomach, bending over to reach the suctioned to the bottom clothes (the spinning cycle is like a turbo hurricane and sucks everything to the bottom of the barrel) I found I could not reach the bottom. My stomach was a definite impediment. What the hell? My only defence to this silliness is that I bought them online, sight unseen so no chance to try them out, not that I would have. Like who bends into a washing machine to see if they can reach the bottom before buying? That would be no one!!!!
The only way to solve that is to use Bill's grabber. If you don't know what that is google image 'grabber'. Those are for people who can't bend over...like Bill was. I went to get it and couldn't find it in this house that bares/bears the name "I CAN'T FIND IT'. So over the rim of the barrel, legs kicking in the air, I repeat until all has been removed. Later I find laundry bruises on my said impediment.
So now it is packing time. I leave on the 23rd and come home on Jan 3rd ish. I firstly go park on April's street somewhere and then Arnie will pick me up to go to hers until the 28th. Then I go to April's. I am hoping they plan to go out New Years Eve. I can babysit Leeloo. On the second I am meeting Graeme for lunch or supper depending on his work hours. Then probably home on the 3rd.
I am really looking forward to the holidays. I don't like to leave the Port family for too long but I would love to go see Cookie. I don't even know if she is busy or not. She travels a lot and still does the Granny Nanny thing (lucky girl!) sometimes. For a best friend I hardly ever see her. It is time. We have lots of family gossip to catch up on. A bff is one person where gossip isn't really gossip. It is unloading crap in a gossipy healing way!
Thats it for today. Mr dog has to go out and it is blowing and raining like crazy out there. He will have to be pushed down the deck stairs. So talk to you in a few days. Have fun getting ready for the holidays!!!! Do some baking and EAT IT!!!!!!
