Gift of Gab.......
Some people were not blessed with the gift of gab....I was NOT one of those people. I love to talk...to my friends, strangers, myself. I just love to talk. I'm not famous for starting conversations, but I will try to keep them going with endless ranting. For example in an elevator, I might not be the one to engage, but I will keep talking even as they are trying to exit the elevator. If I'm at a bar waiting for a drink, I might start a conversation, but if I don't and I notice someone glance at me then I will brave the initial conversation.

Co-workers who are mean to their husbands, I hate this. I sit directly across from a woman who is a prime example. My back is to her actually. Anyway, today her husband called to say he forgot his lunch. She asked how much money he had, he said $5. She told him to go to McDonalds and eat off the dollar menu. He must have said he would go to his parents and pick thru their refridgerator. She hung up and proceeded to tell all of us around her how stupid he is...how could he forget his lunch...why not just eat out....why go to his moms. WHO THE HELL CARES!! Then he always calls at 3:30 everyday when he gets done work and she tells him what he has to do, as if he doesn't do the same thing every single day. She never says I love you to him. PLEASE don't let me end up like her.

Photo Albums...What will become of them? Now it's photos on a disc. Well not for me, I have them saved on my PC, I'm not sure how to get the off. Point being, what will become of wedding albums, baby books? Will yearbooks become obsolete? I love photos. Everything is becoming to digitized. People are losing jobs because of it, possibly memories. I know I've touched on the whole write a letter and not an email. Pick up the phone and call a friend, anytime, not just on "free weekends".

Grandparents....My parents are watching my daughter for me tomorrow so I can go out. Nice of them, right? Well I was originally scheduled to drop her off at 3 pm. I have since found out that traffic will be really bad and I may have to wait longer for dinner at the place we are going to. I called the grandparents to say I would be dropping her off a 1/2 hour earlier. I get a sigh on the other end. Before I thought about it, my mouth had said, " You know, most grandparents are excited that they get to spend some alone quality time with their grandkids. " My mom just said, "Oh I was hoping that you were calling to say it would be later you were dropping her off." UGH.
Think that about does it for the little things that are bothering me today. For now anyway, it's only 1 pm.

re: grandparents. I actually get that too, but they want to bask in feeling a part of why she is such an amazing kid, who can sing and dance, etc. hang in there, probably has more to do wtih them, than anything you or your daughter are "doing." have fun and enjoy your time out!
What worries me is the amount of photos I've lost through bastard computer crashes.
I'm not into sticking pictures in albums or up for people to see, but there's pictures of my house and Derby friends gone that I'll never get back as they were just on the computer and that sucks.
We both have phone bills that testify your gift of the gab!
Doesn't help that I'm the same, eh?
I too fear for real photos, it makes me a little sad.
And I could have sworn that I'd commented on the last post!
