Brrrrrrrrrrrr Grrrrrrrrrrr

Good evening.

Today started out fabulous. It snowed lightly all day long. Since I was up so early I made pancakes for the family for breakfast when they got up (I rarely do that). We had a great morning hanging out together.
Then it was time to get busy.
"Honey, where'd you put the tree stand?"
"I didn't touch it Dear, it's where ever you left it".
"Ok, I left it in the garage."
"Well, I didn't see it there."
"Ok is the garage open?"
"Yeah, I left it open when I put the tree out there yesterday."
"No, is it LOCKED or UNLOCKED?"
"Its open!"
"I don't see the tree stand DEAR."
"Well maybe its in the basement?"
"It isn't in the basement! I left it in the garage. I left it there because I knew we would be needing it soon."
"Well then it must still be there, I haven't touched it."
"I don't see the damn tree stand DEAR! It was right there, where you've got the tree, I'm SURE of it."
"Well it ISN'T there because I would have seen it when I put the tree there."
"Maybe you're right, maybe I brought it in to the basement."
"It's NOT IN THE BASEMENT ass."
"Hey maybe its in the back bedroom!"
"Hey maybe it is! I'll look, but I don't think so. It's in the damn garage I tell you."
"Was it in the back bedroom?"
"Noooo it wasn't in the back bedroom, and its NOT in the basement, its in the friggin garage, right under the friggin tree! UGH!"
"Its NOT under the friggin tree!"
"Move the tree ass, let me LOOK!"
"Its not there, I would have seen it."
"MOVE THE TREE DAMMIT."
"AHA, THERE IT IS!!! You're such an ass honey."

LMAO this went on for like over an hour, I scoured the whole freakin house and garage. It was in fact right where I had left it, and right under where he put the tree! Gawd.
So now its time to go to town. I had picked up a small Norfolk Pine for S.W, just as a thanks for the coffee type of deal, it was so cute and covered in gold glitter and decorated, I had to get one for someone lol. After paying for our order at the drive thru I thought it was the least I could do. So we thought we'd drop that off on the way to town. Doesn't she stand there like "what the hell is this? Whats this for? A little early for Christmas isn't it?" Like jeeeeez. A simple aw thanks thats cute would suffice, lol.
We were going to town to go to Dollarama to get a whole bunch of garlands and bows to hang on the back fence. They were sold out of everything and it was a jampacked zoo. We got the garland AND a fake tree at Walmart. We also grabbed a couple of toys, as a party we're attending in a couple of weeks wants new toys for "Toys For Tots" as a cover charge type of thing. Well we got into a little tiff at the checkout because I grabbed a second toy, and Hubby thought I was going for a dog toy, so he was confused, who was I buying this toy for, which pissed me off, because don't worry about it, lets go. As we're driving off it gets blown all out of proportion and now we're both all upset over a silly little meaningless misunderstanding!
We come home to drop the stuff off and head back out in the other direction to a little bargain shop we discovered in the summer. We still needed bows for the fence and something for the grill of the truck. We did get that stuff there and more, and a couple more gifts. But the mood was spoiled. We were both upset and bitchy.
We come home and the power is off! Its been off for a while. No power = no heat and no water. GRRRRRRR. We did actually know about it because we had received multiple phone calls from S.W and Little R while we were out and about. We just assumed it was a temporary thing, no big deal. Hubby called hydro several times and they kept changing the recording of "the power will be back on at such and such a time" moving it an hour ahead each time he called. The power didn't come back on til 9ish! The house was freezing. It got dark. I went to bed in a total BITCH, and finally shivered myself to sleep. Hubby woke me when it came back on, with a fire blazing in the fireplace and a cheese/mushroom omelet, orange juice and a fresh coffee waiting. GAWD I LOVE THAT MAN!

I actually had that tingly warm Christmas spirit feeling at one point today, but it got squashed like a bug. I actually got my mind off of "Anonymous", my dying niece, my daughters unidentified lumps, my cervical issues, the war, and all the other negative crap, for just a little while today. I can do it again too.

I did make a couple of calls this morning, to make arrangements to go visit my niece, but got no answer everywhere I called. I'll try again tomorrow. I think I'd like to do as much hanging out with her as I can. I'd like to spend as much time as possible with her while I can.

Just a little footnote, the tree stand conversation has been way shortened for publishing purposes, and a few expletives were left out as well. LOL

Have a lovely evening.
