last weekend in wackness
Remember on Friday when I admitted that we hadn’t been grocery shopping since, like, Bin Laden was still alive? Yeah, still haven’t gone. Normally, we would do such a thing on the weekend, but, well…my weekend was wack. It was a wackend.
Saturday I had to work, which is inherently ugh. Yes, it was for a fun thing (graduation) and yes, I’ll get overtime, but it’s still working on Saturday. After that was over, we headed to the baby’s first piano recital, which was in his piano instructor’s storefront church in Swissvale. The baby, always one to tempt that struck-down-by-lightning thing, displayed the kind of religious tolerance that comes from only having brief glimpses of opulent Catholic churches and loudly commented, “This isn’t even a real church. It’s small. And plain.” I have a feeling this is going to be one of the things that comes up if The Rapture is, in fact, this Saturday. The recital was nice enough and not too long. The baby was adorably nervous but got through his piece, “Yellow Submarine,” just fine.
The husband had to DJ after that and I, after putting the baby to bed, passed out on the couch holding my drink. Classy!
Sunday should have been devoted to groceries and laundry but instead I had to attend a Ladies’ Luncheon. I was not in the mood, but went anyway because I decline them fairly often (they’re always at the worst times of the year) and I know it bums my grandmother out when I don’t attend. Of course, I started coming down with a bear of a headache and contributed little to the conversation, but that was good because I started babbling about Ghost Adventures and saying stuff like, “I wonder how much ass Zak gets in those small towns.” Nobody offered up any guesses.
I came home, still vaguely intending to go to the grocery store, but ended up nursing my headache the rest of the day.
Last night, the baby was supposed to have a baseball game but it was cancelled because the weather here has been less than cooperative. It’s rained so much that my grass is starting to look like something that people work on with sickles.
Speaking of baseball, Jwan came over for a little while last night and we were discussing the Pirates and their quick slide back down beneath .500. The husband commented that he still has faith in them ultimately having a winning season, that this recent streak of losses was a momentary hurdle. “More like a HURRDURRDLE,” I replied. The husband laughed but Jwan, who apparently is not aware of DERP, thought I was having a stroke or something.

There is so much in this post I love, not the least of which is HURRDURRDLE.
You need to see this, which makes me laugh until I cry every damn time:

I was pretty proud of HURRDURRDLE, so I’m glad that it’s appreciated. 😉
DERP is one of the best things on the internet. It’s so silly.

I love the musing on Ghost Adventures. Have you seen his twitter stream? It makes me laugh – so incredibly dorky yet not (I think) self-aware enough to know how dorky he is.

OMG– I have not read your blog in forever, but it makes me SO HAPPY you still refer to your son as “the baby”. My kid is 6, and he is still THE BABY.
(I met you at blogher 2 yrs ago, I’m Tracey’s friend and I think you are awesome and I should remember to read your blog!)
