My eldest and his wife have colds so they are staying home today. No passing anything around (!!) It'll just be us and the birthday boy and his girlfriend.
No sushi because all the places are closed on Sunday -- staffing is a big issue. Hitting up pizza, garlic knots and meatballs from a local place. I'll get GF pizza.
The banana pudding turned out well after an urgent trip to the market because I didn't read the recipe the entire way -- ugh. I didn't make the Slush Cake which is an extra good decision given it's just 4 of us for football, birthday and food.
It's a bit awkward not having the entire group today. The youngest's girlfriend is a bit uncomfortable (or uninterested) around hubby and me. She enjoys a younger crowd, I guess. It's not horrible, but it's a one way conversation. Me asking her questions. Her answering and the conversation ends. Maybe things will loosen up the more we see each other. She seems relaxed and happy when everyone is around though. I'll keep trying and (thanks to life coaching) I don't take it personally. I don't say this often, but thankful for the distraction of a football game.
And, while I don't take her disinterest personally, I will be looking for a thank you for a birthday gift I gave her 2 weeks ago (a dutch oven she wanted). Nice gift. No thank you (he thanked me a few times on her behalf). Hmmmmm.
That said, she's great with my son, makes him happy, smart, bold -- lots of things to like.
The upright freezer got delivered yesterday. It's a tight squeeze to fit it in my car. This is going to change plans getting to Asheville before Christmas. I need to rework some things, but it's totally worth it. This will solve my freezer issue provided the electric can handle it (if not, time for electrician).
Best get moving. Have a good Sunday. Later gators.
