Today was my day off! It was a super productive day. I got my car warshed, did some light cleaning, grocery shopped, the usual. However, much to my happy surprise, my man did some DEEP CLEANING due to his mother visiting. My home is positively sparkling! The down side is… Ughz. Mother in law visitation. She and I, we don’t get along real well. In fact every time she visits there is high drama and fighting. My relationship is at risk every time she crosses the threshold.

I shouldn’t say that. I am sure this time will be different! I am thinking positive thoughts! (I better buy some vodka, just in case tho)

In other news, Kyle Hunter. I mentioned him once or twice. My current news crush… *sigh* It is my mission to meet him. He is local news here in San Diego. Weather. He is on Twitter. He responds to my @replies. Most recently I had tweeted that he should have iWeatherman.com tee shirts (his before FOX weather website, where he’d do the weather in jeans..). He started a Cafe Press shop that day. Haha! It’s just a good idea, I doubt it had anything to do with me. But still! So of course I ordered a shirt… I’m lucky Richard isn’t the jealous type.

Anyhoo, that’s all I got for now. Adios me compadres!

OMG. My parents will be here in San Diego, IN my house in just a few hours.

I think I am ready. Well, kinda ready. I mean, I put fresh sheets on the guest bed, cleaned, polished, scrubbed, vacuumed, and otherwise freshened the entire house. Richard trimmed the backyard to tropical perfection. The house is as ready as it will ever be. But… Am I?

I haven’t seen my parents in a year and a half. We get along great. I miss them a lot. However, there is always that nagging feeling that I will be judged. I hate that feeling. Last time they both told me I was fat. Nice, right? Well I have lost a few pounds, so maybe that won’t come up. Hopefully they won’t think we spent to much money in the nearly 3 years since they’ve been out. Hopefully my mother won’t be critical of our friends. Meh. It’s all probably a non-issue. They really are good people. But these are the things in my head. It’s my parents. They give me stress, That’s normal right?

Speaking of all my friends, I met them all through this blog that my parents know nothing about. How the hell do I juggle the conversations if I introduce them to people? As soon as I turn my back Mom will ask “So how do you know Dan and Richard?”. So?? What do I do? Ask all my friends to lie? Really?

Oi vey. So much to stress out about.

So here we are again, on International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Do you love it? I do!!

So anyhoo, What has been new here? Well other than being “All Pirate, All Day”? Well, I’ll tell ya. Not much. Between working all those weekends in a row, Richard’s birthday, and getting ready for my parents (who arrive Saturday) I am a busy and tired boy! You never realize how much time you spend at work until you try to have a life outside of work. This November and December will be the toughest yet, for that very reason. I will want to spend lots of time with my peeps, but will be working more than ever! *sigh*

So what do we think of fall decor. I have a few changes that I make around the house every fall. It’s a tiny bit early, but I think it will be fun for my mom to see it all *fall-ish* around here. I don’t think they do fall in Florida. At least not well anyways… LOL. So what? Do I put it out for mom or what?? Who knows… Tell me with a comment?
