THE BRIDAL SHOWER
This weekend I attended a Bridal Shower next door. I know, next door... no way getting out of that one. Anyway, it was for the soon to be daughter-in-law of the couple next door. They are really sweet kids. I call them kids, because anyone younger then me, is as kid. She is 23, and he is 21. This is so terrible, but I couldn't help but think that, this will never last. I hope that it does but, "come on now!" Honestly, let's be realistic! We are from Oklahoma, where the divorce rate is in the top five. That's because there isn't a damn thing to do here but fight, drink beer at the bar, or have an affair.
Ok, that was wrong. I shouldn't have dumped everyone into the same category. For example, my parents just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in July. You would think that I would have learned by example. After all, "I am" on marriage number two. This was my husband's second marriage as well. I have one son from the first marriage, and he has two son's from his first marriage. We have three children, because we don't want four. I know what you thinking. Oh yea, another blended family. Don't even get me started on that, or we'll be here all day.
Back to the bride to be. I thought the whole shower went really well. Not too much drama, great food, and nice gifts. The best thing about it was, I didn't even have to take my car, purse, keys, or cell phone. What a bonus! Again, I couldn't help but think, you better get some nice gifts this time Sister. You'll need that stuff to divide when you get a divorce. I still use some of the old 1992 cook ware from my first marriage. Hey, it was good cook ware, and still is. I'll be damed if he was going to let "Butt Face" take it with him. Are you with me? Even it was crap, I was going to make him cook with all of the old, crappy plastic ware. No... I am not bitter. I'm over it, I'm happily remarried, and it has been years since the divorce. That was just my attempt at being funny.
So... that's how my Saturday afternoon played out. I contemplated her divorce, and ate some awesome, authentic, home made mexican food that they served at the shower. Which I kindly topped off with, a piece of wonderful chocolate cake. A day in the life. Aren't you glad you're not me? I have got to get busy around here. Talk to you soon.
P.S. Thanks to the one polite person from Canada who left me my first comment. Me... interesting, who knew? Wait until you read my book! I serious about the book...

Well, I'm glad that someone else besides my family thinks I'm funny. It's really not meant to be, it's just my life. Beth
