Cuz You Had a Bad Day

Stella: Today has turned out to be a not-so-cheerful day. Our boss is being an inappropriate word. Like seriously. A really inappropriate word. Loki & I have both contemplated how we should just get up and walk out. Our phone hasn’t stopped ringing. And there is a man outside walking around painting the house with something & the fumes are about to knock us all dead and the smell of my leftover lunch is almost as potent. Not to mention, our stupid ex’s are getting big, ugly tattoos and making up lies. (Okay, just mine. Which is nothing unusual but still irritating!) The only thing I have to look forward to is the Carrie Underwood concert tonight with my beloved little parents.

Loki: Oh yes, I just called Big T to rant and I was hoping to get some sympathy or for him to say he will come and kick our boss’ butt. Maybe I just wanted him to tell me to quit my job and come home. (Why I think this will ever happen is beyond me!) Alas, all he said was, “Crap rolls down hill.” I don’t even know what that is supposed to mean! But he said it like 3 times. I guess he was trying to say let it go… Sigh.

Isn’t it funny how 10 years ago you wouldn’t be caught dead at a concert with your PARENTS! And now they are your date. I would make fun of you except I would gladly join in. Although in this point of my life, country music gets on my nerves. All I have to look forward to is another hour in the car before I get home to cook dinner. And I just realized I didn’t thaw anything for dinner. Nuts.

Stella: Yes, I have gone to several concerts with the Old Folks. Billy Joel… John Cougar... I have no shame in that. It’d be even nicer if they were paying for it… (Hint! Hint! Nana Bess!) Loki actually had the nerve to call Carrie “whiney” this morning. I was very defensive seeing as how we watched her on American Idol & grow up in the country music scene… like proud parents.

Loki: I do not watch American Idol! Gasp! I do like Carrie, but today it was just too much. It probably didn’t help that we were inching our way to work in stop-and-go traffic. Stella was blarring the slow “poor me” music and singing loudly while zooming up to the car in front of her- and then slamming her brakes only to be inches from the bumper of the vehicle ahead of us. She then complained that she couldn’t ever get over to switch lanes! So I had to coach her on how to get over slowly… My work as a big sister is never done. Haha just kidding, please don’t talk about my driving.

Stella: I used to think The Man Child was the family shame, but now I think you are. Not watching as much tv as the rest of us. Disgraceful. Well, the only interesting thing that has happened while at work is Cha cha just told us that she knew a girl named “La-a.” How would you say that? That is the real spelling… La-a. You pronounce it “La Dash ah.” Do you ever feel like we have the same conversation over & over?

Loki: What did The Man Child ever do to be the family shame? I have always been the family shame… or felt like the family shame. May I also say that every time The Man Child is mentioned I hear you say the line about RUSSIAN WOMEN…It's connected to the name now in my head…And it makes me laugh. Say it again. haha.

Stella: He didn't go to college. Duh. Not carrying on the tradition of getting a General Studies degree and doing nothing with it. What's he thinking!

*** I would also like to add that Carrie was AMAZING! She sang a medley of "Jesus Take the Wheel" & "How Great Thou Art" that was out of this world!!! And then as we were leaving the concert, who do I see? Our boss & his wife. I'm pretty sure I was not very friendly.

So! How was your day today? Did you have a good day today or a bad day today? Well, what kind of day was it? I don't know, how 'bout you, how was your day?
