April 25, 2013 Thursday Afternoon

My parents showed up a little before 5 PM.  Was nice because I had time to take mom and dad around the yard and show them what I have all done before we left the house.  Got to Butch's restaurant by 5:30 PM.  The food was OK enough, the waiter was a pain in the ass.  Not only was he very girly, but he kept bothering us all during dinner for anything and everything.  When we sat down he started telling us a story about his cats that went on and on until we all just stopped talking to make him leave.  We all agreed not to ask him anything from that point on.  When we were finished eating he kept wanting to clear the table even though I was still eating the bread and chips.  I finally had to look him in the eye and very firmly say, 'leave everything that is here at the table here, and please just let us have some conversation'.  Honestly we will most likely never eat there again.  My dad was also surprised how he was talked into the 'couples' steak and lobster only to be charged a $10 plate charge on the bill for the extra plate so they could share the 'couples' dinner.  What, were they suppose to eat the food off the same plate?  Got to the play Catch Me If You Can about a half hour before the show started.  Was nice because then I could talk to the friends we know there before the show about next years subscription.  I think we are going to pass on next year.  I just can not see spending $180 for each show for the both of us to go.  The play was good.  Good enough.  Tony didn't fall asleep, so that must have ment it was entertaining enough.  I think mom and dad enjoyed it so that was the main goal.  Got home a little after 10 PM and said goodbye to mom and dad, and told them to lock and close their car windows as they drive out of the city.  Went to bed a little thereafter since the dogs were all sitting by the bedroom door wanting to go to bed.  Asked Tony when he came home about my card.  Said it was in the car, but didn't get it.

This morning I was up at 6:30 AM.  Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot.  Tony went out to his car to get my card and when he handed it to me and I opened it I was disappointed to see it was a naked man card.  Asked him why he would get me such a card and where.  When I found out he went to the gay bookstore to get the card I questioned if he went there for my card or his enjoyment.  It is a clean adult bookstore but still, he could have just gone to Walgreen's.  Plus I added that this is not a card you get your husband, it is a card you get a friend.  So I was disappointed once again by Tony.  Left the house to go to Menard's to buy two more moldings and some screws and washers I need for this weekends hot tub room roof removal project.  Got home and spent the rest of the day doing things around the house.  Did try to nap with the dogs for a while but could see the sun was out and felt bad being in bed, so I got up.  It did get to 50 today.  Actually snowed this morning ice pellets for a while.  Just making left over spaghetti for Tony tonight.  I will just have a salad and a sandwich.  Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR.
