Best Part of the Day - Had the boyz off to preschool, dropped the dog at doggie day/night care, ran to the grocery store, picked up lunch ... by the time I got home Gigi was 95% done with the kitchen. Then she picked up the boyz from preschool and drove them to Columbia, SC where she met with Johanna (Erik's mom) to give them to her. (We will pick them up in Hilton Head on Saturday after we unpack the house.) That is a RELIEF to get the boyz and the dog in safe, fun places so we can attend to the business at hand!
- We couldn't have done it without you Gigi!!!
Worst Part of the Day -
Communication - a short play by Molly Lovett
Three Weeks Ago
Me - Erik, it is finally time for you to live the dream and buy a new tv. But you have to do it prior to the move because of the installation of the satellite deal.
Erik - okay
One Week Later
Me - I've looked at some tv's online -have you talked to anyone or looked?
Erik - Plently of time. No I haven't looked
Me - Okay - but we don't want to have to pay to have the install guy come out twice and it would be nice to do it while the boyz are gone.
Erik - Mumbles
Today
Erik - Should we just do Best Buy tomorrow?
Me - Well are you prepared to just buy one tomorrow without doing any sort of comparison shopping (yes I did say "comparison shopping")
Erik - Why would I have to buy one today?
Me (calmly, sucking in my breath repeat the exact phrase I used three weeks ago)
Erik - Oh. I guess I remember the conversation, but didn't' remember that it had to be done that soon. (Pause) Can't they do the install without a tv?
Me - No, I don't so.
And scene.
Epilogue - did you know Best Buys close at 9 p.m.? And banging on the door won't make them open (just kidding).
