News from Brian M.
Yesterday, I went to my grandma’s house and the chiropractor. Her house is across the street from Dr. Oh’s office, so after I went to my appointment, I spent the day with grams and auntie Judy. The doc did some acupuncture on me. I had six needles in the shoulder and four in my elbow. It looked worse than it actually felt. He hooked up electric charges to the needles, which pumped heat to the sore spots. After a half hour of that business, I walked over to gram’s house. When I walked in, my aunt had 12 mini pancakes ready for me to eat. In the afternoon, my grandma cooked a grilled cheese for me. They also baked brownies for me. I swear I gain ten pounds when I go over there. In their backyard are several raspberry plants. Since it is raspberry season, I went out back, and picked myself a pint of fresh berries. I’ll pick more this weekend. My aunt let me borrow “Ocean’s Twelve.” They drove me home at 2 p.m.
Immediately, I began watching the movie, since I had three hours to burn until work. It was just horrendous. I’ve never seen more talent go to waste! Then, the part where Julia Roberts’ character plays Julia Roberts was just wrong. The team goes from robbing a casino, to stealing a fucking egg. WTF! I found the constant playing of background music to be distracting too. It didn’t even seem like the same director. Then, I walked to work, and made five hours worth of cash. I got home at 11:15 and went to sleep shortly thereafter.
Today, I went to the beach with Margaret. We met up with Omar, Nick, Baker, Skiba, and Tiana. I had no clue Tiana smokes. I bummed a few off her. Marge and I discussed our L.A. plans. We want to make t-shirts for “The Price Is Right.” Any suggestions of what they could say? I seriously think one of us could get called to be a contestant. We had fun burying Nick in the sand, chilling on the sand bar, and getting tan. Marge got a few pictures, so check out her entry for those. Let’s just say there was a major swimming suit switcheroo (alliteration!) going on!
After my much needed shower, I took a power nap, then went to work at 5:30. I ate those puffy Cheetos along the way. Man, that shit’s good. As I was walking, I remembered that I forgot to record the premiere of “Big Brother 6.” I called my aunt Judy, and she took care of me. I’ll get the tape tomorrow at my gram’s house.
Speaking of gram, tomorrow is the big sale at her house. I will be the only one selling. The rest of my family is working, out of town, or surgery-plagued. It’s going to be a lonely driveway tomorrow.
My aunt and cousins flew into Midway tonight from California. They are spending their nights at my aunt Carole’s house. I didn’t get to see them, and I probably won’t until Sunday.
Things I look forward to include:
-The fish broil on Saturday with Val and Lauren (while getting drunk)
-The three-day garage sale (cha-ching)
-No work for five days (relaxing time)
-A potential “Friends” marathon with Madge (I’m sure she did great on her midterm)
-Seeing my favorite Cali relatives soon (Cindy and the boys)
-The family reunion in the Dells (next weekend)
Say a prayer for Becky’s dad, Joe, who went under the knife a couple hours ago for double bypass heart surgery.
