Woah, Baby.....
It's April Fools and I don't have anything planned. I usually like playing a prank on at least one person, but this year, I had no victim.
I sent an Easter card to the in-laws home and since thankfully, they all have an amazing sense of humor, James said it was more than ok to send one we both liked.
On the front of the card is an overly decorated egg walking past two solid colored eggs.
"Did you look at the dye job on that one?" and the other egg says "Yeah, what a slut"
I can't remember what the inside said, but we both thought it was hilarious, so we sent that.
Mom one-up'd us and we have 2 boxes waiting for us at the post office.
James' inpatient inner child came out and he HAD to call his mom to find out what they were. I was in the background screaming "DON'T TELL HIM!" and I could hear her laughing as she said "You'll find out when you get them" and my husband knowing he was defeated, handed me the phone.
I think my Mother In-Law wants a grandchild from us. She asked me if I was going to play a prank on James and I said "No, he already told me everything I tell him tomorrow is going to be a lie" and she said "You should tell him you're preganant" and I said "No, he'll probably try to kill himself" and James said "Why?" so I told him what his mother suggested and he said "I'd just punch you in the stomach" so I said "Did you hear that? He said he'd punch me in the stomach" and James and I were cracking up, while from her end: Silence.
I don't know if she was trying to bring up the idea of children with us, but it failed. If anything, I know it'll come up when we visit in July. It's ok, I'm a big girl and I can handle it. Plus, there are certain events I'd like to NOT be pregnant for: trips and an upcoming May 2011 wedding I'm coming out in :) After that, it's fair game and open for discussion - meanwhile, no thanks.
Spoke with my mother yesterday as well; she has impeccable timing- I was in the middle of watching Dreamgirls. My mother ALWAYS calls when I am watching a movie. Either that, or I just watch too many movies. It could be the latter.
Speaking of movies, Netflix is the best thing since sliced bread. I have "Precious" in transit and should be here tomorrow. I cannot wait, a good Friday night movie! I'm not sure what to make for dinner.
This week is pay day for both James and I and hopefully we set him up with my Union of CA account. I have an account at another bank that isn't my primary so I'm just going to add James to that account; it's the one I used when Leslie and I lived together. My primary account I'd like to keep for myself since it is the one that I have built up on since I was 17. I have my IRA, savings and my checking there and I like having control of my money. I am extremely anal about the activity on my accounts and I couldn't fathom having someone else disturbing that. I have a system set up for it and don't want it to change. Yes, he is my husband, but this account is off limits. The UBofCA can be a joint account and one we can build up on. I think it's just been something that has been planted in my head since I can remember and I'm far too stubborn to change my mind about it. Thankfully, I have an amazing husband who doesn't care about the details and knows how great I am at managing the finances.
I'm pretty hungry now, so I'm going to go heat up my lunch. Yummy leftovers, here I come.
