Another busy weekend
Yesterday was Pride and we (work people) were all supposed to assemble at 10am to set up the float. I had been asking for nearly two weeks for an e-mail with the address or name of the actual meetup location, and instead got a lot of shoddy information that was not helpful, like, "You know, so-and-so's work," or "You know, it's on King Street and that's not a very big street." So early in the morning Jen and I drove up and down the street several times looking for a 'medical building' that 'you can't miss' that had a parking lot big enough in which to set up a trailer. When we didn't see ANYTHING that resembled such, I got angry and pulled into a parking lot, where Jen called one of my coworkers (one of the nice ones) to tell everyone that we weren't coming, eff it. I mean, if no one can be bothered to tell me where to go, why should I show up? But in the end, Nice Coworker convinced us to come, and the location was, for the record, NOT on King Street at all but four buildings down a side street off of King Street... and even when told which side street, we still didn't find this elusive hidden parking lot.
The parade was fun, though, and we kept Morgan sane while driving the float trailer and we threw beads and balloons out of the truck. We got to see some nice people that we know, like Eryn! Fun! We stayed at the actual festival for a very short time and then headed out to Emily's baby shower. It was a good time but her dad's girlfriend was an incredibly chatty woman who kept cornering me to tell me lengthy stories. And of course everyone wanted to tell me how SMALL my belly is.
Today we headed to RI to visit the grandparents and do a little early Mother's Day with the grandmother. I was going to try to catch anitsirk in town and meant to check e-mail from my grandparents' house to see if she was game, but my grandmother was really nervous about an upcoming endoscopy that she is having so it really set me on edge and I wanted to stay there as long as possible. She just kept talking about how everyone she knows has cancer and that she's pretty much convinced herself that she has cancer, too. God, I hope my grandmother does not have cancer. *gulp*
So now we're home, laundry's in, Jen's watching Spiderman 2, and I ate too much fish and chips and currently feel like butt. But I have decided not to let people who like to hurt me matter. Because they don't. Good times.
