They had a party planned for her, but she was too crotchety to attend
I totally forgot to mention it, but today was my Nanny's 90th birthday!
I gave her a phone call to wish her a happy one, and at first she didn't want to hear from me at all. It took some finegling from my aunt Pat to even get her on the phone, and Nanny showed off her awesome personality by telling me that I shouldn't have bothered calling and when I told her that she looked beautiful (a bit of an in-joke in my family. Whenever we call each other we always say how the other party is looking great!), she said "What the hell do you know?!" and then handed me off to my aunt. *L*
On the up-side, Nanny is still around for her 90th birthday. There were more times than I'd like to count where it seemed as though she'd never live to see the day. 'Course, she's become a crotchety, venomous old harridan... but everyone seems to be getting used to that new side of her.
Happy Birthday, Nanny!
Even if you're a bit evil and a bit out there, I still love ya and think you're beautiful!
