They are offically girlfriends and they are so cute. They had their first date on Wednesday night, they went to the cinema together to see Batman returns. The kid got her flowers. Bless her cottens, who knew she could be so nice!
The weekend was nice and relaxing compared with the previous weekend, Friday night they kid had a sleepover in the girlfriends. They were having a slumber party so she wanted to stay over. Us being the overprotective parents that we are had to meet the girl first, so herself and the kid came back to the apartment for dinner first and then they headed out to hers. She seems a lovely girl, very down to earth and chatty. We shall see how long it lasts, the kid has a habit of breaking hearts.
Friday night was like old times, myself and Mammy2 on the couch watching Xena, yes, how sterotypical are we! Anyhew, Saturday we started looking at venues for our anniversay do which is in 2 months, we're 5 years married so we've decided to celebrate. With the last 2 years being so hard, a celebration is in order. We had a look at a few locations, they have to call us back with quotes for the champagne and finger food. Looking forward to it now.
The evening was spent in front of the telly watching Live 8, it was good, although there were no boy bands , so naturally I was disappointed! I was impressed by Robbie Williams, whilst I'm not a fan , he's a great entertainer. Madonna was also good, Mariah Carey was dreadful, asking someone to hand her water. I would have soaked her in it. I was too tired to stay up for The Who and Pink Floyd.
Yesterday, the kid paid her first visit to the in-laws for Sunday dinner and lived up to the title of moody teenager by hanging in the sitting room and watching Kerang. She was very well behaved and didn't seem too scared of Mammy2's auntie who calls over for dinner of a Sunday. She slept after dinner whilst Mammy2 tried re-configuring the telly to record off Digital. Seeing as the kid didn't get to bed until 6 on Friday night, she was bound to be wrecked.
I was waiting for the results of the Westmeath match to come through as they weren't on the telly. Eventually we got the text to say that Westmeath were beaten by Clare, Clare of all people?? They shouldn't know what to do with a football, hurling is their game. To add insult to injury, Paidi annouced he was going to step down as manager after the season was finished. What a feckin crap day for football??!
We had our sister's night last night, horror movies and munchies. White noise was supposed to be a thriller, there are no words, its pants. Creep was a bit better if a tad gory, british horror tends to go up that extra notch with blood and guts. Luckily for me Liar Liar was on the telly after Creep, and I didn't have to sit up all hours with the kid because she was scared!
Into my 4th week here in the new job, and settling in alright. The only downside is the being on call every 2nd weekend.I'm sure its something I'll get used to.
