Well I've been exceptionally lazy recently and haven't written a thing. Shall we go back in time? *insert weird creepy music here* lol.
Friday evening I went to the Peach Festival with Katie to serve many many many steak on a buns to the paying public. They put us in the almost the same spot as last year - two booths away from the bandstand which isn't too bad normally unless of course they let 5 or so teenage garage bands play a set of three songs. Egad there are alot of tone deaf teenagers out there. I've never heard so many heavy metal songs mutilated. When that ear torture was over the bandstand then played what I can only assume was a satellite radio station (no commercials lol) which was great for all of us old people doing the actual work in the booth. Ohhhh rant time - the reason for the cadet booth at the festival is to raise money for the cadet activities during the year. That being said, the cadets are supposed to be there helping out. There were 10 people there - only two were cadets. I was a little put out when a couple more of cadets showed up with one of the mother/volunteers and those two little princesses decided that they were above doing a damn thing (might break a nail or something you know) and the girl's mother said NOTHING, even when I oh so subtlely mentioned that I was surprised that so few cadets were helping out. She actually had the nerve to say "well they are just kids, they would only be in the way". Hmmm she didn't seem to find Katie in the way when she started ordering my daughter around.
Call me petty but at that point I decided that since we had been there for 5 hours we'd done enough and we were going home.
Turns out Jamie was there at the festival as well, and by some weird co-incidence working at the booth directly across from us. Seems one of his little girlfriends had a job there for the festival and she got him one there too. He still wouldn't talk to me but hopefully he decides that being out of his own is losing its appeal and he comes home soon.
Pretty blah weekend after that. On Monday I went to the high school to pick up Katies new timetable and they told me that she had to go the school on Tuesday morning for orientation (getting her timetable, locker assignment and paying her $30 activity fee arghhhhh). So of course I needed to go to her fathers and pick her up so she would actually be there on time. Once I got her home, she tells me that her father STILL hasn't gotten her school supplies so after the oh so interesting orientation, Katie and I went shopping for school supplies. We'll have to see how much Potsie likes having to pay me back for the money I laid out after I specifically told him he would be paying for them, plus paying for half of the activity fee.
So the weather here has been awful recently and is only bettter today - nice and sunny for a change. At least the barometric pressure has let up and that means for the first time in over a week I haven't had a booming headache.
