Cranberry or Pineapple??

Phew, I thought you guys would think that I am a weirdo.

Sandy, I do not think you can go anywhere anymore and not have this happen. Like I said people have forgetton or not been taught any manners. Jeff use to pick on me saying it was rude people in the town I gerew up that did this. My hometown is an hour west of where we live now and in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very country area. We lived there for about 6 months while we saved for our first house. This was when Mac was a baby. Jeff hated it there and would put down the area at any given chance. So this became a frequent complaint when we went anywhere. I loved it when we moved back and lo and behold people here do the same thing. lol

You are prefectly human in expecting people to be nice and not rude.

Luckily Alex liked it enough not to be put off when he found out what it was but he enjoyed grossing out Tammy's dad, since he hates seafood. My SIL's husband doesn't like seafood, either, but he was very supportive that Alex was willing to try something new.

That is wonderful. Now talking about weird...not Sandy..that would be my kids. lol I can not understand why if you loved something one minute you can change your whole attitude when you find out what the food actually was.

Happy New Year everyone.

I am just doing research on Costa Rica. We may go this March. Just wondering that there is to do and see.

One of my best friends has been there and one of her real good friends lives there now.

Ok guys, too many cranberry/pineapple drinks last night? LOL

Hey I posted...I am so old that I was in bed by the time the ball dropped. lol

I had the worst hangover yesterday. I think it was the 3 glasses of champagne at midnight. But, I have fun. And, I didn't break my promise to myself to get back on my treadmill yesterday.

I actually tried to get on to post yesterday morning, but wasn't patient enough to wait for the page to load. Don't know why it seemed to get hung up, but my connection at home is definitely way slower than at work.

We made California rolls and watched Parenthood and Big on NYE. Shot off a few poppers at midnight, then went to bed. Didn't even go out yesterday even though Heidi called to tell me that she found Mario Kart at Game Stop. Don't think we'll have the luxury to sit around all day today, though.

Didn't Gamestop have the set for $50? Ours had them but I figured you or Heidi would not be helped by having one in NC.

My DD is 15 and has been "going out" with this boy for 7.5 months. The day before Christmas one of my DD's not so close friends called her to tell her that the boy friend is cheating on her and proceeded to send her a picture of DD's boyfriend with my DD's best friend. Looking at the picture anyone could see what was going on. It was a picture of her best friend laying half on top of the boy friend with his arm inimately around the best friend. The girl that called is a childhood friend and had no clue that the girl with DD's boyfriend is/was her best friend.

DD has chosen to forgive the boyfriend but needless to say it will take mom a lot longer to forgive him. I personally do not care to ever see the boy or the girl. BUT I will respect my DD's misdirected decision.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Oh Selena. How awful. I feel so bad for her. I would not be able to forgive if I were you either. I know that she is young and he probably won't be her last BF but still......no one should have to be put in that situation to forgive or not. I saw my BF kiss my cousin in his kitchen as her husband and I sat in the living room. I acted like I didn't see anything. HOW STUPID on my part. Of course, our relationship ended with him cheating with another girl. We were both around 20.

When Mac was talking to Shawn about the picture she finally said to him I do not think my mom will believe you and handed me the phone. Shawn tried to tell me it was all Koty but I said Shawn I have seen the picture. It is you with your arm around Koty and you are having one heck of a good time, so do not tell me it was all Koty. I also told him if this would have been Jeff I would have slammed the you know what out of him and kicked him out of my house. He finally admitted to it all. I really can not stand this kid now!! Funny thing is Mac is blaming Koty more than Shawn. I say they both do not deserve another chance.

That was the price she told me. The thing is, at this point, Alex has saved up nearly $200 worth of gift cards for Target from Christmas, Birthday, etc. so he is hoping to buy it himself. I know we could buy one of the cards from him and let him use the money at Game Stop, but he seems content to wait until it is available at Target.

I can't really comment on the other issue without being a total hypocrite. If there'd been camera phones around when I was a teen, I'd have probably been in trouble a lot.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Selena - poor Mac. Sounds like she is blinded by "love" and is choosing him over her so called "friend" because she enjoys having a boyfriend. It must be so hard for you to even see Shawn or hear his name, that would make me so mad. What does her "friend" say about it?

Jrsy - I will keep checking Target and let you know if I find anything!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Jrsy, I keep checking Target as well.

Selena, at least he finally admitted it!

You should be very proud of Alex. He is one smart kid.

Yeah that is why my DD now longers has a phone. Well that is very out there but it is not as bad as that sounds. lol

MacKenzie has a set of friends that are her bffs. The picture was sent by a childhood friend who is not one of the bffs. Her name is Jessica and Jessica actually sent the picture to one of her BFFs thinking it was Mac's phone. This friend's name is Becca. Becca has not liked Shawn in months. Comes to find out this is probably not the first time Shawn has cheated on Mac.

1. Remember when we went on that short cruise in May? Well the day the cruise was going out, literally as we were leaving the dock at sailaway Mac got a call saying Shawn was cheating on her. When we were back Mac questioned everyone and she never could find proof of him cheating.
2. Then over the summer she was told he was kissing on his exGF who lives in his neighborhood.
3. Then when school started he was "caught" again with this exGF. Someone called Mac then too. She called Becca who was at Band practice and Becca caught him with his arm around this girl.

Of course each and everytime Shawn has said he was innocence. Before I believed him but now after seeing the picture I do not believe one single word he may ever utter.

Yeah he is a piece of crap!!! lol

Shawn is very jealous over silly things and Mac has been wanting a t-shirt of Jacob from the Twilight Movie. So I am going to buy her this t-shirt hopefully she will wear it often in front of him. I am so childish, I know. I am going to find her a poster too!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I don't like the sound of this kid. Just think how young he is and how much he has gotten by with. Who knows how long this stuff will go on. Poor Mac, young love stinks and she is blinded by her love for him. I was Mac years ago.
