Lemme step up on my soapbox and get this off my chest….
IF YOU DON’T WANT SOMEONE TO TAKE PHOTOS, WOULD YA PLEASE BOTH TO EITHER MENTION IT AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR “PRESENTATION” OR ON A FRICKIN’ SIGN BY THE NO FOOD OR BEVERAGES!!!!! I AM SORRY FOR THE CAPS, BUT I HAVE HAD IT!
Is it really THAT tough to GIVE someone the COURTESY to let them know YOUR wishes ahead of time, vs “Uh sir we don’t want photos ….”
So today Dad came home and tells us that Sur la Table called him and they have a COMPLIMENTARY PERSONALLY SIGNED book from Giada waiting for him.
This was very cool of them to step up and take care of Dad after the cluster “F” they had in regards to the ticket and the lack of shared information when he called. Dad says he will go to pick it up on Saturday.
So Dad didn’t get to meet Giada today and sign her new book for him….
…….since no one told him that he had to pre-buy a ticket. (Oh and he called the Kierlan Commons Sur La Table location on Wed to clarify their signing process….) for the signing today…
Dad told me that Mom & Dad were like # 75 in line when they arrived with their chairs @ 9am …
At 10am Mom held their spot in line and Dad went to get his book and when he asked about the ticket he heard mentioned in the crowd and the Sur la Table bitch behind the counter told him he HAD to have a ticket and they were … guess what…?? S O L D O U T ….
that’s right folks… Dad then told me that the ol’ shit hit the fan at Sur la Table to say the least as he chewed them out for not telling him when he called SPECIFICALLY to find out their process……

Then later Dad got an upset stomach (not related), then got “bit” by Rosendo’s new bird, and to top it off..
the damn Red Sox won’t go away… What a Saturday…
By using the Explorer, pulled the tree back towards how it was before… now with many stakings.. with storms expected this weekend… this may just be a temporary fix!
and Dad is PISSED OFF… STRONG winds a really strong storm came into our area Thursday night and knocked over his Mesquite … (which was not the birthday present Dad wanted for his birthday)
Take a look:
Mom did get him a cool pizza (that I am hoping he shares, a dog can hope, right?) for his 38th B-day..
Updates to come in the daylight, but we have a 2nd strong storm coming shortly so I have to get ready for that one!!
Dad was bitching today… and I heard him say something like: “MySpace” for dogs? WTF is this world coming to?”
I had to remind him that his dog has her own blog and was atleast going to put a link to this “Doggy MySpace” in it.. The URL is http://www.doggyspace.com/ :) Mom wants me on there… Dad rolled his eyes at that idea!
