Good morning gals;
Canadians - what did you think of the latest political stuff? I think it's weird how Bono is now talking about his disappointment in re: to foreign aid, and many news outlets are thinking he is disappointed in the sponsorship scandal. It's weird that Bono is involved at all. I watched the communications directors of Liberal, Conservatives and NDP on CBC Sunday yesterday and that was totally amusing. I am a communicator so it was fun for me. I thought the NDP was the weakest, and Liberal was the strongest - he was very on message. NDP didn't have a whole lot to add "we're only interested in the budget" was pretty well his answer for everything.
Last week of April. For those of you needing a "fresh start", May DAy is only a few days away! I can't believe it's already end of April. Dad's wedding is on Saturday. It's very weird. I still can't beleive that he's getting married again. One of my sisters was also suckered into doing a reading. Frankly, I don't want to. I am totally sick still - stuffy, hacking cough, sore eyes. and I don't feel like reading a 10 minute, mushy poem as my dad embarks upon misktake #3. Seems ******ed. I know, I am probably a little hormonal, but I am so disillusioned with my dad and his lies. Do you know, we STILL don't know when they really met??? We've heard about 10 different versions. Both my sisters are like, well, once you have your own family you don't care anymore. But I care that this man cannot be straight with us. Her kids have known him for like 7 years -we just met her 18 months ago, and were led to believe that they had only met a few months earlier. What BS. Anyway, I am bitter about that. I don't oppose the marriage though, as I know he's had a pre-nup that won't effect us this time (last time she got everything, even the land/$ from our grandmother, and her will left everything to her nieces and nephew. I realize how crass that sounds, but it killed me that she'd get anything that our family had worked for, the way she treated us) and if they enjoy eachother, then great. Plus, she is way nicer and less phoney than the last one (though we don't really know her all that well), and she actually seems to geniuinely enjoy the granddaughters, which is a huge improvement. His last wife wouldnt' let us visit even! So, not a bad match at all. It's just that Dad isn't honest with us, that bothers me.
Well, enough about me and my soap-opera family.
How was everyone's weekends? It was gorgeous here, and we did yard work (well, I sat on the deck and watched DH) and stuff like that.
BBL later -come out and play!!
