Visit Highlights

As previously mentioned, my mom and niece Michal were in for a visit this weekend. While the visit was actually fantastic, there were a COUPLE of moments that were a little tough-and-go:

• A minor imbroglio about whether shrimp, in fact, fell under the “no face” rule for my vegetarian niece. I guess, on second thoughts, the person doing the eating really OUGHT to be the arbiter of that.
• Michal found out that her birthday present/Southwest airline ticket only cost me $5
• The awkward moment where we had to challenge mom’s assertion that it was Michal who had smoked in the bathroom [kidding, kidding, there was no smoking in the house! ]
• The Mexican standoff on butter vs. margarine for the apple crumble [my fat-loving ass did not have a dog in THAT fight]
• Michal found out what Molly’s bully sticks are made of [you’ll just have to look it up]

Overall it was an AWESOME weekend. We (and the gucci couch) are ready for more visitors!
