It's My Place: Paddy Bread

Paddy Bread

The conversaion between the Eating Machine and me this afternoon:

Me: We need to go to the commissary to get a few things.
P: Good, we can get some paddy bread.
Me: What is paddy bread?
P: I'll show you when we get there.

We went into the commissary, and I followed her around looking for the elusive 'paddy bread'. About 15 minutes later, she found it. What is paddy bread, you ask?? It a package of hamburger buns. I asked her about the name of the bread:

Me: Why is it called paddy bread?
P: Because on SpongeBob, they use it on the crabby paddies.

I tried to explain that they were patties and not paddies, but I started to get a splitting headache, so I gave up. Once again, I am picking my battles, and now that I think about it, she DID crawl early!

P's friend J is with us for most of the weekend.

Her mom went on another shopping trip for crystal. I swear, it's an addiction. Once you start, you tend to want EVERYTHING in the set, and if you break or lose a piece, you MUST replace it. While attempting to replace the broke/missing piece, you realize that your pattern is OBSOLETE, so you must start the adventure again. I know a person with 5 different sets of crystal, each missing ONE piece. After the first set, the next 4 sets were replacement sets, each replacing the prior set which was now 'incomplete'.

We have no real plans for the weekend. Maybe we'll just wonder aimlessly around the city.

About 10 months ago, I loaned one of my brothers some money. He PROMISED he would pay it back in 6 weeks. It's now about 30 weeks past the deadline and I still have no cashola. I have asked him for the money 5 times. His latest 2 excuses as to why I don't have my fundage yet:

The bank wants to charge $65 to wire the money **nevermind that I PAID $45 to get him the money!**
He sent it, but the envelope was returned because the address was wrong **I've had the same address for the last 6 years and have received other mail from him**

Moral of the story? Don't loan money to family. The closer the relation, the more likely you are to NOT get the money back.

It's now 10pm, and I am the ONLY sleepy soul in the house. It's gonna be a LONG night!
