Off to Ptown

I am leaving this afternoon for Portland… going home for a short weekend trip. I am quite excited. Yes I am sure you are thinking spankings galore, but I don’t think so, not this weekend… well… we’ll see… yummy fun…

It is in the low 70s here this week, hitting around 45 at night. I know that anyone east of here will scoff, but I have been freezing. So going to Oregon where it is 30 degrees cooler is a bit overwhelming. It truly is amazing how quickly one can acclimate to a climate.

I have been wearing my snow-princess jacket (as Onion refers to it) all week, and have been comfortable. I do not know how I will deal with a sudden drop of 30 degrees, but at least :looking up to sky and pleading with God to let the forecast stay: it won’t be raining this weekend.

The big reason that I am returning home is that my mother is having a ridiculous Christmas Party at her house tomorrow… with her boyfriend (whom I have met once over my birthday weekend). I am excited to go, but my mother is getting out of hand with this thing… in the past it has been smaller affairs with close friends and few family members. This year she is planning on upwards of sixty people. (I haven’t told her how many people I invited… oops).

While speaking to my mother earlier this week I had two revelations told to me. The first was my mother saying, “We’ll you have quite a reputation to live up to.” Upon inquiring about what she necessarily meant by this she replied, “We’ll everyone just knows about my California daughter…” I do not know what this means… has she published my blog address? Has she descended down some road of hyperbole creating expectations that I must now “live up to”? Whatever.

Set the bar low, woman, people won’t be disappointed… and I won’t have to do my “I’m the best daughter in the world” smiley face all night long… just sayin’

The second retarded exciting tidbit shared to me by my mother was yesterday when she told me she has confirmed the photographer. Are you fucking joking me with this? A photographer for your Christmas Party?!? Shore. Whatever. Can you say over the top?

Although upon a last minute conversation with my sister, it has been brought to my attention that perhaps my mother’s boyfriend will be proposing to her at this function. My mothers boyfriend whom she has known and been dating for six months. Now I know I am removed from the situation as I live fairly far away… but a proposal at six months? Although I did have a co-worker tell me that its not like she’s looking for the father of her children, just a life partner… Please don’t get me wrong. I am very very excited for my mom, but I worry about her. But I do not want to jinx anything, or seem like the spoil-sport. I will merely say, “Yay Mama!”


I will let you know on Monday if indeed I am going to have a new step-sister and two step-brothers… or maybe this weekend, you know I am taking my computer… leave without it?!? The Horror…

I hope everyone in this crazy weather is staying safe and warm. Take care this weekend…
