A couple of months ago we added another reciever to our directv account so Sam could have her own in her bedroom. We figured that this would allieviate her from using our bedroom as her own little teenager cave. Not surprising she still uses our room but not quite as much as she used to. I guess we only change sheets once per day now instead of multiple times. We also don't have as many dirty dishes laying around in our room but now I have to retrieve them from her room instead. All in all I would say that nothing really changed except for an increase in our tv bill. After all, isn't that the american way!
Last night Vick informed me that one of her friends from work was coming over for a social visit. What the hell! Social visit! Come on and tell it like it is. Cocktails for the girls! Being an ex-bar owner I am used to being around people having drinks and listening to them puke everything out of their mouth that they didn't want anybody to hear. Actually I rather enjoy it. Makes me want to start drinking myself. Not! If anything, I will fake it and just nod my head or jump in the conversation if the right topic warrants it. I'm not figuring on the latter as there won't be any sports talk or fishing or anything of the sorts. That is ok though. I have the last two division series games left to watch tonight so I will be plenty occupied. I'm glad Vick has some new found friends to come over and do the girl thing. I certainly can't fill those shoes. Miranda does a great job but she is expected to fill the void in my eyes. Takes the pressure off of me.
So as the girls get deeper into conversation tonight and the ugly truths start to emerge, I think I will tiptoe out of the room and find a spot where I can watch the games in peace. After all, what are all those tv recievers for if not to watch baseball.
The other half
