This and that

jmc_bksIt's Monday, which means I should have an SBD post, but I'm struggling to write a post for Readers Gab right now. So SBD may be tomorrow instead.
Mother's Day turned out to be nice, despite an inauspicious start. Invited Mom for dinner, had new storybooks and flowers for her. She and stepdad arrived an hour early. Why? Because he thought it would take longer to get here, he said. Because he was talking on the cell phone while driving and missed the exit to stop for one of their errands, she said. *shrugs* They were welcome, but I was just getting out of the shower after running errands, etc., and dinner wasn't ready. A good time was had by all, and the Lemon Chicken with Asparagus and Rice was a hit, as was the Berry Shortcake. The Computer Guy came over, too.
Plans appear to sort of be made for the family trip to Ireland. It's all in the hands of Organized Aunt. All I want to know is if I need to get an international drivers license and be prepared to drive on the left. And also, if I can just meet everyone at JFK on the day of the flight.
Spent 5 hours in a single meeting on Thursday and again on Friday. Bailed on today's meeting, going back for tomorrow's. Who hired these consultants? Surely there are consultants out there who understand the legal process, yes? These are accountants, which is fine, but only a TINY piece of what goes on in our group.
How did I miss the fact that two of the Dixie Chicks have released their own album under the name Court Yard Hounds. Anybody listened? Opinions? Also, I don't need to add a road trip to Chicago to see the Eagles and Dixie Chicks together, right? Have seen them both separately. Nothing new to see, right?
