so huey has accused me of being a story reteller. he says i tell the same story over and over and that people are just too polite to tell me they've already heard it... i, of course, think he's crazy. i think the problem is that he is always around when i tell stories so he ends up hearing the same story six times. i have also been accused of embellishing my stories... sure, sometimes i make things funnier than they are, but honestly... who doesn't like to laugh? i wouldn't really equate this to outright lying, but huey seems to think i'm committing some sort of crime. i, for one, am all for a little humor...
my grandmother, on the other hand, is perfect fodder for this stuff because she is so damn funny that i don't have to embellish. she just says the funniest things all the time! today she had me cracking up for about half an hour because the nurse who was helping in and out of her bed (in what can only be described as a motorized crane with a sling that had my grandmother looking like a stork delivery) was really pissing my grandmother off, mostly because she had a strong accent of some sort so my grandmother couldn't understand what she was saying anyway. she kept asking the woman if she was new... and then because she has alzheimers she'd ask her five minutes later if she was a registered nurse or just a temp. in fact, i think she found about five ways of insulting the woman's abilities in the half hour it took to sling granny from her wheelchair to her bed. i just sat in the chair in the corner typing away on my phone and trying not to laugh as the nurse got obviously perturbed. after the woman left the room my grandmother said "how can she be a nurse? she doesn't even speak english." ah, granny...
so things were doing better today but huey is still having a rough time of it. things aren't coming together like he thought and i have the comfort and reliability of a town i know and a home i love to fall back on... he's just kind of blundering around right now and it's putting a lot of stress on him. hopefully i'll be able to get myself down there in a few weeks to really 'experience' savannah because the last trip was all about getting huey moved in. i'll be drivin myself this time, which will suck, but it's only 3.5 hours if you kinda push the speed limit so i don't think it'll be too bad. i downloaded some of huey's audibooks before he left so i should be set...
in other news, we have another engagement... peters and mia!! and the brady's will be welcoming their baby girl into the world soon so lots of exciting things going on for our friends... it makes me smile.
