cabensonSo last week I had to get bifocals. Uhm, yeah! I have been able to talk the doc out of them for the past 5 years, but I have a new not-as-sexy eye doc and she wasn't budging. This sucked on more than one level because I had bet Mrs CB dinner that I would get out of them again! She gloated all weekend. So anyway, I found a decent pair of frames - Ted Baker Houdini's and opted for the Progressive "no-lines" bifocals. Picked them up on Friday and have been slowly getting used to them. Mrs CB says they make my eyes "pop" so we'll see...
Yesterday we went to see "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". I have to say, as much as I love my HP, I thought the movie was the worst in the bunch. I thought the same about the book, so I shouldn't have been surprised. I am looking forward to the last 2 flicks cause I LOVED that book.
After the movie, we had brunch. I was treated to the most lucious boobage ever from the table across from me. Mrs. CB had to keep poking me to get my attention. And then she said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you something." Now 90% of the time, this usually leads to some type of benign revelation that doesn't really affect me, so I was not overly concerned. This was not one of those times. Apparently, she and her 2 siblings had drunk-planned a spring break vacation for the ENTIRE family for next year at Myrtle Beach. My response: No! Fucking! Way! I love Mrs CB's family, but I could not do 1 week in a confined space with MY family let alone hers. I'm not sure THEY can spend a week together without bloodshed-there was already talk of offing a sister-in-law. There will be itineraries, and meals planned and AGHHHH!!! Fair warning to the elders I will see in NYC- I am not an itinerary/meals planned/set schedule person. I am old and need lots of naps and lots of afternoon drinks, and lots of massages from pretty hotel peoples.
Luckily, Mrs CB had pretty much told them not to expect me to attend. It is an 8-hour drive and that would kill my back and I don't get as much time off as I used to at the Hell Lab. And one of those precious weeks will be spent at Virginia Beach in June when my niece graduates. So for now, I will be tending the boys and the strippers of Columbus that week.
Gotta go grab a shower and head out to run some errands that we didn't do yesterday because we drank at brunch and needed naps.
