"free" lunch tomorrow. Today I hadda meet with the board of the High-spanic Health Coalition at a local Italian restaurant. I'm not real happy about having to spend my own $ to attend these lunch meetings when I'm trying to be frugal and save lots of dough, but there's not much I can do about it since when you are a board member of something, they rightfully tend to expect you to do stuff like this. Oh well, it just means I gotta cut corners elsewhere. However, tomorrow is our general membership meeting and I do get free lunch at those.
Anyway, I like all the other board members lots, and I got some good news today. They voted to have our annual board member retreat at this silly condo in Galveston. My vote was no but I think I was the only nay. The reason I voted no is b/c it falls on the 2nd Saturday in April and that's when my work/baby schedule shift again due to the 5 Saturdays in March, so beginning in April my weekends off from Job #2 are the weekends w/the baby again and I was looking forward to having our time together back. I certainly didn't want to have to spend all day down in Galveston away from her. So today I mentioned that I didn't know what time I could be there b/c I was going to have to figure out what to do with my daughter (my mom of course volunteered to watch her for me but I just didn't want to have to do that). They all said, "Bring her!" "Really???" I asked, and another board member said if I brought my daughter, she'd bring hers too! Oh... I was touched. Then me and the baby could check out the pool onsite, or even make it down to the beach. S says he doesn't think the baby has ever been to the beach before. So that's the plan now, and I'm happy!
Something dumb happened this a.m. Once again I had the right of way and this knucklehead in a Lexus honked at me b/c he was being a jerk. I shouldn't have done this, (at least it's better that what I did the other day) but when he passed me I looked over at him and stuck out my tongue. He braked and slowed down as if he couldn't believe it or something, and when I passed him I refused to look at him and gave him the ol' stare-ahead. Jerkoff!
M. came very close to being a witness to a robbery last night! He was going into a Dollar Store and everyone there was freaking out b/c they had just been robbed. M. had his little friend with him--in the car. Not a lot of good it does there. I implored him to start carrying it on his person, and gave him all my tips for doing so. Better to have and not need, than need and not have!
