The Nanna day went off without a hitch. We left at 9:00 and got home at 5:00. She went to every store/flower shop/grocery market possible. She bought Adidas climacool shorts for gardening, a tank top with a shelf bra, a papaya and a baseball hat... among a hundred other random items. We ate lunch and shared cheesecake for dessert. She told me over and over how much she appreciated getting away from home and out on the town for a change. At every juncture she said she wished Ally was there with us because we had so much fun last time. She actually said that so much that my little sister got a little miffed and was all "Am I not fun enough?" To which the Nanna replied, "Oh Meg, it's just that Ally and I laugh so much!" She's too cute.
The highlight of the day for me occurred at lunch and was non-Nanna related. We went to the pub she wanted to go to where my Aunt is head cook. Said Aunt was too busy to pop down and talk so before we left I was sent upstairs to say goodbye. The first thing my Aunt said to me was "Where's your woman today? Working?"
Where's my woman?!?!? This from an Aunt I barely know. What's going on here? Of course my response to the question was "..................... yes. She's working" So my Aunt continued on "Oh that's too bad. Nanna really wanted her to come. Next time for sure. You two should stop by more often! Did you get her something to go?"
I had the goofiest grin on my face for the rest of the day.
Now I'm on the fast track to being late for work. Not good on a day when I need a favor from the boss. I should motor.

What I hear: A sambesque song in Spanish by a group named Bet e Stef or something like that.
