Funny smells and funny stories

by The Diva

Two weeks ago I had to go out of town to attend my cousins funeral. I was away for two days. It was a whirlwind emotional trip with one of my brothers and his wife. The only good thing about the trip was seeing two of my bothers and their wives and of course all of the rest of my relatives including my cousins sisters and her mother who happens to be my only remaining living aunt.

My husband didn’t come with us on our trip. He was working and I don’t think he would have come anyway since we’re in the midst of breaking up. He stayed home and had a bit of a pity party on Facebook and “he says” had his cousin over for a visit. When I returned home on the Saturday the house had a really weird smell. I don’t know what it was exactly … I know my husband is smoking cigarettes again so maybe he had a few cigarettes inside the house. He also likes to smoke cigars every once in a while in fact he used to like Acid cigars so maybe he bought one of those. The house did smell a little cigar like – but not that much.

Anyway .. I wasn’t pleased when I discovered what DH had been up to while I’d been mourning my cousin. I wasn’t happy. Naturally I asked him if he or anyone else was smoking inside the house and of course he said no, but I don’t believe that.

Getting ready for the long weekend

by The Diva

My husbands cousin just dropped by for a visit. He works in a car dealership and repair shop so he’s always driving a new car. Perks of the job. Must be nice, eh!

He was just dropping by for a few minutes to pick something up from our house and check on plans for our big family reunion weekend that’s coming up on Sunday. While he was here he was showing me the latest car that he’s driving. It happens to be an Audi. It’s all supped up – right down to the audi tt custom floor mats that he just got for it. As I said earlier – must be nice!

It seems like every time I talk to someone from my husband family they say they’re going to be at the party on Sunday so I guess it’s going to be quite a big gathering! We’d better get there early to help the in laws! My husband went to their house this past weekend to put up a big outdoor party tent. Hopefully we don’t get any big storms that blow it over before the party!

Helping relatives move

by The Diva

My husband just left to go and help his cousin and his wife move into an apartment.

I’m not quite sure what happened, but they had a house outside the city and I guess they got into some money troubles and had to sell. Their house was on the market for at least six months and just sold about two weeks ago and now, his cousin is moving back into the city. I’m not exactly sure why their moving so quickly .. maybe their house had a fast closing date?

Anyway .. usually I would help with a move, but I’m just not feeling all that well today. So I’m staying home with our dog and my husband is running around helping with the heavy lifting. Hmmm maybe I got the better deal?

I think my husband’s cousin is going to be changing job soon too. He’s been working for a company that transfers data to microfishe … but I think that’s fazing into digital. He mentioned something about getting into Forex trading the last time I talked to him. I think he bought some Forex trading software and he’s been teaching himself how to use it in his spare time. Maybe he’ll figure out how to make some good money on the side – even if he doesn’t end up changing jobs.

Anyway … it’s a late day move … my husband just left the house at 3 pm! I have no idea when he’ll be home. I also think his aunt is feeding the gang. She mentioned something about making Chili when I was talking to her on the phone. Hmmm … maybe Chris can talk her into letting him bring some of her homemade chili home for me? She apparently makes delicious chili. Of course, it probably won’t sit all that well on my stomach … but then, nothing I eat this week has.

A lazy weekend

by The Diva

We’re just having a lazy weekend. We’ve been so busy over the last couple of weeks- traveling and having visitors stay over … it’s nice to try and have a quite weekend.

I say try … because it didn’t exactly work out that way. My husband wanted his cousin (who’s a manager at a Mercedes dealership) to check out our car so earlier this afternoon we took a drive out to his house and let him take the car out for a drive on the highway. Oh and we also took a trip to Costco while we were at it.

Our car got a passing grade from my husbands cousin. It handles well and he couldn’t find any problems with it. Good news!

When we first arrived at Costco I thought it was a mistake going there on a Saturday … we had to line up with our cart just to get in! I thought about looking for the nearest exit signs once I got in there it was so crowded! However, once we started shopping (I headed to the pharmacy first while they went to get some food) it went fast and when we were finished there was hardly anyone in line at the cash registers so I think we were in and out of Costco in half an hour. It might have been our fastest visit yet!

So far we have no plans for tomorrow and I like it that way. I think I’m going to sleep in and then maybe later in the day we’ll watch some movies. Like I said – it’s a lazy weekend!

What are you up to this weekend?
