it's been a long time....

it's been such a long time since i touched this blog...well, now i have four blogs, so it's kinda difficult to update all of them regularly. since this blog is for me to rant (because i can't rant in my usual blog because mom and dad can read it), now i'm going to rant.

but about what? ummmmmmmmmm, actually my life has been pretty simple. i've been eating and sleeping well...too well, actually. i go to bed around mignight and get up around 9. the wather has been great, too hot some days, but i certainly don't mind that. maddie the mad dog is such a sweetheart. it's so nice to spend time with her although she can be a pain in the you-know-what sometimes with her excessive barking and licking. but hey, when you look into those eyes, you just give in.

ummmmmmmmmm...what else can i try to rant about? my father-in-law i guess. he's still the pain in the you-know-what to many people the same way he's been for over 60 something years i think. boy, can anybody be more negative than him? the quiet moment of the day that marianne can enjoy is in the morning before he starts to 'move' around. that involves yelling for marianne and making his list of things for other people to do for the day. i guess he thinks that if he doesn't tell them what to do, they can't figure out for themselves and the house will fall apart. and it has to be done HIS way. oh no, don't even try to suggest that there's a better way of doing things. it's MY way and MY way only. i really don't know how marianne does it. the kids have certainly been affected by his behaviors. and the saddest part is he doesn't even know what he has done. do this, do that. that should take about 5 minutes with no effort at all. uh, yea if you don't have to do it yourself, i guess that shouldn't take any time. huh, all right. i should stop. at least he's always nice to me...but if he said anything about my dried fish (ปลาเค็ม) being an 'acquired' taste again, i'm gonne tell him 'hey, if you can eat kimchee with pizza and cornbread, you're getting there too." yes, he's been eating kimchee for dinner everyday and with EVERYthing.

ok, i hope talking about my father in law like this is not going to bring me bad karma. at least it's better than saying something bad directly to him, right?
