Okay my loyal followers, it’s been a while. I hope you all are having a wonderful and safe holiday. We will be updating more often coming 2017. We’ve been very busy toward the end of this year. But we’re organized and got caught up now. LOL
And speaking of holidays….. My parents paid a surprise visit to me and The Hubster for Christmas. Noticed I said to me and the Hubster and NOT Mutual Friend. Reason? Because they don’t realize that he actually lives here. I mean really lives here. Like has his own bedroom and bath. Has some of his decorating touches, pot and pans, and his car in our garage. So what did we say when my mom called from the airport and say, “We’re here! Come pick us up.” We freaked out. But not to worry, we had it all under control—Kinda. LOL You see when ever my mom or step dad come to visit, they always give us a warning, at least a few days. That way, we can make it look like that Mutual Friend is just visiting. But lately, the parents have just been dropping by, especially if they are visiting friends and relatives on the east coast. Now my step dad lives in Miami, my mom in Los Angeles, and even though they’ve been divorced for some time, they are still friendly to each other and talk and have the same friends. They visited my step dads’ relatives. They are from East Germany too. They’ve arrived to the United States, after the curtain fell. My step dad escaped before the curtain fell in the 60s. That’s another story. Anywho, so they are on the east coast and they said hey, let’s visit our daughter—but don’t tell her. So I drive like a maniac to the airport, while the Hubster and Mutual Friend try to make it look like he’s visiting too for the holidays. Thankfully, my parent don’t go around my house looking in cabinets, closets and such, so Mutual Friends’ room was off limits to them. I had them waaaay on the other side of the house in the other guess bedroom. LOL When they arrived at the house, they were like: “Oh nice seeing you again” They know that Mutual Friend and the Hubster are like brothers, so seeing him here for the holidays isn’t too crazy. But if they saw his room and closet…..man! We would have some ‘splaining to do! Here is the other hard part about having the parents over. Mutual Friend has to keep his affection down. He and I have to act like good friends, not long time lovers. Now THAT’S awkward. So what does Mutual Friend tell my parents when they ask what he’s been up to lately? Working (he and the Hubster are still business partners in the Special Effects Industry), traveling overseas, spending time with other friends and family, yadda, yadda, yadda. Basically, stretching the truth like taffy! LOL They ask how his love life is. He nearly chokes every time. He says he has another girlfriend. Mom says he needs to settle down at his age, he’s such a good-looking man. Yeah, we want to fall out laughing. Mutual Friend also has to watch how comfortable he is at the house. Now true, he and the Hubster are close and you expect familiarity, but you can tell when someone is comfortable and familiar and TOO comfortable and familiar! And yes, I know you’re wondering if Mutual Friend got any during my parents visit. HELL NAH! Conversations would start off kinda stiff but then loosen up as the day went a long. The one thing that was our saving grace was the house across the street from us. We told my parents about that, so that took up a lot of conversation. For those of you that remember, there was a big sex trafficking bust. My parents were like: “Wow, you just don’t know what people are into these days!” So you see, even though it was a surprise visit, we were able to get our act together. Now you maybe thinking, that my parents already know. Are you kidding! I’m mommy’s little angle and daddy’s little princess. Now they might think something is up, but not know what exactly, especially every time they show up, Mutual friend is here. But he did tell them that he lives not far from us, and it just so happens that he’s visiting us and not the other way around. And if the parent ask if we can go to his place, Mutual Friend never has the place cleaned up or in order. Or he’s having it fumigated. LOL Yeah, I know lame, but it works. If it’s not snowing, we take the parents around, go to breakfast, lunch, dinner what have you. I shop with mom, catch up with dad—you know, the usual stuff . We never leave them alone with Mutual Friend. The Hubster and I need to be there, so he can take visual as well as spoken cues from us. He’s quick, but sometimes the parents can ask something that might through him a curve. Now you maybe asking, why not tell them? Are you kidding! LOL Look it’s bad enough with strangers sometimes, but my parents? Really? All in all, our holiday was great. We exchanged gifts, we had laughs, good food and fun. And this morning I sent my parents back to the states. And hopefully, they don’t have a clue.
