Pale Green Things

Kevin was at work and I was bored. My purse was falling apart at the handles and instead of waiting until it busted before buying a new purse, I went out and found one. GREEN. And cheap ;)

My mom planned to make Irish dinner today because Tuesdays are busy and she wouldn't be able to make a St. Patty's Day dinner then. Also, it was Kevin's first day of work so she wanted to make something special.

My aunt (who has lived with my grandmother for over a decade and is now moving out) called my mom to come over and unlock the door since my grandmother changed the locks and my aunt needed to get her things. My parents and another aunt headed over there thinking they would unlock the doors, she'd grab her things, and be done.

However, they were in for a surprise when they showed up to find out my aunt hadn't even packed the things she had to get out and also to see that my grandfather's old office (he passed in 2000 and the room was always almost sacred to me.. I never wanted to enter it or touch anything) was PACKED TO THE DOORWAY with crap. This isn't including the rest of her crap that has built up through her years of living there.

After nearly 2 hours, my mom had had it and told my aunt to tell the aunt moving out that it was time to go and she needed to call my grandmother to arrange other plans of moving the rest of her things out.

We didn't eat until 7p tonight (our usual dinner is around 5:30p). But, despite the delay, it was absolutely delicious -- potato soup and Irish soda bread. YUM.

Pictured is my new purse ;) Well, part of it..
