Critic or just plain rude?

My mother in-law happens to be one of the most critical and negative people in the world.  We are fortunate to live in Philadelphia, one of the biggest cities with the most diverse art collection in the country.  A few years ago we went to see Monet at the Philadelphia Art Museum.  She told us that she painted a much better picture years before from one of those paint by number kits.  She was not joking at all.

My husband has inherited some of her wonderful characteristics.  I know he gets it from her honestly, but all in the same it is still very irritating.  I work full time, I have two small kids, a house, and a dog to take care of.  I make dinner every week night for the family.  Respectful dinners, not frozen ones or instant ones, but ones that take a lot of planning and care.  9 out of 10 times he doesn't say Thank you and I will NEVER get, " wow, this is so good."  Kind of annoying to say the least.  What makes it more irritating to me is that he tells other people when we eat at their houses that he never gets to eat like this...basically demeaning me in front of our friends.

Nice Shiny new watch...must be nice

Ahhh, must be nice to not pay your bills, but to buy a new watch that costs over 300 bucks.  The Crazies stopped over the other night and I just happened to notice the new accessory on my father in-law's wrist!

Yay!  Just what we wanted at 10 o'clock at night, a box of pygmy pears!

Joke of the Day

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

Speaking of Name Changes...

We ran into this guy in Mobile, Alabama who watched the movie "The Big Lebowski" with Jeff Bridges and fell in love with the main character, so he decided to change his perfectly normal name of Thomas Harris to "The Dude."  He said the judge asked him if he was sure that he really wanted to change his name to that and he said, "Absolutely!"  Well a few years later he went to change again, and Thomas said it was 10 times harder to get his name back!

Oh, Just what I wanted!!!! A bunch of moldy peaches!

Another in-law surprise stop by!  Yay!  They brought a big case box of peaches, yummy yummy.  Half of them were rotten and moldy!
