Visited my grandmother today

[exatron]

My family visited my maternal grandmother today, and it was the usual afternoon of strange fun.

I did some simple chores for her, like helping replace a tray under one of her plants and replacing a fluorescent lightbulb on her over.

We went to Buddy's for lunch and had the usual- a large pizza, an antipasto salad, and I split some mostaccioli with my sister since she doesn't like the pizza at Buddy's.

Afterwards, we played Scrabble and a few games of pinochle while making odd jokes and hearing about relatives we don't see very often.

My grandmother kept trying to say that I needed a girlfriend in her own less than subtle way. I really wish I could stop the pointless nagging and tell both of my grandmothers that it's not a girlfriend I want, but I've seen how they react to news that doesn't fit with their beliefs and ideals.

It is late, but I went to Quiznos tonight, it was good.

Every now and then I jump onto Yahoo! games and play a round or two when I'm bored. Bridge bidding is really complicated, it's a code speak telling your partner what you have in your hand, so making the wrong bid can get them very mad. I shoud try Pinochle sometime.

I had the extra problem that my family moved a lot, so I was always the new kid in class, and didn't know anyone.

Good to hear.

Pinochle has something similar where you bid two higher if you have a lot of meld, but can't actually name trump.

Interesting. Most of my friends moved away. Usually just far enough that my parents would grumble if I wanted to see them.
