new baby

My friend smiley girl had a baby about six weeks ago. A girl. For as long as I have known her she has wanted a baby. Her life was empty with out a a baby. 'baby, baby baby that's all I ever heard from her. well she finally had the baby. I was nervous for her a while back. I had a fear that something may go wrong. she is older. I had a fear that something may go wrong and if that did what would happen to my friend Smiley Girl. I hate to think.
anyway she just texted me. we had a 'spat? altercation? difference of opinion? she fucking pissed me off yesterday? yes that is it.
Her husband has not been helping at all with the baby, housework meals. nothing. she is not eating properly. nothing, crap or binging. I was eating homemade chicken soup while talking on the phone with her and she was jealous. So I said I would make you some and bring it the next time we meet. Made enough for 6 people . with chicken and carrots and a bag of uncooked angle baby noodles.
As I was making it I was suffering. sometimes I can't cope with smell or taste. The odour from the cooking chicken soup was sour greasy and rotten smelling. I could barely stay in the kitchen as it was cooking. I wanted to throw it out because I felt the chicken was rotten and I did not want to poison Smiley girl or her new tiny baby.
we have a rule in this house. If something smells or tastes off I am not allowed to throw it out without letting D taste or smell it. Most of the time there is nothing wrong. It is something that happens to me every now and then. this scent/taste bug takes over and everything is revolting. anyway I had to suffer through making the soup but since it was for Smiley Girl I persevered.
I brought it too her on tuesday morning. Her husband was out of town for 3 days. there was enough soup to make at least 4 full meals with the meat and veggies. I. brought it to her in a large ziplock bag and put a few smaller bags in the carrier bag. I told her that when she got home she could put the soup into smaller bags and freeze the soup or have it in smaller portions. I should have done this for her in advance but I forgot until the last moment.
so last night she texted me to say the soup was delicious but as it had been heated twice, once when it was originally cooked and this time for her dinner she would have to throw it out.
What? I was pissed. she put the whole bag in a pot instead of ladling it out each time she wanted soup. so she and her husband had a portion each and then
she threw out the soup. that was alot of money and time wated. what a moron. honestly I think what she did was moronic and stupid.
I wasn't pleased and texted her back which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. I was tired and she has a new baby and is not very clever at the moment. she is hormonal and sensitive and I lately have been off my rocker. (another post)
Smilet Girl and I have made up. I shall tell you more tomorrow.

the old house

>it seems like forever since I have written on this blog. In the last year my life has changed intensely. In the last year my life has not changed at all.
We have been in our house for about 1 year and 10 days. funny thing today my mobile rang and it was the estate agent Seymours. They wanted to know if they could bring someone by the old house with a view to buying it. Hello I said we haven't been there in a year. update your file people and by the way who is living in it now? I think there have been 4 renters in the past year. the owner is an asshole extrordinaire and he is not willing to update the house, like remove brown acrylic wall to wall shag carpet from the 70's or lower his price. I understand about the price. when my parents were selling their house they put it up too high. they would not budge with the price. they priced it based on memories. they built the house and lived in it for 44 years and couldn't understand why people weren't willing to pay this unreasonable price for a house that needed serious work and updating. the 3 kids had moved out ages ago,there were no more parties and now the house was sad. It needed a fresh coat of paint and a new family to inject life into it. Every one understood that except my parents. other people didn't put the same worth on the house. eventually they came round. A Chinese family where both parents are doctors live in the house now and have been for 12 years. I have gone by the house when I have been in town and I have snuck a peek in the kitchen window. took colored square tiled flooring out and copper fireplace out. I want to go in and see it but don't think I should. I wasn't there when my parents had a garage sale. my sister was there and said it was very emotional.
So my point of all of this is I think that's the problem with the asshole owner. He thinks it's much better than it is cause 'he lived there for 25 year sand they were happy' he's a builder that's what I don't undersatnd. he wouldn't have to hire anyone. he and his family memebers could fix the place up on the cheap but he's a cheap bastard and won't do anything.
so the place still isn't sold. hope the people who see it tomorrow have an interest, but I doubt it
