More Gab from Gma

It is not my intention to make this into a blog about grandmothers. 
HOWEVER, with that being said, I would hate for any one of our 20 readers to miss out on the terribly awkward conversation i had the fortune of walking in on over the weekend...

Grandmother to my Mother: "You look so great, I'm so happy to hear everything is going well.  We love having you visit.  Also, I want you to know we pre paid for our funerals earlier this week."

QUIZ:
Q.) How did I cope with this awkard situation?
A.) Innapropriate Humor.  "Well then, I'm glad we kept that receipt."

Awkward Tuesday Night Chats

We've reached the point at Club Belmont where we're all comfortable and settled in with each other.

And while this is lovely that we've become a borderline functional, wine drinking family, it sometimes creates interesting conversations that end with us using sarcasm to calm our nervous laughter.

Usual items on our To Do list:
  • Discussing ways to make residents' significant others feel as uncomfortable and creeped out as possible when they visit.
    • Ideas include: 1. Lining up in the living room for the CB vetting process. 2. Making "WELCOME _____!" signs, balloons, and using excessive cheeriness to welcoming them into our home. 3. Sitting in a corner with only candles lit, wrapped in our house coat and slippers while drinking whiskey & smoking a cigar. (What I'm saying here is that we're idea people)
  • Plotting group speed dating outings and confessing former ways used to meet men (trick of the trade: MBA info sessions are a gold mine ladies)
  • Trying to make a Club Belmont sporting team - volleyball - but we're holding try outs and it's looking like a lot of us might not make the team.
  • Why we're sitting in the living room by ourselves watching Criminal Minds and eating a block of cheese.
  • DFMs (you know what I'm saying)

Is this how all 20 somethings live? Please say yes.
