So today was the big family Easter type festivities
yes we know Easter is next weekend
yes we also know that normally Easter is a sunday
this was the better day for getting everyone together
at least its better than the year when we did it on a friday and the catholic branch had to explain to the baptists that its still lent and we cannae be eating the meat
but thats neither here nor there
I had predicted that I would be entertaining certain questions and comments by my various family members outside those that might be typical of family outings. These would include:
*Where's that girlfriend of yours?
*Virginia, what the heck she doin there?
*Ya sure it ain't to get away from you?
*What the heck you doin quitting your job, howre you expecting to survive without a source of income?
*Why don't you get a haircut?
*No a real one, not just a trim.
*I got some scissors in the other room, it wouldn't be any trouble.
Surprisingly I only had to deal with the first three. Maybe it's because I didn't actually talk to uncle John or his wife who are usually the more annoying of the two.
Also those who may at anytime be in my area needing medical treatment, a new reason to avoid memorial hospital is now available. My cousin Glen's wife, Destiny, will be working there starting in two weeks. If you've not met her trust me you don't want to.
I caught parts of Narnia while playing cards, it looked like it might be watchable though that boy riding a unicorn bothered me...and why the hell was he charging into battle with his visor up...and why were the sisters off moping rather than ya know helping their brothers with the fighting? Maybe it'd make more sense having read the book or watched the whole movie but like I said I was playing cards and or out of the room.
My cousin Andy is apparently in a collaboration on a book with a friend of his. I weep for the editor that is stuck reading it. He is also apparently interviewing for a job working for the state of Colorado forestry department which might be nifty, it would at least give me another reason to smosey out that way besides its fucking pretty.
