We Are Family...

I'm off to the family reunion tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn. I am so not looking forward to the 12 hour trip in the vehicle. Also, not looking forward to the TALENT SHOW. That's right, talent show. I was informed of this lovely idea the other day. I have no talents so I've determined that if I HAVE to participate then I will put library books in the correct order. I can't wait to see what talent my family comes up with. My immediate family is hoping this is all just some sick joke.

I am hoping to get at least one or two Truman nominees read while traveling. I'm going to pick up some motion sickness meds so that I can actually read in the car and not yack. Should be fun.

I'll blog all about the reunion on Monday! Happy 4th of July!!

Rollin', rollin', rollin' down the river....

It seems my friend Kathy may be floating away soon. It seems that the river flooding may almost reach her apartment building. Poor Kathy has been away for a few days (or forever, it seems like she barely lives in her actual apartment) and this is what she comes home to see?! I had to break the news to her last night.

Meanwhile, I just finished reading a book called Love the One Your With by Emily Giffin. Not as good as her other books. It was about a married woman whose "one that got away" comes back into her life. Does she fall back in love with that guy or refuse to go down that road because she is in love with her husband. Don't get me wrong, this book was good, but I kind of got annoyed at Ellen because she was blinded by this blast from her past.

Well, the fam is gearing up for our family reunion in a couple of weeks. We are to wear family t-shirts and this has proven to be a lot more difficult than it should be. It has to be white and have our family name on it. Apparently, my dad is not known for anything in his family except the following: having a tapeworm, almost getting his finger sawed off (by my uncle), and almost dying from appendicitis. How do you put that on a t-shirt?

Off to read...
