so ---ooh, blogger has changed its layout. don't really like it. oh well. fuck. anyway.

Party at the parents' place, august - ahhhh - 14. saturday. anyone in the northeast-area of the country is welcome (parents appreciate prior notice). so. parents have reasons for a party:

brother graduated college
parents have been married 25 years
mom's thing is in remission, or whatever it's called when it isn't cancer, but is in remission - whatever
and my sparkly.

family-dad is coming. family-mom is coming. local-friends are coming.

So a party. and they're apparently going all out and getting a tent and stuff. nice that i knew this was all going on for before i'm actually there visiting home. so m gets to meet the other half of my family, i.e., family-dad. i mentioned probably the only times he'd see them, other than this particular gathering, are at our wedding, and if my one remaining single cousin gets married and if we happen to go. or i suppose funerals. i like my one remaining single cousin. but i can't really picture her having a massive, all-out wedding, somehow. i don't know. and - haven't seen her since ... since ... since ... when did grandma die? six years? maybe? no, seven. yeah. so they're not so big on the family-junk.

Bet m's family would like the family-dad, though. and my aunt K and m's aunt C are the same, same person.

still, nice to know in advance.

mmmm, hungry. lunch-time. Only m&m's at work. and some bastard is making hungry-smelly-food in the microwave. hmmm, let's see: something with cream of mushroom soup in it? broccoli? or is that asparagus? i bet it's fettucini alfredo from a frozen-box. probably lite, too. ugh.
