neuroticgirl's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- eeeek Why am I up at this ungodly hour on a saturday morning you ask? Well brace yourself. I'm about to utter a phrase that strikes fear in the heart of every self respecting adult child of a dysfunctional family. Family Reunion Today. Yes, I know, it's scary and it will be tough, it might be the hardest thing I've done all year. But I will trudge through it, listening to everyone tell me how last time they saw me it looked like I lost weight but now it looks like I've piled it back on. I will smile sweetly when they tell me that my green bean casserole could use a bit more oomph. I will laugh merrily when they joke about having more kids. I will try to complete at least one sentence without being interuppted. It will be my mission to compliment everyone reguardless of how horrible they look/smell/act. I will stand really close to the kids so I can stop them at the pass. Before they manage to innocently insult everyone there. Last year X, the oldest, called my aunt "fat, but in a pretty way". The pretty way part was only added when he realized that she was mortified. I will survive this. Godspeed and a safe return. That's what I'm wishing for. 8:19 - 4.21.01 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
