elvendollbut its ok, right?
argh. its so fucking cold here right now.. gotta remember to ask my mom if i can have the heat turned on for the night - my fingers are nearly numb right now!
the family party went ok...
in some ways it was good to see everyone, and in others it made me realize how disconnected i am from the 'family scene' and how much their bustle just drives me up a wall... i mean it took like 20 people just about 20 minutes to sit down for the meal!
and this isn't the getting in chatting stuff, either, this is after having been there for na hour - 20 mnutes of various people asking everyone to sit down! *sigh*
and poor abigail.. for the few hours she was awake, she was passed around from person to person, touched, kissed and snuggled by everyone and by the end of it she looked so worn out!
hell, by the time we were leaving she almost started crying (and she really doesn't cry unless something is wrong), and only showed signs of calming down when taken outside.
i was the one to carry her into the house, and just the smile that passed over her face when the lights were turned on and she saw where she was priceless!
and since then she has spent the time being smiley, coo-ey and happy...
but c'est la vie... relatives can't be expected to leave a baby that cute alone ; )
i am sure each one of them thought to themselves as to what a good job they were doing not to smother the baby...
also went through another 'my kid is a HS senior, what do i do about the college thing??' conversation...
this was with one of my stepdad's aunts.
who i don't like. well, i don't like her husband, either...
and i used to dispise the kid, too... she's about 4 years younger then me and was a top notch brat when they first moved ot the states, but from what i've seen of her now, she's become quite tolerable, so i was being really nice about the whole thing... even gave them my # so they can call for advice...
and other then that its been a pretty uneventful day...
and i'm off to have some tea with my mom.. if i start feeling babbly again i may write more later...
