Yesterday was my sister Pam's birthday, and today we celebrated by getting together at the park. We had a good time, even though it was kinda cool & windy, and I'm still recovering from my impromptu road trip to NJ and am still feeling rather nonsociable. I think I wore out my people-quota for a while with all the funeral stuff last week.

I was going to post this picture a couple weeks ago (seriously, has it only been two weeks? It feels like it's been a heck of a lot longer!):



This is a picture my dad had the day we went to see my Grandma that last time, and I stole it to scan it. This is a bunch of us when we were little down at Owens Bottom. I'm probably four or five in this picture; it was forever ago. But there are SO MANY pictures we have like this, of a bunch of us just hanging out together, and it reminds me that no matter how fucked up my family is, it's still a family. Even if we're not all blood-related. Also, I can't believe how little people have changed over the years and how recognizable they are. (I saw SO MANY people at MawMaw's funeral that I hadn't seen in YEARS. And, as always, a number of people I don't even remember.)

SoxFest was yesterday; I'm gonna put pics of the kids up on myspace from that. I'm trying to stay positive about our new affiliation, but everytime I hear their latest changes, I just wanna roll my eyes and stomp my foot and demand my Avalanche back. We'll see how the season goes. Opening day is April 9th, but I can't make that game, so the first game I'll see this season is April 10th.

Next weekend we're gonna hit the stands at Motor Mile Speedway! My cousin Taylor is racing. I'm pretty excited about that; I like the races.

Only 13 actual work days before TEXAS! That is the shiny, happy spot of my life right now. Texas and Wendy and Andrea and Heather and concerts and YAYES!!

There are probably other things I meant to talk about, but I won't right now. I really think weekends need to be longer; two days just isn't enough time to get everything done. <3
