it looks like it is going to be beautiful outside. i dont know how much fun we will be having - i think it all depends on how J feels today. i feel bad becasue he gets sick every time we have a long weekend (which means everytime theres a holiday/family function) he also gets out of it.
i really like my family. I love them yes, but love is usually an obligation one feels toward your parents. I actually like them. I play jedi knights in the yard with my dad and we argue over who gets to have obi wan's light sabar. and i love going to dinner with them. Over the past 2 years of not living with them, I have developed a similar relationship with my dad that I had as a child. You know pre period age. We'd tromp through the woods and build model rockets we;d watch sci fi movies together (well my mom was there too) but she didnt like monster movies like we did
Growing up was always a trip. 80% of the time my pops was off recording/touring/living in nyc while me and my mom were in ohio. he was away when puberty kicked in and around 13 he quit his label to shop around - which caused for a lot of frustration and mis- communication between he and I. which continued up until i was around 22/23. he hated my ex. i think he always saw the guy as holding me back. which he did. and after the 6 year year teen relationship ended my dad started to come around a lot more and we started to become friends.
So my parents went to hardcore shows with me and we'd drink together and go out - Sat night became hang out with my parents night. I usually had more fun drinking with them than I did drinking with my friends.
(my parents did not look 38 and 39...they still dont look almost 40 and my mom is now 43...geez my mom is a hottie and runs 5 miles a day and should model fb becasue she is still cool..)
i am not sure where i was going with all this. oh..going to see my family.
See I look forward to seeing them. J and i have been living together for almost 2 years and i have gotten even closer with my parents and i really look forward to seeing them. They live sorta by my job (about an hour away) so I try to visit once a week but during Grad school it didnt always happen and my dads on the road for work half the time so I see him even less than my mom. So going to visit them, especially with J is fun for me. I am trying to have some sort of bonding between J and them so they like him and are happy we are happy.
so i hope j feels better so he can come to family dinner tomorrow and meet my other favorite realtives!! (both my cousin on my dad;s side and my moms great and and uncle- all in one place!!!)
I really like my family it seems. It's a small family but fun.
