Ok, I’m getting ready for my family reunion…mentally ready, that is. Haven’t packed a thing. What is it about getting all your aunts, uncles, cousins, daddy’s first, second and third wives, not to mention the other siblings I never knew about ALL together for the sake of a UNION?? I mean family reunion’s are supposed to be full of fun and laughter and ‘remembering when’.

And I”m going to be optimistic that it will be — my uncle won’t be drunk and try to dance with me, my long lost cousin won’t try to holler at me and my other cousin WILL NOT show up with a ‘new one’ on his arm only to piss off his latest wife (or girlfriend, which ever she happens to be). That’s right — I’m going to have happy, positive thoughts and a REALLY BIG GLASS OF RED WINE. The one good thing that comes out of all of it, is at least I have FAMILY – dysfunctional, but still FAMILY. Gotta lov’em!
