Hello, I'm back from my week hiatus from blogging. I just returned from a delightufl holiday in the city. Well, more like the cities and small towns, but still. I would like to say I made a full recovery from my little run-in with Mr. Mean Musical Man. Though get well presents are still begin accepted, I prefer cash or sparkly things. The trip was highly uneventful, but most enjoyable. We started off with a few days doing absolutely nothing at the lake, followed by a rousing drive to the cities with a trip to UofM for my dad and I to talk to a freshamn counselor about some ?'s, then off to the Mall of America to retrieve my sister and rest of family. My dad and I got a short bit of shopping in, I found some new jeans that actually fit. I don't think I've ever owned jeans that fit. I have no butt, so they are always lose, but it is no more. I also found a really expensive, but really pretty shirt which i bought myself as a b-day present. then it was off to Macaroni Grill for some good italian food, and then the used book store, where I didn't find many things on my list, but i still found many things. Then finally we went to the museum, which turned out to be simply a photography exhibit, but it was very interesting, and then since the science museum was a block down visited that too. and we capped of the cities with a trip to Albertville, where I found more jeans, a new wrap sweater and Calvin Klein bras! It was a good trip.
Once we arrived back at the lake, my mom had the great idea that since my Grandma's cabin is only a few minutes away we should have to quality relative time. Booo relative time. So we get to my grandma's cabin, and my uncle opens the conversation with So Wonder Woman, how are you going to fit in in California? You know, what are you going to do so you don't stick out? Now how do you respond to something like that? I don't think you can. Things settled down to pretty normal(by my families standards), the kids get kicked out on the porch to eat, kinda like dogs, and the adults sit inside. We did get to use the metal silverware on the porch though, but I've heard it can blow away. Then my grandma comes out and starts a new conversation with You know there has been quite an outbreak of Whooping cough here. 300 cases in the state. Say, (to my cousin) you haven't been immunized have you? No, I didn't think so. you know it's realyl contagious, and can be deadly, so if you get a cough at all you need to go right to the doctor and tell them that you've never been immunized for whooping cough. Then she goes on with, you know there could be an outbreak of small pox too. With the way people travel these days, it could be and epedimic. (looking right at my cousin and I, who just returned from Ukraine and Germany.) My grandma the conversationalist. And they wonder why I don't want to go to family reunions and meet more of my relatives. I know plenty thank you very much. Well, I think I've talked for qiute long enough. Have a happy day.
