and the livin's easy. Damn I'm glad to be back in my itty bitty little cozy cottage house near the little cozy lake. We were at my Sis in laws new "Big Ass House" on Saturday for a Luau party (as I mentioned in a previous post) and I must say I had a super nice time. Curious though, that the only thing "Luauish" there were the leis that we got at the door. The theme died after that. Hmmmmm.
Anyhoo, the weather was perfect, everyone who came was chatting, and laughing, and eating, and drinking and just enjoying the day at Casa de Big Ass House. We left a bit later than I thought we should have, and the ones who were too many sheets to the wind to count were starting to get on my basic nerves with the usual "I love you man" bullshit, to which I told my drunk-in-law Lonnie to quote, "Just shut the hell up" to which he asked, "Why?" and I replied, "just because", to which he mumbled, "okay". Brilliant.

We arrived at my folks house to stay the night waaaaay later than I had hoped, thanks to Hubby, but that's a whole other story. Needless to say I was tired, and not happy with Hubby. Grrrrr.

On Sunday, we headed to my brothers old house, (he's divorced, and his ex-wife lives in the house with the kids), for my nephew Mikes 13th birthday. It was the first time since the divorce 2 years ago that we and they have all been at the house at the same time. Finally, some of the weirdness is going away. We had a nice time, with lots of great food, and conversation. But, unlike the day before at Casa de Big Ass House where we were for like 8 hours, we left after only 2 hours. This happens frequently. Another story for another time.

By the time we arrived home, I felt like I was run over by a steam roller from lack of sleep, rushing around, tension. Glad to be back home in the comfort zone. In my little lake cottage bungalow. Ahhhhhh.
