The Day After!!!
Wow!My family is so special. Years ago I couldn't get along with my siblings. They're bossiness and judging kept chapping my hide so I stayed away from them. What wonders come with aging. We all get along now and they're are more hospitable and generous.
Earlier in the week sister Mercedes called me and asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday. Did I want a home cooked meal? I said, "How about a can of chili beans and cornbread"! She scolded me for being silly. I thought it was hilarious. She then said, "OK, come over Saturday and we'll have something". That was great because I've never had a meal I didn't like.
My kids came along, except my daughter from Portland, and so did my nephew and his family. What I am going to say now pains me immensely, but a niece called and asked me what was going on. I didn't want to lie so I told her. The painful part is these same sisters refer to her as a moocher and freeloader. She's not! She is generous and very sweet. What happened then was what I wanted she came "uninvited". I was happy she was there!
The remarks occurred under their breath but as the get together progressed they stopped. My kids and my nephew love her and they kept her in conversation. And as things further progressed we all ate some pizza, spaghetti, cake and we had lots of fun and laughter. Pictures were taken and laughed at because I was really acting up. Sister Merc even said, "Hey, the party turned out great".
I came home with lots of leftovers because I've never turned a leftover down and I had some this morning before 9 a. m.! Why am I saying this? Because after we gorged ourselves I am on a liquid diet because I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning!
At this moment I am drinking lots of liquid and in 4.5 hours I begin the purging process. So, I am going from feast to famine. The story of my life all underscored by a party one day and a purging the next.
When I was at the pharmacy getting the purge liquid the pharmacist, a sweet and very timid Oriental lady, explained to me the process. She explained that I would flatulate a whole bunch. I replied, "No problem. I'm a guy". She "kinda" smiled and I left.
I only hope I don't miss too much of the Super Bowl hitting the "library" continuously!!!!

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!
My family is just the opposite. Fallen apart.
I have been the peacemaker for many of it but it is no use.
Yeppers, especially with this niece. She is so sweet.
bc!
It hurts and hurts! It did me for so long. My sisters have always had the attitude that I'm wrong they're right. I would tell them off and severely and it was like hitting my head against the wall with their obstinance. Stubborn to the core.
Because of my alleged inability to see their way I was always eliminated from their parties. The irony is they couldn't understand we all have our own lives and to tarnation with their parties. I didn't want to go anyway!
Hanli!
