reunions& redWine

here i am sitting in my parents un-air conditioned house after watching my sister's bestfriend get drunk & lewed @ my parents 60th birthdayParty; my sister whom i have always regarded as artificial as splenda didn't dissapoint this time either. not only does she sound so flaky that you see the pain her eyes but she is compensating in her new foundGlory with a new sporty german sports car- i see it as a desperate need to forefill something she can't find elsewhere.

it's really hot@ my parents have had the house full of guests& relatives-that i was very glad to see, my grandmother is here, going @ full speed @ nearly 90. the party was fun, i made my rounds connected with relatives & friends. i was complimented on myToast--was given hugs and had a wonderful night. i have been invited up to my grandmothers city in norway; and really hope to make it there sometime soon, really, scouts honor. the humidity is unbearable-i went for a run around the neighborhood this afternoon and was overheated within 30minutes-but got 2 sprints in, even in bakingHot weather it's good to get out of the house, see how the desperateHousewife neighborhood that surrounds my parents are doing.

for the firstTime since coming; i have some soloTime. yeah, forget i wrote that, thebattery just went on the garage door opener; and my grandmother really wanted her walk, now she's here grouchily waiting for my father to come back and remedy something that could have been fixed with one my parents leaving their garage door opener with my grandmother. gotta love family reunions& missing commonSense.

i have to add that seeing my sisters bestfriend who bullied and harassed me in highschool, not only wobble on her ugly highheeled shoes but had No social tact to speak of at my parents party act the way she did-was sad. she hasn't gotten very Far since she left highSchool but has managed to leave her parents house, spent a decade with a navydude-and fell right into something else. she mimicks my sister in many ways when it comes to her codependence and poor socialSkills. i have a drunken sister attempting to make a Toast after too many glasses of red wine stuck inMy head, it reminded me of "clueless."

i feel like i am in surreal life-the only thing missing is the cool celebs and the camera's, being home is like that. a few of my parents friends and i had some great conversations about running your own business& forming relationships and decisions. i have always said that i'd rather be broke& happy than rich and unsatisfied, after seeing my sister the barbie doll incaranate, i'll take reality anyDay-i do prefer it sunnysideUp, with a twist.
