family fun

Three family type things to report today.

Spoke with cousin J last night for almost an hour and a half. About the first time in over a year that we've connected. Trip-o-matic! It was really good to catch up and hear what was going on with her and the other cousin types. We've promised to plan a cousin night next time G and I make it back east. Dude and Dudette will have to come along as well.

I admit that all the crap that happened between our parents can still make for an awkward moment now and again, but if we agree to let the embers of those arguments burn out with our parents instead of adding fuel to the fire, we should all be ok.

Speaking of get togethers. Friends of G's family are having a belated holiday afternoon over in Fremont today. I'm trying to choose to be in a good mood about it, but I have enough social anxiety disorder type thoughts to still get knots in my stomach when it comes to meeting new folks. Especially when they're on the husband's side of the family.

In other, less stressful news, Michael Upstairs has his own blog now. I've permalinked to Try Not To Panic over in my various sites column and will be officially changing his LAOD name to Mr. Panic. Partially because it sounds like a superhero with issues, but mostly because I like his blog title.

Aside: He does look like a twisted version of Marylin Manson when in drag. Doesn't he?

Labels: blogging, dose of mikey, looking eastward

He TOTALLY looks like a scary Marilyn Manson! I did a double-take when I saw it...maybe Michael has a career in Marilyn Manson impersonation?

Who knows...stranger things have happened.
