Watermelon...i love it ... a lot.... that is all

So this weekend I got to go to Endicott to go to two days of (e:libertad)'s famly reunions. I was very nervous and overwhelmed getting ready to meet about 80 million people I don't know. Those who know me know i freak out when meeting new people especially full extended familes of them. So we got up early on saturday morning to meet his mom and niece in Rochester at 930 for the drive to the first reunion. When we get there, his niece had decorated a barf bag for me from the plane for the long car ride which was awesome. She is actually quite an impressive teenager in many ways. She deals with everything life throws at her very well and it really impresses me. Anywho, so we went to Coleville Park I believe it was called and on the way his mom gave me the scoop on all the people i would be meeting , even dave was meeting many of them for the first time. The park was really pretty and there was tons of yummo food and i met everyone and everyone was relaly nice. It really was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be> Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The lady who put it all together did a great job getting eveyrone together and getting everythig for it.

We left there around six and went to his aunts house for a bonfire which was nice cuz it was a little more chill and just his direct aunts and cousins , not a million extended family members. That was fun, it seems like a lot of the family lives all in the same neighborhood, even the same block which would be a little overwhelming for me. I guess that is how my dad grew up though where like the whole neighboorhood was his extedned family and eveyrone always got together for everything. AT the bonfire they made me go around and name everyone WHICH I PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS. I am really good at remembering names. I think i am actually gonna write down the fmaily tree tonight while i remember it in case i am ever quized again in the futrue.

So then that night we stayed at his cousin kyle's apartment which was relaly nice. We were too poooped to go out so we watched 40 year old virgin and went to bed. It was realy nice of him to let us stay at his appt. It is nice and i guess he got an awesome deal on it which was cool.

So then today was dave's grandmas' family reunion (yesterday was his grandpas). So it was a lot smaller and now at this point I knew like half the poeple there from the day before. it was at his mom's cousins house and it was a relaly cool old house that she has put a lot of work into. it looks relaly good and her plans for the future for it sound relaly neat. The basement you can see the foundation and it is just all these like rocks stacked together with like trees in between. It is really cool to see. I guess one day poeple who had owned the house years before drove by and stopped and told them about the house and gave them all tese pictures of how it was changed over the years.

OOOH i forgot in the morning before the reunion me and dave and his mom hung out with his grandparents at their house. It was relaly nice, i love toalking to grandparents, i miss having grandparents sooooo much!! I really do. His grandpa was so cute telling me all about his medicines and stuff cuz i work in a pharmacy and like insisted we eat because it would be a whle til lunhc and brought us out like a huge bowl of cashews each and then wehen we wlaked away put yogurts on our seat and insited we eat them. His grandma told us all about this crazy crime going on in town where this rich guy supposedly killed his wife the day before the divorce but there is no body and no crime scene and no weapon but he got convicted but now six years later a man came out with a new memory that he saw the wife slater and so he couldn't have killed him but someone else claism they saw this new man being given bags of money. So i guess anywya a new trial is going on now... can't wait to see what happens

OHHHH and i had for the first time and can't wiat to make/have again grandma kethcums chip dip which is like french dressing and cream cheese mixed together maybe, anywho YUMMO! All in all a lot of driving time but an awesome weekend...

...and later i have to write about how i forget there are any cities between here and nyc and that everyone in the middle of new york does not know about buffalo and consider it there big city.

I love Kathy Griffin a lot of the time. part of it might be that she reminds me of all the best parts of my friend diana but she is really hilar! I love this clip ...here she is...i also LOOOOVE when she does a thing about Anna Nicole Smith on Hollywood Squares, Whitney Houston, and an Oprah/Barbara Streisand encounter. Anywho this clip has special meaning to me , cuz GD was a big part of growing up right paul? We always were only minutes away from a GD! I planned on writing about the party boat bachelorette party but i can't get the video of the crazy older lady and amanda dancing from my phone to my blog so that will be later.

Me and my (e:mom) went to see Julia and Julie tonight. yeah that's right , its not out yet but we had exclusive free preview passes she got at Channel 4! It was really good. It is a true story, well 2 truish stories. One is the story of Julia Child and the other is the story of Julie who is like a disgruntled feels like a waste of life 30 year old who decided to start a blog and blog about cooking through the whole Julia Child cookbook in one year. It seriously was way better than that description may seem. Meryll Streep was amazing as Julia Child and Amy Adams I always love. And the supporting cast was good too. The whole thing was really good and I recommend it when it comes out.

It made me want to start a blog where I write about something and people follow what I write and then they ask me to write a book about it and then it cbecomes a movie like this. But what shall I write about now that the whole Julia Child thing is taken? So i recommend and I recommend making me famous. thank you

The title is just a thing i made with the available words in a refrigerator poetry thing the other day but it seems like a good way to get ahead in life....

...anywho I am so excited I leave for Florida in like 10 hours and it is gonna be sunny and beachy and swimmy and warmalicious! I cannot wait. The flight on the other hand, i could wait for that. Ugh I am gonna try mind over matter and just think "i will not get sick, i will not get sick!". It is def a lot in my mind bevcause when i took xanax one time for it i was totally ok on the flight pretty much. I didn't call my md to get xanax this time which was stupid and so hopefully i survive!! And hopefully there are no terrorists and what nots on my plane. But i think there won't be cuz it is at nighttime and i feel like terrorists mostly work during the day. Better publicity and stuff compared to when people are sleeping. First thought would be terrorists are night people, but really I think they are early risers mostly and get most of their work done during the day. I could be wrong....see ya all next week when i am tan and toned and warm!
