Ok, so it's been awhile. My mom had a hysterectomy due to fibroid growth on her uterus and ovaries, so I was home for awhile with her. Didn't realize it would take a whole month before she was allowed to do things such as, walk up a flight of steps or drive. Dad and Jessie had to work, so I played nurse for awhile. I also found a new gym, which I adore. I got bored at the old one and found one that has everything including: 2 pools, racquetball, beach volleyball, sauna, whirlpool, water aerobics, yoga, pilates, cardio kickboxing. Well, alot of gyms have these last several, but most times they're offered at the buttcrack of dawn and not in the evenings when I like to work out. I'm not rolling my ass out of bed while it's still dark to make a 7:00 AM step class. Screw that! Anyway, on the 18th of August I am going up to Pennsylvania with my immediate family to visit the extended relatives on my Mom's side. There is the annual Renninger reunion that Sunday. So, I'll get to meet relatives I never knew. My dad and I are trying to plot a way to get out of church on Sunday without hurting anyone's feelings. So far, it's not working. What will be our excuse? Have to work? Other pressing engagements? We are on vacation, and have nothing to do so it looks like we'll have to suck it up and go. I don't like that Mennonite church. I can see it now. Dad will be asleep snoring silently, mom will constantly be shifting positions because the wooden pews have no cushioning whatsoever, Jessie and I will be playing hangman, tick tac toe, or writing notes to each other. We haven't been that bored in church since middle school when we went to the baptist church in Tally. Oh well. What we'll do for family. Right? Ok, now I've gone off on a tangent. Sorry about that, folks.
