You never quite know where to look when someone is breast feeding, do you? Especially if it's your cousin. Do you totally avoid looking in their direction? Do you acknowledge the situation? "Heh, that lil guy sure is chomping down." Or do you look at the person, but never even make any sort of look below her collar.
So I just got back from my three day family reuion in Orange County. We flew into John Wayne airport on Monday and I got home Thursday night. First of all, the fact that John Wayne has his own airport is awesome. After that, we get to this sorta campground slash lodge type place where I met up with 75 of my closest relatives. While I didn't smoke ALL WEEK! (go me!) I was in some state of drunkenness throughout the course of my entire stay.
So we have these big family reuinons every five years, and I honestly can't ever remember anyone except my first cousins who i see more than every five fucking years, but I swear there's some super memory gene that other people in my "family" have that somehow has them running, or waddling, or stumbling up to me (depending on age, weight, ect) and saying how they remember when I was so little and how they can't believe how much I've grown. I've gotten this bullshit my entire life, and I really don't think it's possible for me to double in size every five years.
But this reunion was pretty fun and fairly drama free (see: 2nd cousins fucking like monkeys and getting engaged on the spot at the last one)
So I'm home now, and working Fri-Mon as well as till 9:00 on the 4th, which sucks.
Oh, also for the talent show, our family (my fam + 1st cousins) did a number from Grease when all I wanted to do was a little diddy from my favorite musical, "Day Bidet"
