Hmm. 2nd attempt at this. I tried to drag a photo into the attach thing below & it just displayed it in this tab. Hit back & presto - no blog!
We had a week off to visit family & give out xmas presents. Normally I don't do xmas, but... whatever.
We visited Pinklet's lot first. My father-in-law likes to break out the booze, (particularly whiskey,) & get me drunk. I enjoy letting him. We also caught up with Pinks' sister & her fiancee & several friends & watched Freddy vs. Jason (my choice - stupid but fun,) & played Singstar (I ruled "Easy Like Sunday Morning".) & treated everyone to a viewing of our wedding pics. (Some had been there but not seen pics, others hadn't made it.)
I got a Lego Viking keyring & my in-laws bought me a remote control indoor quadricopter & a snap together Darth Vader's Tie fighter. How fucking awesome?
Then we went to see my Dad's side of the family, including my Dad, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, cousin & her BF. My other cousin was absent, but my Aunt still teared up at having us all together. Bless.
We showed wedding pics (again,). My Grandma is starting to look frail, but at 92, after a bad fall & with diabetes... well she's not doing so bad.
Than we got a call from my mum saying my stepdad had been rushed into hospital with breathing difficulties. He's been bad for a while & has a problem involving emphezema (sp?) & other issues, on top of ashtma. We visited him & I could see he was really embarrassed at us seeing him like that. Knowing the best he can hope for is not to get any worse... It was scary. He's raised me more, than my Dad & even though I've never called him Dad (at his request I've always called him by his first name,) that's how I think of him.
I don't really know what to say. I can't really think about it too much but then I feel guilty for not thinking about him.
Anyway we did some other cool stuff. I made Space Invaders out of the jellybean hearts on the table at my Aunt's.
& we got a cool new shower curtain:
& we picked up the copy of Bioshock 2 that Pinks pre-oredered. Cool so far but definitely more difficult than 1. I had a go on multiplayer tonight & got my ass handed to me, (bottom 3 or so every match,) apparently by 12 year olds from the voices of a couple of them. I don't play online much & I think this is probably why.
I sincerely hope all is well with you & yours.
