b12 - we are family
Bakers Dozen c/o KB via ej.
- Come home, pack a lil, clean a lil, and get ready to attend my family reunion in B'ham.
- My future son-in-law graduates from college. Congrats, future fam.
- Hit the road. If this child of mine sings "Itsy Bitsy Spider" one more time (his equivalent of 'are we there yet?!!!') I'm gonna scream.
- My first impression of B'ham, Saturday afternoon: "Where is everybody?"
- I take a mini-off-the-beaten-path tour. The Damn Yankee in me is over B'ham as soon as I hit the B'ham streets...
- ...while the "conscious" person in me wants to inhale every piece of AA history B'ham offers. A return trip is already planned.
- I meet the family. I am completely overwhelmed. More on this later.
- We eat, we drink, we dance, we're merry.
- Hammy's craving for attention is slightly overshadowed by those of his cousins. It must be hereditary...
- I hit the road at 10:30PM EST, and force my truck to outrun Dennis. Didn't know that my lil ole SUV can go faster than 140MPH, did'ja? Neither did I.
- My zen/dopefiend moment of the trip: passing an 18-wheeler, sheets of rain blurring my view, doing about 75MPH on I-20, on a strip of road with no shoulder, thru the Talledega Forest, where I see a sign - "Beware of Falling Rocks". I.am.never.doing.this.dopefiend.shyt.again.
- It is better to have Liked...then liked, than to have fallen in Lust, only to have never loved at all.
Yeah, I fell in Like, then out of Like, then figured out I really liked, so I needed to avoid falling in Lust, which would've led to not falling in Love. Make sense?

Hmmm... you were in B'ham at the same time as the hubby... the threat of Dennis was no joke, he was telling me about it on the way back, but I never got an update on how it actually went down. I hope everyone in your family was unaffected. =) Glad you had a merry time with the fam. *waiting for the details promised later*
