We then spent the rest of the afternoon babysitting my cousins, talking with my wonderful aunt, and eating dinner with them before traipsing back home. This is why I love living closer to family:
The bad: I thought the whole election drama was over. Apparently, it’s not. I don’t want to get into it much, but basically my parents and grandparents and aunts are gossiping about me and are worried about my “mortal soul” and think I’ll be going to hell. It’s insane, I don’t even want to share that…because…it’s embarrassing, frankly. My family is so much more loving and intelligent than that. I’m honestly afraid that this election has permanently hurt some relationships.
I merely put a magnet on my car. And disagreed when my father claimed that Obama was racist. That was the entire conversation.
Thankfully, I have a wonderful aunt who loves and supports and defends me. And a sister and husband who are in the same situation as I am… It’s just weird to go from being so loved and respected to being treated like…this.
Oh, and that car? The one that we bought from my aunt and uncle and promptly broke down? It won’t start. Again. It’s seeming more and more like we will never sell it. And now we have to get a new timing belt for our functional car. Let’s just say we’re not in the best of situations with that thing called money right now. It’s so frustrating and disheartening and I just want to start throwing punches or something.
The FYI: Remember that whole photo blog thing? Well, I’m going to dust it off and start to posting my pictures up there more regularly… (Yes, I say this right before a 5-day weekend and 8 more days of NaBloPoMo and a Top Secret Thing which is taking all my time. I’m ambitious.)
