Well the tv/dvd/recorder/tivo sago goes on. We didn't look at it last night, we went out to dinner (much more fun) and went to buy cables to help the endevour. After gagging at the prices at best buy, we went to target and picked some up. Got home to late and went to bed. Tonight is visit with relatives night. Only tonight its my side of the family. My brother is coming in from Westerville OH. (yes books, westerville) and my Dad is throwing a late christmas Dinner for us all. My husband for some reason is not happy about this. Maybe because he doesn't like greek lamb. Maybe because he wants to be home working on the electronic boutique in our living room. Sigh, well I am sure it will be a nice night anyway. I see my brother Sam about once a year so I am excited. He is/was my big brother and he was the one that protected me from the bullies. I remember him chasing one guy down that mocked me. We were all playing hide and seek and the kid rode by on his bike. I was the searcher and was counting. Sam came running out of hiding to grab the kid by the back of his collar and pulled him off the bike and told him not to say things like that. Wheeee. Yeah for the little guy. Or gal that is. The ugly duckling. My brother stood up for me. It was a moment that I will always remember. He is an artist and taught me how to paint. He was also willing to camp in the backyard with me and the family cat named Fartalot. (and he did) Heck he was the one that held my head the first time I drank too much, WAY too much and puked in the frat house toilets. We won't say anything about it being HIS frat house that got me in that state. Anyone remember their first hangover? well, I never drank till college, so no hangover (or way to judge too much imibing till too late). I am sorry that we haven't been as close since he got married. But he is happy and that is what is important. I am thinking of the happiness and love that We3 and her brother have and they are in my thoughts. I know that I could always count on my brother to stand beside me and cover my back if I needed, even if we are close, we are family. We know that. Yep, I will have some fun tonight, even if it is not electronic fun.
