So, last night we had a family dinner. These are always interesting for me because I get to listen to some of the most interesting or most boring conversations ever at these things. Last time, they talked for about 2 hours on the topic of insurance. But, this time they talked about pot. I had to stop and listen harder because I was sure I was mistaken by the topic. Many times my ears will deceive me or the word I hear actually means something totally different than I first thought. But, no. I was correct. One of the brothers asked the other brother where he was getting his information from and he said that he subscribed to a marijuana newsletter. Keep in mind, this was a family dinner...parents, the adult children...

Tonight we (Jo, Hannes, Elaine, Alex and some other random people) are going to Karaoke night at the Irish Pub. It should be a good time, or at least I am hoping it is a good time. I think I want to sing something tonight...but, I'm not quite sure what. I was trying to figure out what songs I know relatively well...or at least songs I wouldn't suck too badly at singing... It probably has to be something sung by a girl band like the Donnas. I think I could handle that.

Christmas is coming. Yes it is. I am in no way prepared for it. But, I found out last night the Christmas schedule. Aparently my family does not do christmas on Christmas. They only do it before and after. This is because one of their sons, Hannes and his girlfriend Jo would have to split the time between their two families. So, instead, no one has christmas on Christmas. The 'kids' all have a party themselves and then in the following days, celebrate Christmas. So, I will also be included in this tradition. As far as I know, I will be attending a party on Christmas.
