never underestimate the entertainment value of Diana Ross and the Supremes' Greatest Hits on tape. there was a Temptations song on there and my little sister Meme had made up all these dance moves. we pulled up beside this black man in a white bmw at a stoplight. she animately starts doing the "no you didn't" black girl head move accompanied with fervent finger thrashing. i was trying to keep my foot on the brake while attempting to head off the urine begging to saturate my pants. mr. blackie beside us stared unwavering at meme, mouth agape and sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose. little hellion. man, her lack of awareness is gonna get her killed at college.

care to see what Amanda got for her birthday from her roommates?

Here's a picture of my sweet little family, in case you were curious...

Family sure can be entertaining. My immediate family is pretty nutty. But no joke, my grandma is going batty. We are talking full out random psycho. Not dangerous-psycho, just mildly funny psycho. There is a fine line between those two. We had a little BBQ (complete with the ever-present potato salad that we gotta love) and she comes out with the most obscure conversation topics. She rambled on about everything from making moonshine to canning strawberries. Then she tells dad that she bought him some steak knives for christmas but he had said that he didn't want sharp things around his kids so she took them back. Um, he never said that 'cause all of his kids are over 10 yrs old and christmas was 5 months ago....Pass the prozac.
