Well, I am at the tail end of my trip to New Jersey. There were good and bad things.
The good:
Seeing family I haven't seen in a while
Finishing my knitting (pics to come)
Finishing painting my incense burner (pics to come)
Resting
PRESENTS!
The Bad:
Putting up with family (more details below)
Sleeping in a different place
No real privacy
Not being home
Overall, I enjoyed myself. It was a productive trip, with me getting two artsy things done. Though there were annoyances. One major one was my little sister. We have several states of co-existance, from harmony, to ignorance, to siginificant reaction. Sadly, up here,it is normally the latter that prevails, for the main reasons.
One of them is my sister trying to act like the 'good daughter/grandaughter', by being overly cheery and doing things she would not normally do at home, like putting dishes other than her own in the dishwasher while I would be conversing with mom, dad, and my grandma. Thusly, I would be the lazy one,and mom would be like "Help your sister with the dishes." It was my plan, once I was done enjoying conversation, jeeze.
Also, her acting like I am a barbarian in some aspects doesn't help, like when my grandma handed my nail clippers at the dinner table, after I mused that my nails needed trimming. I mostly jokingly suggested that grandma wanted me to trim my nails at the table, thus bring my sisters fussing on how disgusting that was. Everyone was done eating, jeeze. ANd the perky attitude when I am trying to concentrate knitting. Jesus.
Ill have more tomorrow. The keyboard here blows. See ya.
Ah, siblings. Gotta hate 'em. :P
