Mom, Sister, Niece (7) & Nephew (9 months) arrive in about an hour and a half, to stay for about 36 hours. It's a 5 hour drive; I'm not sure why they chose to get here on Saturday afternoon only to leave again the next day...they said it's tough with the kids, and I know it is (well, I don't, really), but why should that make a difference? Get here Friday night, leave Sunday night. Much better.
Mom's never been here, as she lives many hundreds - nay, thousands - of miles away. She's taking a well-deserved few months off work, and spending one with Sis , so they decided to pop over and check the place out. Sis has been here a few times already, bless her heart, and each time we've shown Niece the wonders of this town.* But I'm rather excited to have Mom see the place, too - I'm pretty close with my Mom, though less so in the last few years...I wonder why that is. I think I'm starting to feel like a grown-up (finally) - not that that means I have to drift away from family - just that I'm starting to concentrate on other things, other stresses...

Went out last night with some friends/classmates - these two, with whom the night began, are two of the few friends with whom I feel like I can discuss law school related issues with boring them, or getting the inevitable, "can we talk about something other than law school?" Any way, Cutie Patootie Poo joined us, and when she arrived, I thought we were going to leave straight away, as she's still a bit uncomfortable with my friends. She doesn't know them as well, and doesn't want the rumor mill to grind away, as it inevitably will - maybe she just wants to forebear it as long as possible, which, frankly, is fine by me. That being said, I've never been one to be gossiped about much, and that's a good thing.
So she stayed, and with each drink she ordered I ordered another. I was pretty surprised, but pleased. Some of her friends eventually came by, which was probably good for her - or bad, as we left together, likely kick starting the aforementioned mill.
One last note about CPP - I'm finding that I tell her my thoughts and feelings a lot - maybe too much. I'm going to try to tone it down a bit, in an effort to play/be cool. So? That means this blog will have to be my outlet for said thoughts/feelings; so if any of you are or become sick and damn tired of reading about me and CPP, I'm going to have to ask you to deal with it. I'm very much in touch with my girly emotional side, and believe me, I've tried to suppress it before, but at my age I realize that is a futile endeavor. I am who I am, and if it doesn't let itself out here, it will bleed out in real life, and that can get messy.

Finally, a personal note to one reader:
AC, I miss you terribly, and I'm sorry I never write or IM you anymore. I hope your studies are going swimmingly (everyone here is killing themselves and miserable), your man is treating you well and talking your ear off about various internet/IP issues, and that you miss me too.

Cheers, everyone; have a wonderful weekend.
*I think pretty much everyone who reads this blog realizes the sarcasm/facetiousness of that comment, right?
