Family Time

I survived.

Talk about BIG family. And loud. But friendly and fun.

I had a great conversation with Rose's brother's girlfriend, another "outsider". I got a chance to talk to some of the nieces I'd heard so much about. I saw a lot of things that explain why Rose is they way she is. And someone at the house even made a mean pot of coffee. Of course I was going to love them.

Rose is heading back to see the family today. I'm going to either go into Grand Rapids or drive down to Muskegon. (I'm sure I saw a Starbucks there.)

And I need a decent meal. I've been living on cheese, crackers, turkey pepperoni and sun chips. I need green. Or a big piece of meat.

I also need to do a little walking. I popped tylenol all day yesterday to ease the throbbing in my upper body from Friday's early AM workout. Holy crap was I sore. It's a little better today, but I feel like I need to do something to smooth out the pain. There's always wine, but it's a long drive back to Milwaukee tomorrow.
