So we got home from the lunch around 3:30 to go straight into the good-bye party that my mother-in-law organized. About 30 or so of Craig's nearest relatives (well, the ones we care about at least) and a few friends. Absolutely smashing time. Tons of kids to keep Alicia and Alex busy (who didn't go to bed until almost 11pm but hey I figure they should get to stay up late since I'm taking them away from all their cousins), and got to gossip with all the family that I like. Way too much food, but then that always happens. And it was cute, because one of Craig's cousins has a twelve-year-old son named Connor who kept following me around like a puppy. :) I caught him at one point singing Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give It Away" and when I jokingly commented on it, he about went through the roof in surprise. We started talking about music, and it kept coming back to music I used to listen to in college. When I commented on how old it made me feel, Connor said, "You're not old!", to which I promptly reminded him I turned 35 next month. Well, the next five minutes were spent on telling me why 35 is not old, and how I don't act 35 and that's what really matters. This, coming from a 12-year-old boy. Like I said, it was cute. :)
Tomorrow, we're going to pack up the rest of the stuff we left behind, and then it's back on a plane for us Sunday morning. I imagine I'll be uploading the Legions chapter on Monday morning, because I'm going to have transcribe it first. I have a few people who are convinced I left it on a cliffhanger (hee!) so I need to put them out of their misery. Except not, because there is a lot happening in the next 5 or 6 chapters as sides start to shift with Buffy's new situation, now-April's denunciation of Esme, and the like. *whistles innocently*
OK, extremly tired now as we've spent the last hour and a half cleaning up from the party. I'll just be going to bed in a few, and I'll talk to everyone tomorrow after the packing is done! :)
