Busy Weekend
 
Well it was a weekend of family for me this past weekend.  First off,  my parents show up at my door at 7:00 on Friday night.  I knew that they would be coming,  but I was expecting them on Saturday morning,  you see my 14 year old cousin Isabeau's mom died on Friday and my parents came up to make sure she was okay.  Nothing like an unexpected death to bring a family together.  I should say that really,  they were the only ones who really made an effort to come,  and they had been on vacation in Picton so it was only a 2 hour drive. My aunt from Montreal also flew in for the weekend,  but she had already had the trip planned.  My parents and I met my uncle and my cousin on Saturday morning for breakfast and 2 of my other aunts also met us there.  Then my parents were on the road by noon and back to Cornwall.
Yesterday I went downtown and met my aunts and my cousin and step-cousin and we went on one of the harbour cruises and then lunch at a restaurant down by the harbour. It was a nice day we all went back to my aunt's house in Brampton where I watched the second jaws movie with my cousins Rebecca and Isabeau and then we had a big bbq dinner.  Dinner in my family means more than a burger and some chips on the side of the plate,  in my family it means preparing enough food to keep everyone eating for at least three hours. It was pretty insane,  I'm still full!
After dinner my uncle drove me home,  he's the one who lives practically across the street from IKEA and then I went to the Pauls and hung out for awhile. On my way there Lindsay called and wanted to make some plans for my birthday,  sounds good to me as long as jacquie (the girl at work I loned money to so she could get Prince tickets) pays me back this week we're going to have a grand ol' time!
