dessert

so apparently, my favorite holdiay of the year, the time when i get to spend time with my cousin and aunt and uncle and grandparents? yeah, that's ruined. because now, the WHOLE FAMILY is gonna be there. and i'm not just talking my cousins, donna and megan, no, i'm talking naomi. naomi and her kids. naomi is my grandmother's boyfriend's daughter, who has defied the family wishes and has been exiled for some time now. when her brother died, she wasn't even told about it until 5 months later, because he didn't want her to know. and i never really liked her, and suddenly she's crashing thanksgiving. grr...and, get this. my aunt euna mae is coming. along with her whole family. this is gonna suck.

i also have to start packing up our stuff, because we will be bug bombing the house tomorrow. there are actually two bugs on the computer screen right now. our house is infested, and my dad refuses to get an exterminator. but hey, maybe we'll finally be rid of the little roach things. although i can't say i won't miss them. they were always so friendly.

anyway, i gots to make my delicious dessert. it is a chocolate trifle, inspired by a pumpkin gingerbread trifle i saw on the food network that looked so yummy. i want to replicate that, but i don't think we have any pretty dishes, so it won't look as good. but hey, you can't have everything. ...

Funny, there was just a bug crawling across the dining room floor a couple minutes ago.

hey, you might have a lot of people at your Grandma's house, but think of me and my awkward situation. yes, i don't know what the heck we are going to do about that, but we are, and that's that, i guess.
but you know what? i'm just going to make the best of it, and you should too... and think of the lumpy mashed potatoes... mmmm...

THAT'S THE THING!!! WE ARE NOT EVEN HAVING LUMPY MASHED POTATOS!!!! oh, that hurts...

but see, the thing with your family is, you guys probly get together a lot. i haven't seen these people for years. and plus, the rest of my family (other than my aunt/uncle/cousin and grandma) are idiots, wheras we are a smart branch. so we've managed to alienate the rest of the family (i have too...outreading a 15 year old when your 7 has that effect). WE, the morgan-cagles, are the "black sheep" of the family, because we are neither illiterate, skinny, extremely mean, or estranged.

you don't have this problem, as far as i know. if you do then i take it back.
