Family Friday

Well I thought I'd try and get back to my posting schedule. Today is Family Friday but I really have very little to report. No one tells me anything. Anyway, here are the very few items I know about.

Last week was the wedding party for Jill & John. I think that everyone had a good time. I thought it was a nice party although there was too much cake left over.

Jill & John are returning sometime today from their exciting trip to Soledad. They've been gone all week. I have to say it is much quieter without them. Pippin & Mellifera have been kind of sad though. They keep looking around waiting for them to walk in the door.

Stephen & Kiko leave tomorrow for their exciting trip to the end of the world. Patagonia to be exact. Plus some other places that I don't know about. They don't seem very well organized at this point. Now that may be an insult to Kiko as I'm just basing this on Stephen.

Robin has no exciting trips to anywhere planned. She's considering doing something about that.

Mellifera has started an exercise program. This is because Stephen told her she was fat. Her program consists of running around chasing a non-existent bug. She's stuck with it for 2 days now. I'm impressed.

On November 6th, Robin will be attending an IRS audit. I'd suggest sending her items for the Family Friday post prior to that date. You also may want to send money. This would be to ensure that when she panics over questions they are asking that it isn't your name that pops out of her mouth.

Family Friday

Well no one has sent me any family news so I'm stuck telling you the little bit that I know.

Jill & John's party is still scheduled for Saturday, October 11th at noon. Some of you have expressed confusion over what exactly the party is about. Darned if I know. Just kidding. They had hoped to get married at City Hall prior to the party but are waiting for divorce papers to be received. Officially John is divorced now but for some reason government entities want you to be able to actually produce paper as proof. So this is a pre-wedding celebration I guess. Jill wanted to do it at this time of year and didn't want to change the date to wait for something like official papers.

Jennifer & Talia are devotees of a reality show called Drama Island. I haven't seen it but it sounds rather racy to me. I'm kind of suspicious.

Amanda started Beauty College about 3 weeks ago and is doing well and enjoying it. While I'm sure this is good for her future employability, the most important thing is now I have someone to cut my hair!

After watching the VP debate last night, Pippin has come down solidly on the side of Obama-Biden. Mellifera is wavering thinking that the McCain-Palin ticket may offer her more freedom to pursue her cat dreams.

Robin (oh, that's me), started her 2nd! math class last week. She is very excited. Not really, actually she is rather apprehensive. Once she (hopefully) passes this class, she'll be able to take a "real" math class that counts for credit & she'll have a BA degree! It isn't clear that this will provide tangible benefits, but it will look good on her resume when her current client fires her for personal blogging on work time.

Ok, that's about all the family news I can conjure up out of my little brain. It would be very helpful if people send me little bits of information that I can then elaborate on and turn into a fascinating post for next week. I think I've been reading Jill's blog too much - I'm starting to sound like her.

Ok, here is all the news I know this week.

• From Jill - John & I will celebrate the official union of two non-dunderheads (thank you Mom), on Saturday, October 11, 2008. Probably around 12 noon at our house. We eagerly anticipate your attendance. You'll all receive official invitations eventually!
• Stephen & Kiko are traveling to the end of the world in October. (Yeah I know that was a post, I'm desperate for news.)
• Numerous family members will be participating in a 6-mile walk-a-thon on October 12th. I hope you're all walking daily

That's about it. Kindly send me news items before next Friday! You can email them, call me, send me a postcard or try telepathy.
