i woke up this morning at 10:30am after falling out at 3am...
so i decided to wake up and play with my cat, watch tv, and update my computer for a few hours waiting for 12:30 to come around. i decided to do the jumbo familia dinner this month cause i hadn't been in a while and had a few coupon deals for my dad that he said he used.
who showed up? well, it was me, rere, lina, sean and dani, ella, mikey and jess, sarah and patty mac daddy, aydan mac sonny, and aunt mare... when i saw lina she asked me where gibby was and i told her he wasn't here, that he was in NJ readying himself for his 60th birthday on the 10th... sad, cause i miss him, but cool cause she asked about him.... (side note: jean anne kuzma benson is the 10th also)
it was really nice and quaint meeting of family. we sat in the back dining area where it seems they don't use that often but considering the parking they had today (NIL) it was necessary.
huh? didja notice that? the dinner was attended by the mac and murph contingency with a single flake of TVB involved. yet those who didn't attend were not missed, but mainly talked about (haha just kiddin, ALL were missed.)
see that you still didn't notice it... MIKEY IS IN TOWN!!! BYAAAAAAH!! (jess too!) he looks great and well, he'll always be mikey. we discussed a few good men in uniforms who left the restaurant and he informed me how anal the military was about your dress. how your zipper had to be lined up with your pocket and such... insanity indeed but that's why they are in the military and i am not. (i figured out i have had some of the same clothes since the early 90s. my one pair of jeans i bought specifically for Giant 'cause they were dark blue.)
for the most part the poop was shot, we all had plenty of food and most of the world was right in the back room of the jumbo.
yet the reason for this blah entry is all about my cousin lina. she's the coolest cat in the nutsy bunch, and at 12 years old she runs her own life, thank you. she's got down's syndrome, and is amazingly independent. if she wants ice cream she can get it herself dangit. well, she was out for plate 2 of dinner food when the following situation popped up...
at the buffet there was a woman who, depending on who you are, could look pregnant. (as an avid listener of comedy i may add that brian regan pointed out that you should never ever ever ever ever ever never ask a woman the following question: when's that baby due?) since lina didn't hear that particular comedy cd, she hadn't known that you don't ask, assumptions or not, no matter what... DON'T ASK! so she went ahead and did. the woman could see it was lina asking her, so she was cool and just said "i'm not pregnant honey, i'm just big."
well my appetite went from running high to unbelievably zero due to the sad hilarity i just witnessed. she didn't know any better and obviously didn't mean any harm, and the woman took it so dearly that it really didn't matter.
yet then there was the problem of me. i couldn't keep a straight face. i'm 35 going on a lesser-aged maturity level than lina at this point... i had to leave the situation. i had a few wings on my plate and decided that was enough for the buffet run that time. i sat down and told the story and it was sad again, but in front of the family they understood my side of things. i couldn't eat due to laughter and it was just a funny situation.
we finished up and headed out of another successful lunch n' dinner at the jumbo, and all were full and fighting back their sphincters to hold in the food as usual, all knowing in 15 minutes we'd all be starving again, (whats with chinese food that it does that?) but nonetheless i recommend when the schedule is out, head to the jumbo for the family dinner. its a great time and you never know what will happen.
