We’re headed to California this weekend for a family gathering for my grandmother’s 90th birthday. Since I couldn’t quite decide how I feel about this trip, I have made a list of pros and cons:
Pro:
- 80 degrees
- celebrating long healthy life of grandma
- 80 degrees
- get to hang out with sister, who I haven’t seen much recently
- shorts and flip flops
- 80 degrees
- sunshine
Con:
- There will probably be golfing. I hate golfing.
- Grandma in her advanced age has gotten a little persnickety and often does not technically appear to enjoy the company of her family.
- Drama ensues.
- We’re going to have to miss most of the first round NCAA tournament games while we sit around the living room chatting.
- We might run out of gin.
Pro:
- Did I mention 80 degrees and sunny?
On the whole, since it’s 27 degrees here right now, I think the pros have it. Off to pack spf 1 zillion and wait for the work day to pass so I can hop on a plane!
I am CRACKING up at this post. I love that celebrating the long healthy life of grandma is a pro. HAHAHAHAHA. I mean, no, it’s great. It’s just the way you said it.
ooh, JEALOUS!! i’d take 80 and sunny even if it meant having to sit around with my extended family all weekend!
uh, that sounded bad. but.. um.. i guess there’s no way to make that sound good. have fun! enjoy needing spf!
We might run out of gin! AH HA HA HA HA HA!
I’m no longer going to feel sorry for Sweets and me not getting to see games. Sitting in grandma’s living room definitely trumps having to go to a wedding. Have a fantastic trip!
The second con of yours seems to be affecting our family as well. Rock and hard place I tell ya. Enjoy the weather!!!
I ran out of gin at a family function once. I have never made that mistake again.
Pack sunscreen AND GIN.
This was hilarious, especially the part about the gin. Pack extra!
