It was Dumpling Sunday at Grandma Albrecht's yesterday. We had awesome food and lots of the family was there. My cousins are popping out babies faster than I can keep track. There are so many new names to learn. AND they keep stealing my baby names! I got to hold my cousins 3-week old baby and that satisfied my baby fix for a while. As well as seeing some of my other cousin's kids made me NOT want to have kids for a very long time.
This is one of the first times I went up there and didn't feel like a failure because I didn't bring my boyfriend and I'm not married.
I graduated. With a computer science degree. I have a job. Although, most of them still assume I live with my parents. That's fine.
The only bad part is I can't sit back and let them talk deragatively about other people. They say they aren't prejudice, but they still use the words that create a culture of intolerance and "us and them". So, I'm forced to make an issue out of it. And then everything is tense and icky. Why can't they just be decent.
