(no subject)

I leave in the morning to go to San Diego and see my mom, the munchkins, my dad, the non-wicked stepmother, and my brother's very large family (brother, sister-in-law, eight great kids). I am really looking forward to seeing them. I am NOT looking forward to whatever crazy drama my sister decides to throw my way while I'm there. She's batting 1000 for oh, say, the last 40 years of my life, so it's unreasonable to expect that nothing will explode in my vicinity. Such is life. Most of my family is a delight to me -- they don't all have to be.
