i appreciate good family conversations
yes, just a couple of my favorite easter family get-together conversations:
grandma: (concerned look on her face, leaning close toward me so only i could hear her, but speaking loudly enough for the neighbors down to road to hear her) "leisha, you look like you've been gaining some weight."
me: (oh-so-pleasant smile on my face) "yes, actually, i have gained weight, as it's been a very stressful semester for me; thank you for noticing."
g-ma: "well i thought it'd looked like you'd gained some weight."
me: (another pleasant smile; can you imagine?)
great uncle bill: "leisha, do you have a car?"
me: "yep, i have a car."
gub: "is it the same car you've had?"
me: "yep, it's the same car."
gub: "you mean you haven't wrecked it yet?"
me: (a sort of "what??" look on my face) "nope, i haven't, why do you ask?"
gub: "well i just thought you'd be the first to wreck your car by now..."
me: "nope, haven't wrecked it, thanks for that vote of confidence though, uncle bill, i appreciate it."
and then i proceeded to travel to cool crest to play the worst game of miniature golf in my life. even my grandma beat me (the other grandma-- the one who'd probably find a much more creative way to tell me i've gained weight-- God bless her soul). oh, good times with the reynolds family.

grandma most likely didn't really beat you at cool crest, as with her and tracy's scores I was a bit lenient (hint: a 7 would be a 4 or 5). The only one I really kept track of was mine..so I still beat all of you.
As far as the weight thing...do something about it or quit complaining. I know how you'll take that comment but I'm gonna leave it.
I went through the same thing a couple semesters ago and wasn't real happy about it, but didn't bitch at everyone that even mentioned something about weight. Get out and get some exercise instead.
bitch at everyone who mentions weight? i joke about it more than bitch, thanks.
oh King of the exercise, thank you so much for your wise, wise advice. what do you think i do, sit around on my arse every day and play video games or watch TV!?
i am getting exercise, i'm eating frickin' healthy (take a look in my fridge), and i'm downing water. when i need your expert advice on weight, i'll ask you for it, thanks.
