Lazy--Not Lazy

I'm back in San Francisco. I'm very glad to be back. I thought I was never going to make it to the airport. My Dad was driving really slowly. But the real issue was that my parents were bickering the whole way there. It was an hour trip to airport! It was mostly my Dad. My mother would say something like "You are going to need to get over in the other lane." My Dad would answer in this overly frustrated tone "Honey, I know that!" Well chances are very good that he didn't know that and would have been in the wrong lane. That went on for most of the hour.

Speaking of my family here is something I realized during my visit. I always refer to myself as lazy. Well I've decided that is not completely the case. Sure I can be lazy. But I really am not. My family--they are lazy. Seriously for the first few days I was there every time I would get out the dishes for a meal my sister or my cousin or my mother would say "why are we using the real dishes." And then the person would say "well is he going to do the dishes." To which I would have to respond "yes I am going to do the dishes." I mean come on there were never a lot of us and even if there were really do we have to use paper plates and cups at every meal. As one of the Queer Eye for the Straight Eye guys said once, "If that is what they use for their everyday what do they use at picnics?" I know the answer is that they don't actually go on picnics but it makes you wonder right? So I am not lazy--it is all relative.

Also, all I did while I was in Florida was work. i've found that THe best way for me to survive a visit to my family an avoid going completely stir crazy is to keep myself busy. Otherwise I'd just sit around watching my family sitting around watching television. So I work around my Grandmother's house. This time hanging Christmas lights, putting up the Christmas tree, painting some outdoor chairs, hanging pictures, etc. So I was actually glad to come back to San Francisco so I could rest some.

Now I am in full swing Advent preparation. The first Sunday is this week. But for now I'm sitting on my couch about to watch Pushing Daisies. If you were here you could watch me watching this. So until tomorrow.

Peace out!
