where we'll have to pretend to be sleeping separately, good times!

Heh. If my parents didn't know he was sleeping over here before last night, they know now. When mom called to have me come get them, I told her I was in my jammies and had just taken my meds. Then I proceeded to run the plan past CBD. And not a word was said.

The Boy's parents are very Catholic and so they think that he and I should have gotten married before living together (truefax: his mom told him that we should "live like brother and sister now"). And on vacation -- with his entire family, including parents -- we shared a bedroom, and his parents didn't say a word. Mostly I think they knew that logistically it would have been a nightmare for us to not share a room (15 people, 6-bedroom house -- you do the math), so they dealt with it. It helped, I think, that we were in the downstairs part of the house and his parents were in the upstairs part.

Aw, Andi. I so understand, but I hate to hear you thinking that way.

Well, if you read V.C. Andrews, you ARE living like brother and sister ....

::snerk:: Yeah, we already made all the creepy jokes about that line. (Uh, we didn't make the jokes to his parents.) We're sick.

Yeah, I have no idea what will happen when we do a family trip type thing for the first time. I think they'll just decide it's easier to not fight it. I mean, it's not like they can change what we're doing. So, they'll just go with the flow I think.

And, honestly, mom's smart. She probably knew that if she touched the subject last night, I would have happily pulled over and left them at the side of the highway.

Ok. I wouldn't have left them at the side of the highway, but it wouldn't have been pretty.

Sheesh, Toddson, way to call my impending nap on account of creepification.

Yeah, the time to preach against someone else's lifestyle is NOT when you are asking them to do you a big favor in the small hours.

I wish I could accept my fat. I don't.

I still haven't looked at most of the Madison F2F pictures because I'm in them. Everyone else looks great (including you in your beautiful outfit, Andi), and I look like a giant blob.

My "favorite" doctor comment is "You could lose some weight." If I could, I would.

I need to get dressed and go to the gym to work out but I wanna watch the olympics! Dilemma.

go. to. the. gym.

Olympics will be there when you get back.

Lisah - that's awesome.

::pulls out old story about mom calling apartment for several years before we were married and frequently saying "oh, you're still there. may I speak w/my daughter please?" It got better. She now thinks of him as the son, and me - from all appearances today - as the in-law....::

The Boy's parents are very Catholic and so they think that he and I should have gotten married before living together (truefax: his mom told him that we should "live like brother and sister now").

whoa. My parents are pretty Catholic but of the hippy, 60s activist variety. So they really don't care (or, if they did they'd never say anything to me).

When we were first planning on me going out to meet his folks in MI we talked briefly about staying over in his hometown Saturday night and nixed it right away because his mom would have put us in separate rooms without question. But they aren't religious at all. Weird to me!

Anyway, my brother and family just moved into a new and huge house where i'll have my own room and they'll set up a couch right by it for CB to "sleep" on. If they were at their old place we would have gotten a hotel room. And if my niece asks I'm not going to lie to her...I will tell her to go ask her mom!
