Yes, a weekend


Well, I still haven't gotten that wonderful picture up as my header--- but I will one of these days. Seems a good winter project, learn code. But right now in the Midwest the heat has relented, and i have the windows open and I am ayoning the neighbors with my mellow music a little James Morrison, a bit of Josh Kelly, some Paolo Nutini

I'm just not in White Stripes mood right now.

So this weekend I took the new exchange students to Chicago. I have my new camera working--- it is great! I just wish I was a better photographer.

My niece had her fist birthday party this weekend. And here is my issue

I do not like the way my sister is treated by her husband. I hate seeing it. Now the big problem is my sister and I have just started to actually talk. I am really afraid if I say anything to her, she will shut down and not speak with me. Or, worse yet she will break down --- I and don't want to be the cause of that. How ever by not saying anything I feel like I being an enabler--- ya know what I mean.

I am thinking of maybe asking her some tough questions.

On a lighter note, after seeing the tape of Britney on the MTV music awards (no link, it's that bad) I have decide to put in my application as a pop star! Hey, I can dance 10x better than she did. I can lip sing just as well and my body isn't any worse than her even though I'm like 15+ years older-- so there! I'll dance on tables until the real estate industry pics up!

Sibling relationships are always tough, even the good ones! Don't have any advice or solace to offer - other than go with what your heart tells you. Wishing you the best of luck, in any event.

I love Chicago!!!!!!

And if anyone is fit to talk to her sister about a husband it's you...you're a rock. You'll do the right thing, whatever you decide.

Hey, you changed your template! Much cleaner, and I no longer have the weird problem I was having.

I have to admit that morbid curiosity has driven me to look for clips of that Britney performance online. But the clip on YouTube is no longer available. Something about copyright infringement. Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

Okay, a different take here - coming from someone who is married to someone who doesn't treat me the way my family thinks I should be treated - it's not like she doesn't know what an ass he is. It's not like she doesn't see exactly how badly he treats her. It's not like she doesn't know you know, though she's probably hoping you don't notice... it's her life. She's chosen to stick with the guy, for whatever reasons. You might try to mention some past "confrontations" you and your hubby have had, if you have had any, as a way of opening the door for her to maybe talk, but if she doesn't, leave her be if you want to stay in contact with her. She may be trying to figure out how to fix things, how to stop him from being an ass to her, how to improve their relationship, and you just need to let her do what she needs to do. Feeling as though your relatives are judging your marriage does nothing but drive you away from them. The last thing she needs is to withdraw from you. Just be there for her - open, accepting, willing to just listen. That will help her far more than pointing out what an ass her husband is. As I said, she knows it.

Okay, Dr. Gina is finished.
