My family is crazy!

I love them to death, but seriously, I'm living in a soap opera with the cast switched on hyper mode. Let's take my youngest sister, for example - very pretty, but does she really need to wear skirts so short I'm not even sure Eve would have worn before she took a bite from the sacred apple. I took a ride with her up to the dry cleaners, car all pimped out, radio blasting and seats laid back so far you have to do a constant crunch to see out the window. I felt like Puff Daddy was going to step out on to the side walk and let loose a few rounds at us. Take no offence Sis, I'm probably just getting too old.

Unrelated to my family, I'm freezing my ass here! It's summer and I have never been so cold. I forgot that it's basically like living in a desert - warm days and freezing cold nights, but I'm sure I'll be melting when the heat wave comes.

It is good to be back though. Doesn't feel like home yet but I've been away so long I'm sure it will take a while to sink in. My family may be crazy but they are great for a laugh; I don't think I have stopped since I got here :)
