just recapping it here.
arrived late. people were in various stages of eating. nobody really cared that i was late, which was a blessing. i talked to clay's sister, ate some popcorn. when i first got there, i felt really nervous and out of sorts. it's always hard to walk into a crowded room, regardless of whether you know everyone or you dont. i think what i'm really afraid of is being asked a question and having the whole room stop to wait for the answer. i hate that. it happens all the time with the inlaws. i feel as if' i'm this science experiment, a petri dish that they've had in the corner for a while but have forgotten until someone moves one of the chachkis and realises it's there and says, "hey, look guys! look what i've found! remember this?" that's how i feel in the presence of the inlaws.
taco in a bag was served, along with pretzels and popcorn. i helped myself to some popcorn and munched on a home made pretzel. delicious. spent time asking clay's sister about the triplets. we dont really know each other per se, but we have those minute degrees of separation. mutual friends and acquaintances. i do make an effort to talk to her at parties because i think she is a nice person. we come from different worlds but nonetheless, i kind of like talking to her.
someone made room for me beside doug's fiance liz and her and i ended up chatting for hours about everything. i really enjoyed her. that's not to say that i might not find her annoying in other situations, but for today, i found she was very easy to have a conversation with. i could ask the questions and get the answers. i had fun talking to her. then i talked to michelle and jacques, and later, lisa and rob. oh and i did see nicole first off and talked to her. it was hard not to cry when i saw her just because of what she's gone through in the last month with being pregnant and having an emergency appendectomy. it was scary and i was worried about her. plus, it's her first baby and she had been waiting till easter to tell us and because situations changed, had to have someone else break the good news.
i wasnt the last to leave. the grandparents were all left. i thought it was for the best for me to leave before them. things got a little yelly when clay was throwing his daughter and niece around, but it was all good. all in good fun. it might have been slightly more tolerable if i had more than 4 hrs of sleep.
anyway, it was a good time. my kind of party, really. lots of laughs, friends, and people sharing a special little girl's birthday. to be included was very special to me. to be thought of as a person they'd like to share their daughter's bday with was an honor.
sounds crazy but it's true. it's worth that energy.
