Hey! I am sorry I never wrote you back. We went out
for dinner with my aunt & uncle for my bday, and I
guess that was about it. These things become less
thrilling the older you get.

Big news--Brother A was originally going to get married on
July 10, but now his fiancee is having surgery next
Friday, and (big drama!) she may be crippled after the
surgery is over (almost certainly a lie)...But anyway,
they decided to have some sort of ceremony tomorrow,
Memorial Day, at Sunken Gardens at Noon. I will be
there with my Aunt L & Uncle B, maybe Sweetie(?--we
just got back from camping & he is exhausted &
sunburned)

so...if you feel like going to sunken gardens around
noon tomorrow & meeting Brother A's woman & such, you and
yours are more than welcome. Obviously, it's a very
casual thing, so dress comfy & don't worry about any
kind of present or card or anything. I'm sure that on
such short notice it's not going to be any formal
ceremony & whatever.

I know what you mean about bdays..sighs. So whats going on with the
Brother A's woman surgery? Sounds serious..crippling and all..? Recently
I developed some kind of skin rash near my chin .. or I just have
hypersensitive skin .. and being in the sun doesnt help any.. makes
it worse.. It looks alot better but I have to watch the sun.. think
I"m becoming a vampire lol..I stopped using foundation..just
moisturizer with sunscreen and powder. See what age does to ya??

Wow so Brother A is really going through with it..I do wish him the best
though.

And you? How are you doing? How was camping? OUch sun burn..
I have some errands to tend to tomorrow..and other numb minding
business I need to take care of..but do send them my best wishes..
and take pics! I wanna see!

Me to Rio:

Brother A's woman can't do anything without major drama.
Apparently, the story is she fell in the tub or
something, and went to the ER because her back hurt,
and the Drs found that she has some kind of
degenerative spinal condition, so there will be
surgery on the 4th to fuse her vertebrae and she will
be in the hospital for an entire month, and then home
on bed rest for 2 months after that. Her 3 kids are
staying with her mom for the summer, and I guess Brother A
and/or Trey (her other husband....) will be taking
care of her.

I think the real story is not nearly as dramatic and
interesting, but I also think I will not get to ever
hear the real story.

So...the wedding. The Rubber Pig's mom was a total BITCH to all
of Brother A's few family members who could show up on such
short notice. She walked up to my aunt L and said
"You're the aunt?" in this totally flat voice. I don't
think she even said hello or nice to meet you or
ANYTHING when I was introduced. She treated us all
like SHIT. Like it's OUR fault her daughter's a freaky
skank ho???

Anyway--there no marriage licence, no real minister,
just a friend with one of those 'internet minister
license' things, no religious divorce from Trey,
possibly no REAL divorce from Trey...When she goes in
for surgery on Friday, she's still on his insurance.
Which is good, considering that Brother A STILL has no job
& no insurance. The Rubber Pig borrowed her freind's wedding
dress. (her friend was the only bridesmaid/matron of
honor/whatever)

The Rubber Pig's 3 children are very sweet little girls. I
really liked them. I think even if things go bad
betwen Brother A & The Rubber Pig, Brother A will tough it out for the
sake of the children. (sad...but what can ya do?)

Sorry to hear about your skin condition. Have you seen
a Dr. yet? Sounds kind of like rosacea. If you are
using any cream with AHAs (alpha hydroxy acid, vitamin
C, fruit acids, stuff like that) that can make your
skin sensitive to light. Also if you take St. John's
Wort, you can become more sensitive to light. I hope
it gets better. I remember when my aunt hit her 30s
she suddenly became allergic to just about
everything--she had to get rid of all her perfumes &
scented lotions and everything.

Sweetie is still sunburned but it looks like it will fade
to a tan. We are both covered in chigger bites. Talk
about a GREAT weekend... *sigh*

There's a bellydance show here Friday night (the 4th)
at 8pm, and another one Saturday the 26th at Natural
Magic at 7 pm, if you want to come up? Also, I'm
totally free the weekend of the 19-20. We should get
together sometime :) Maybe cook out, go tubing, or something?
