Who woulda thunk it…

 (I really cringed a bit when I wrote that title btw)
Saturday my mom and step-father had a HUGE cookout at their house filled with family, friends, our family’s friends…etc etc etc. We’re talking nearly 100 people showed up throughout the entire event. Which went on from 1pm to 6pm and probably would have went on longer had a storm not started up.

I had no idea who a good portion of the people there. However, I did know more than I thought I would. And quite a few knew me, surprisingly enough. One man used to work with mom a long time ago, I didn’t remember him until he started talking about the drink machine downstairs at her work. I used to con all the men into buying me drinks after school and to get help with my homework. Even at the age of 10, I knew I was in control! It was hilarious.

The kids would attack us with water pistols and the occasional bubbles, then run away screaming at the top of their lungs. The adults threw horseshoes and played bat-mitten or volleyball. We ate, became miserable then ate somemore. And I learned how to throw horseshoes!! Before finally making it towards the little pole, I almost took my roomie’s head off, twice…and a window. But it’s part of the learning process right? Lol.

On top of all that it was my god-brother’s graduation that day as well, extremely proud of him. And I feel extremely old too.
