Breezy all at Sea

Well, the rain is here. And I’m sure it will be for a loooooooong time. After all, this is the rainy city right? Vom.

We got home yesterday after our weekend in BC. It was great seeing the family. I went out for drinks with my younger cousins, K and An, and then clubbing/bar hopping with  A. And I remembered why I hate clubs now. Call me old, but I’m really over the loud music and guys leering at me. We got cat called outside the club and were told we had nice shitters. Wow, I wonder if that ever works for those losers. Ugh! Other than that, it was fun to hang out with them.

Sunday was the day we celebrated Thanksgiving. My younger cousin A and I went shopping and I got a very nice Scottish cashmere scarf. I definitely need more winter clothes. My wardrobe tends to be all summery clothes and I noticed the lack of warm clothes when I unpacked. My closet is pretty scarce. Even my mom commented on my lack of clothes and she’s usually the first one to say I have too many clothes (as if that’s possible!)

Of course it was a bit awkward like I predicted. A brought her boyfriend and my mom was sooo excited to meet him and talked to him a bunch.  I felt a bit odd being the older single cousin, but thank God no one said anything while I was around. Dinner was nice but it kinda pissed me off because I had to sit in the living room and eat off tv trays with K, A and her boyfriend. I guess because I’m single I’m not allowed to sit at the adult table. Really made me mad. They said there wasn’t enough room but they could have squeezed me in. Oh well.

Monday we went shopping and then traveled a bit south to see an old family friend and her husband. It was good to see them as her husband is about to die of lung cancer. Very sad but he’s in his 80s and we all can tell how big the burden is for our friend. She’s the original Martha Stewart too. Made all sorts of homemade food and is just the epitome of what a hostess should be.

Then that night my cousins A and K and I went out for dinner and saw Couples Retreat. Man. What a drag of a movie. I didn’t really want to see it, and it just went on and on and on and on. And then when we left, it had only been 1.5 hours. It felt like 3. It was terrible. Maybe I was overtired, but yuck. What a waste of my time and money.

Yesterday we came home after a long day of ferry rides and driving. I caught up on my sleep today and now will venture out into the rain *shudder* to run errands.

I miss LA
