Small stuff, big stuff, really, what for?
Not that I let myself get really pre-stressed today (my sister did), but I'm just not all that comfortable in social situations, and Hubs is frankly unpredictable, and who knows if he'll even speak to anyone or have a temper outburst or what? And my sister couldn't bear the thought of having to share any space with her first husband, Satan J.
Today was the day of my wonderful niece's (J3) engagement party.
I didn't give Hubs a choice in this one. I didn't say, "Well, go if you want." No, he had to go to this one. It was only right.
Too many strangers, too posh posh. So I thought. This was at the groom-to-be's aunt's house, which is quite upscale in a very very upscale suburb nearby. As we drove down the street towards the house, we passed estates with iron gates and long driveways. I swear, one of them had a moat.
The upshot, of course, is that it was quite lovely. This boy's family could not have been more warm and wonderful, which I should have guessed just based on him. Satan J did come over to our table and say hello, and that was it. And here's the interesting part: He is not a nice person, which I've already established, but he was always a good-looking person. It was the only thing he had going for him. Now, not so much. He's like Dorian Gray, except the painting is okay, all his evil just shows up on his actual face. Heh heh heh.
So, Sibs was okay, J3 lovely as always, her brother J2 in attendance and looking and feeling outstanding as well. But the most amazing thing of the day for me was that Hubs acted and behaved just like a normal person. Friendly, amusing, clever. Wow. What a good day.
