I Suck At Hanging Out With My Favorite Sister-In-Law

it was an interesting friday night.

i have been feeling a little under the weather all week. whether it is from the lack of recent sleep (as i have been getting bizarre nightmares since the passing of my son, braden), or perhaps i just happened to catch something viral... my stomach has not been feeling quite right.

after friendly's, i was excited because everything i ate... stayed in my stomach. i was thinking that perhaps my stomach issue had passed... that is, until i was invited to dinner at my favorite sister-in-law's (janine).

now, i suck at hanging out with my favorite sister-in-law. interestingly enough, janine has not been feeling well either. she has been battling similar stomach issues, leading me to think that this stomach issue is something viral as opposed to psycho-somatic. if the stomach issue is viral, then i blame karen's uncle (billy) who came up from georgia for braden's service. never trust southerners... just kidding.

anyway, since janine and i were having similar digestive problems... we decided (for some reason) to have tacos for dinner. you can probably imagine where this is going to lead...

in all fairness, the dinner was very delicious. thinking that i was somewhat on the mends after my friendly's experience, i was eating a soft taco there... a soft taco here. i had some corn... yum corn! and to top it off, i had a drink or two with some coconut rum. (for anyone curious, some people believe coconut is a laxative.)

needless to say, i may have been testing the boundaries of my stomach... i ended up frequenting janine's bathroom. digestive issues aside, the night was actually quite fun.

janine was having internet connectivity issues on her computer. after fixing janine's computer (because... that is apparently my role... computer stuff), all of us just started having a blast by watching youtube videos on the internet. my friends (jen and bill) also stopped by as they were in the neighborhood after doing some shopping at the mall.

all of us were just laughing and dying (me from my digestive issues of course) over the old commercials of toys we had growing up and of the old cartoons we used to watch growing up. i have no idea how people get a hold of those videos to upload to youtube... but you gotta love youtube...
