nightrythm ◾ ◾ Sometimes it's nice to see family.

Last night we had a lovely dinner with the in-laws. It's the first time we've been fed at their place whedn it wasn't a huge family occasion. They've stopped going out to restaurants all the time and have started eating at home. I enjoyed that a lot. My MIL is an excellent cook.

Low Points: She used the phrase "Indian giver" a couple of times. Since she was upset I didn't think trying to educate her on her language choices would be beneficial.

Also she made some comment about how she didn't get sprinkles on the cupcakes she bought for dessert because she didn't know if I liked them. When I told her that I do in fact, like sprinkles she responed with "well you're so oicky about chocolate and all that other stuff...". Um, yeah. All that other stuff? Seriously WTF? This woman makes her son entirely seperate mdals because he won't eat most of what she serves. I am not picky. I eat what I'm served.

High points: She gave me all of her leftover yarn. I have a grocery bag full of half skeins of mostly expensive wool yarns in random colors.

After dinner we sat and did needlework while Patch and his dad played Wii Sports. That was nice.
