So, I'm sure that many of you have heard me complain in the past about all the crap I used to have to do with my family ex: hunting, fishing, etc. rather than getting to go do something fun w/friends on a weekend, a little thing my mom always referred to as spending "quality time" with the family. Something that just used to feel like an obligation, but now in my later years, and perhaps nudged by the lessening amount of time I'll be spending with family before not seeing them 'till May, I've resolved to play more of this "quality time" game whether I like it or not. Because truth is, even if I don't enjoy it now, I know I'll appreciate it later.

So today, I was feeling kinda blah, and more stay-in-the-house-y (partially because I knew all my friends would be leaving today and I'd be left alone at home planless) and Devin asked me to go golfing with him. Instead of saying I didn't much feel like it, or maybe later, I figured, what the hell else am I gonna be doing all day....nothing--when I could be spending some perfectly good time with even the slightest chance that I might enjoy myself more than by doing nothing, by doing something with Devin, that he asked me to do, and maybe get to know/hang out with this kid more without rejecting him and maybe hurting his feelings.

My mom ended up joining in (although Marc was still at work, and I think a tad jealous when he got home..he likes golf) and we actually had a pretty good time, with mom providing the comic relief for the evening.

Then tonight the boys ended up going out 'coon hunting and my mom and I curled up for an evening of Gilmore Girls (we got through 2 dvds) and hot chocolate, which was quite pleasant. I love watching this show with my mom. And we had a nice little girls night, just me her, weezy, and the cat. And now it is 1:33 am, the boys have returned and everyone's headed for bed.

Tommorrow I will sit with my two aunts, mom, and mom's friend, and scrapbook and feel awkward being a 'youngin' around the 'gals' but I'm some enjoyment will come from it and even if it's not some great memory that stands out to me later on, who knows maybe it will be for one of them, and that definitely makes it worth it.
