And now comes the fun part.
Attempting to find a restaurant that my entire family will like. Brother1 and I are the only two who enjoy something other than standard good-old American meat and potatoes. Mom and Brother2 have very boring palates.
Silly Brother1 suggested Madeline's French Bakery & Bistro. HAHAHA!!! *ahem* yeah, Brother2 would most definitely not find anything to eat there.
Well, that was a hoot of a time.
Sister-in-law spent her entire time looking at her phone, which is nothing new.
Brother2 spent his entire time staring up at the TV screens and getting annoyed. Apparently, there's a sports draft going on.
Mom wanted to know if the women, on the TV that was showing women's boxing, were actually women. And chastised Brother2 for how he handles his relationship w/ his wife who isn't living here at the moment. L-O-N-G story
*thread*
*2/2*
Brother1 and I chatted a little bit, but mostly I just sat there eating my salad and pizza slice counting down the minutes till I could get away.
An interesting moment did arise during Brother1 & wife's visit this week. We were talking music, one of the few things we share a common love for, and he said he'd like us to start sharing music again. Said he missed it.
I'm not sure how to reconcile my fractious relationship w/ family vs how he and I have a lot of the same interests.
