grandpa turns 80, cake is eaten

this weekend i woke up at 5am to get into a car with my aunt, uncle, cousin, cousin's girlfriend and a dog and proceed to drive for 6 hours only to wake up 24 hours later and do it all over again.

this weekend my grandfather turned 80 which, when you think about it, is an incredible accomplishment. eighty birthdays, eighty christmases, eighty flu seasons and eighty tax returns. it's a lot of eighties.
this is my grandfather and my uncle jack:


so the party was lovely EXCEPT FOR ONE THING: i had to share a hotel room with my cousin and his girlfriend. it was a pivotal moment in my life when i realized: i am a 24 year old spinster.
