If I lived closer, I would be there!
Aww... thank you for the offer! If you lived closer, I might take you up on your offer. I am looking forward to the weekend because it'll be my first major thing for my art business, but I'm not looking forward to it because conventions and shows take sooo much out of a person. After a while, you get tired of hearing yourself saying the same spiel.

As for my brother well, he's him. Even my mom said "don't worry about it. He's just being him." But Grrr.... if I had pulled the same stunt with him?

Oooh, good story about my brother,. A few years ago, we had a big party for my daughter's 13th brithday. We bought tickets to a local hockey game and told him a million times what day & time they were for. the NIGHT BEFORE, he calls and asks if we mind if he doesn't come because (get this) the Eagles were in the playoff game and he'd miss the Eagles play to go to a teenager's party. Well, sorry, it was a big deal to her and me. So he stayed home, we paid for two un-used tickets, and the Eagles lost.

On my son's 16th brithday party, they decided to announce they were pregnant, complete with passing around pictures of the ultra sound. I thought they could have waited until the next day because everybody except my parents, me, hubby, and the kids were complete strangers.... here he is passing pictures around to strangers! He couldn't stand the thought of letting my kids have a nice day for themselves without stepping up and making about HIM.

That is my brother... so of course he'd have to pick that weekend to go to the cirus... because that weekend is MY big weekend, and obviously Kim can't have something nice for herself.
