What have I brought upon myself...

"See, what had happened was...."

Remember that tentative plan to have a gathering for family? Well it actually came to fruition, in a mere hour or two.

[phone call from grandmother]

GM: "Well I think it would be nice, and we want to do it for you."
Me: "I think it'd be nice too, but it's always a hassle trying to get people in one place. Everyone always has their separate plans...."
GM: "Well you won't know until you make a few calls."
Me: "But it's Thursday! And we're trying to get people to show up for Sunday?"
GM: "You won't know until you call."

A few calls later, and everyone I call says they're good to come over!

Imagine that. Should be fun...except for the fact that a guest list of 5-6 people ballooned to about 14 family members, some of whom I have not spoken to in years.

This should be fun...
