zdashamberGot a voicemail from my sister this evening; my brother-in-law is accepted to get a Masters of Engineering at a college in London. I reckon I'll call tomorrow and find out which college; I forgot the name. Living in England for a few years! From Pueblo to London! Hah!
I will get to visit and crash on their couch if they decide to go for it. Eheeheeheehee.
"Brother-in-law" sounds so distant and snarky, when this fellow is like a brother in fact. Also, there needs to be a way to describe aunts and cousins who aren't blood relations. And there needs to be a way to talk about your mother's and father's branches of your family without having to rattle on "Oh, my mother's father's father blah di blah"... The answer: prefixes and suffixes.
Auntem: the lady who married my uncle.
MaPaPaAunt: my great-great-aunt, the sister of my mother's father's father.
Ma-auntem: the lady who married my mother's brother.
MaMa-first cousin once removedem: the person married to my first cousin once removed in my mother's line.
Now, I'm open to changing the specific suffixes and prefixes. Also, there needs to be a way to say "the guy who used to be married to my brother-in-law's sister." 'Cuz hey, it's all family.
As for me, I finally got all the rest of my daffodil bulbs from last fall into the ground, and then it rained. Score. Also,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
a2macgeek may be interested to hear, Jael rescued Khrim from under the thumb of his evil father and married him, finally bringing the forlorn lovers together. ;) Jenna was the bridesmaid at her wedding, and helped arrange the bachelorette party. Yeehaw!
