And yes, it's a good thing. Yesterday, Joey came home to Savannah to return to school. His mother brought him home, and brought Joey's nephews and niece with her. I had met the set of twins, a little girl and a little boy, but I didn't get to meet their older brother while up there. Joey called me to let me know he got home, and to return my things I lent him. He asked me to join his family at dinner. Dinner ended up being Joey, his mother, his uncle Bob, and the kids. We had a nice little dinner. Joey took the boys to the buffet bar. I took the little girl to the buffet bar. Most of the dinner was spent talking and interacting with the kids. I wish I could have just spoken to him, but that will come in due time. Before we said goodbye, I gave him some more stuff to catch up on the school work he missed last week. I did enjoy having dinner with his family. His family has been nothing but good to me. They barely know me, but have acted as if I'm one of their own. I appreciate their caring so much.

Today has been a busy day running my family around. Right now, the only cars we can use are my car and my brother's truck. The truck was in the shop today, so all the driving was left to me. I've got another day tomorrow taking Nicki to and from work, in addition to getting my car's oil changed, and taking Matthew to the DMV, on top of an assessment test I have to take online, and plans for tomorrow night. I love my family, but they drive me nuts. And I don't mind the rides, but when they all want things done at once and expect me to rearrange my plans to do their bidding, I get upset. It's really my sisters that get that way. Matthew's good about letting me do my stuff before his stuff when he needs help.

I also pulled out the Wii. I haven't played it in a while. So, I got a chance to play it. I wish I had some Wii points at the moment. They've added Super Mario Bros. 3 and Bubble Bobble to the virtual console! We were talking about video games last night, and I brought up the fact I have a Wii. I have discussed this fact with Joey many months ago. We talked about the golf game on Wii Sports. He still seems interested in trying it out. We had talked about playing the golf game back when I took that golf class. I told him I did well at the virtual golf. I just suck at the game in real life. One day, I'll see about getting together with Joey at his house just so he can beat my butt at yet another game. Yes, but I am the Yatzhee champ between the 2 of us!
