Oof. Czech family reunion. Not gonna eat again for a week. At least. And probably never going to eat poppyseeds again. Ugh. Damn food-oriented aunts.

Actually, I wouldn't mind some celery or something. Just so long as it's not dessert or any form of casserole.

I think I've finally got a handle on the small children in my branch of the family. On the other hand, three or four of my cousins are now starting families, so it may be that I am speaking too soon. Either way, my award for cutest male cousin is split between Reagan (18 months) and Graham (7 months); my award for cutest female cousin goes to Jessica (also around 18 months).

I've now had a full week of Rice classes and have reached several conclusions. First, I adore the thirteen-year-olds who want to be my friends in my 9:00 class. They are wonderful. They are absolutely the hope of the future. Huzzah for them. Second, if the thirteen-year-old who wants to be my friend in my 10:00 class doesn't stop pestering me, I'm going to hurt her. And, third, my 11:00 class needs to stop growing right this minute. It's getting claustrophobic in there.

I'm really tired and going to head off to peaceful oblivion now. Good night to all.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the memo that you were Czech.

Does this, for some reason, come as a great surprise? What were you expecting?

(I have a Scottish last name. However, that would be explained by the fact that the Polish Jews on the other side of the family - the non-Czech side - came through Ellis Island with something unpronounceable and got handed a new one.)
