What?

My sort of/somewhat/perhaps future sister-in-law wrote in her blog that she's "been in this sorta family mode....like wanting to have a kid, get married, be a stay at home mama...you know, all that cheesy shit." Then she goes on and gives a glossing over of some of the weirdness she's gone through with a certain member of her family and other family things. To me, it seems like she misses having a family that she doesn't have to take care of, that she doesn't have to be the one trying all the time.

I wish that I felt comfortable enough to yell at her that being a sort of/somewhat/perhaps future sister-in-law of mine, she does have a family, mine/my brothers/possibly hers. There are two problems with that though. The first is that the majority of the family is about 150 miles to the east. The second is that parts of the family did try to get to know her a while ago, but something horrible happened in her life and it stunted whatever sort of relationship may have developed between them and any steps the family tried to make at that time were rebuffed, but steps tried more recently have also been rebuffed (mostly by my brother, though). That means to start new a getting-to-know-you period she'd have to take the first step. I doubt she will.

I wish she would, though. I really like her, even if she does admit to enjoying Brittany Spears for the music and not the cleavage. She's smart and funny and has a wonderfully insane amount of pop culture trapped in her brain and has a lot of energy. I'm waiting for the day when she finds something that interests her enough that she really focuses her entire being on it. Nothing will stop her when she finds that thing.

Anyway, my day has been spent thinking about that, and looking busy... and trying to remember the Thundercats's theme song.
