I’m sharing recipes and tips on being frugal while polishing up my photography and creative writing skills. There’s an occasional spiritual discussion, a book review here and there, and probably more pictures of my dog than are strictly necessary. It’s part chat with a girlfriend over a glass of sweet tea, part conversation overheard in the grocery store checkout line, and part Thanksgiving dinner with the crazy branch of the family.

It's All Relative

A few days ago one of my step-brothers was bitten by a copperhead while hiking.  He was bitten on the hand.  He was bitten on the hand because although he correctly identified the snake and knew it was poisonous he still poked it with a stick.

Then yesterday my step-sister (completely different family, absolutely no relation to the aforementioned step-brother) got married.  AWWW.  She got married on the same day her home-incarceration anklet came off.  She's on probation for selling prescription drugs.

Comparatively, I'm both classy and brilliant this week.  Seriously, you can't make this shit up.

Oh, honey, I think we all have relatives that make us brilliant and classy by comparison. If nothing else, it keeps us entertained--usually the stories are better than the ones you see on TV.

See, I usually just avoid thinking about how messed up my family is. Who knew I should be using their screw ups to feel better about myself.

I am truly superior. Thanks for helping me see that.
