And the drama just got worse from there. My mother didn’t want to go to my father’s sister-in-law because she doesn’t like her. (Dude, my uncle is dead and his four-year-old daughter who is growing up without him should be everyone’s priority, but apparently the adults in my family are babies themselves). My aunt Bea decided to get into everyone’s business (shocker) and started in about Meg, my brother’s girlfriend who pretty much lives with us. She said Meg was rude and not saying hi, and I flipped on her. Of course Meg isn’t going to say anything — every time she opens her mouth, my aunt says something rude, inapproriate and it’s always about something that’s not of her business–which is exactly what I told her. Oh what fun.

So, yes, the holidays were okay in most respects but I could really do without the teen-style drama. I can watch Gossip Girl for that and at least get cute guys in the mix.

I headed out today to return and exchange stuff that didn’t fit and hit the bookstore for yet another script book. It’s another PHP/MySQL book, but it’s set up differently than PHP and MySQL for Dummies so I hope between the two, I can start to grasp the language better than I had before. I thought about picking up one of the CSS books, but I figure I’ll save that. I’m passable at CSS, enough at least for my own satisfaction right now so I really want to concentrate on PHP/MySQL. You get tired of trying to find scripts to do what you want your site to do. It’d be so much easier to just write it myself so I know I’ll get what I need.

I should head to bed — have to get up early and clean out my room so my father can put together my new desk (with tons of shelving and storage, whee!) and bring up the mattress I got for Christmas. My room’s going to look fabulous when it’s done, I’m so excited.
