Meeting the 'rents?
12.16.06 (1:33 pm)   [edit]

Last night was my work Christmas party. I didn't think to trim my right thumbnail. And now I'm in pain!!!

We went bowling, and I always rip that nail off -- okay, maybe not that severe. But it always breaks, and the more I bowl, the more it keeps ripping across. I eventually asked for a band-aid, but it ruined my game! And the band-aid didn't really help either. I won a prize for getting 2 strikes in a row (it was weird; I was getting strikes every other frame, almost...BWAHAHAA). I got some lovely cups adorned with bowling balls and pins. I've been needing cups. The ones I bought when I moved in -- I've broken half of them!!

I felt bad for not making enough introductions to Mr. Nick. People were introducing themselves, so I thought he actually met everyone. Then he pointed out he had to introduce himself. Oops. Even though I don't have a problem introducing myself, I kind of like being introduced. I think he feels the same way. Man, was I thoughtless. 

And he mentioned his mom asked him if I was going over for Christmas dinner. I've never met his family before. Once again, he offered me an out in case I wasn't comfortable with the thought of meeting his family. "There is going to be a lot of people." But I think it's going to be his sisters, their families, and his parents?? I am thinking his grandparents will probably be there, too.

I don't have a burning desire to meet his family, but it'd be nice. I'm kind of indifferent to attending this dinner. Christmas is a big deal for him; it's not so much for me. I don't know...given the choice, I don't know if I'd want to go or not. I'd go if he wanted me there.

He did ask you to go... doesn't that mean he wants you there??? Why don't you care to meet his parents? I think it says alot about a guy, how he interacts with his family! I think it could be a very interesting eye opener!! I'd go FOR SURE!!! :)

Good Luck with that fingernail Rosie! I can almost feel your pain! haha

Maybe it's just a technicality but he didn't ask me to go?? *L* His mom was asking him if I was going to be there. You have a good point about seeing how his family interacts though!! It sounds like his family is quite close, which I like!! (Unless it's like cult-close...then I'd probably want to head for the hills!)

I didn't even know he talked about me to his family! I hope they like me! I guess I should tell him that I will go. I figure the bigger the family gathering, the less of a focus there will be on me!!

Yes, he is interested in you getting to know his family. It be interesting to go and make your observations about his family. If you don't have anything else planned, you should go.

I think I will go my boyfriend's family for Christmas. Too bad I can't just be a fly on the wall!

Thanks :) I think I will pick up a gift basket for his family, too. I don't know what else I could bring them!

I don't mind the big gatherings. I think I am used to those. With smaller gatherings, it can be even more awkward because you're forced to speak!! GGAAA!
