Family Reunion Woes

I have somehow been appointed as the organizer of my family reunion for this year. Let me say this……………I don’t ever want this friggin’ responsibility again. I am literally pulling my hair out!

Everybody wants the reunion to be pulled off, but nobody wants to be the one to organize it. I, like a big dummy, agreed to design the invitations, and thus was thrust into the position of HEAD HONCHO.

This year we’re going with a Hawaiian Luau theme. Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts, roasted pig, the works! Sounds pretty good, right? Well, let’s just see how fast the money for reunion dues start to trickle in.

Lawd, sometimes it doesn’t pay to do things with relatives. They don’t want to work on your time, they want to work on their own time. If we weren’t kin, I’d kill ‘em!

Oh, I almost forgot. Check out the invitations. Kinda neat, eh? Just ignore the pixelated text.

ok, let’s make a deal. if you e-mail the whereabouts of this year’s family reunion (because, for some odd reason i haven’t received mine yet), i promise not to sneak a ham hock off of the pig in a pit (for some reason y’all forgot to add them to the collards last year. i just felt someone needed to take the initiative and handle that. my bad). oh, and i won’t cheat when we’re bobbing for pineapples. but if that tax rebate check doesn’t come by next week, i may have to pay this year’s reunion dues just like last year…

with food stamps.

looking forward to seeing you!!!

So I’m not the only person with those relatives with grandiose plans and no follow through? Whom I had to remind that while they THOUGHT my middle name was one thing, it’s really Not That Negro? Gotcha. LOLOL. :)

I’m sure you’ll do a great job at planning the family reunion. If you do too great a job they may try to make you the leader of the reunions again. But if you serve bologna and kool-aid they won’t bother you anymore. Just kidding. *lol*

Nikki!!! If I’m in Jacktown this summer, I WILL be there fixing a plate like I’m yo cousin. LOL.

Those are very creative invitations. And that Luau idea is da business.

I get mad at my family whenever it comes to reunions. They always try to have them in Mississippi where my parents live when everyone is supposed to take turns throughout the country hosting the reunion. We had to have a reunion right when my parents had moved back from Florida. That was crazy!

I suggested next time my family hosts a reunion, put it on a cruise ship. At least they’ll be sitting around and eating all day with an ocean to look at rather than sitting around the house eating all day.

the invitations are lovely and i really like that theme.

girl dealing with your family is a headache, i know with mine it is we did a family reunion in memphis and had a hard time with folks paying their money on time etc.

they have contacted me to help organize one for next yr. i have not even returned their call, i can’t take it anymore, i’d just rather pay my money.

hey why you pixelated the text i want to attend yall reunion :)
