A Very Berkeley Fambily Get-Together
Sep. 8th, 2012 11:09 pm30 of us gathered in the Bay Area this afternoon to celebrate my (upcoming on 9/11) 50th b-day. 'Twas a Very Berkeley gathering w/lotsa extended and convoluted fambily, along w/several friends who I've known for a very long time.
Attendees: Me. Mom & her current husband J & his identical twin brother, D, and D's son, J2, & J2's girlfriend, A. Mom's previous SigOther, G, and G's current wife, K. G's ex-wife, E, and her current hubby, B. G&E's eldest daughter, J (my step-sis), and her hubby, D2 - who together w/Mom & J hosted the occasion - and one of D2's sisters, L, and two of L's kids. G&E's son, W (my step-bro), and his wife, P, and one of their sons, W2, and one of W2's soccer friends. Mom's previous hubby, M aka Dad, and his current wife, A, and two of her kids (my step-sibs). My l'il bro, G (son of M aka Dad & Mom, so technically my half-bro), and his girlfriend, M2. My former boyfriend K from high school (late 1979/early 1980). My former boyfriend N from right after high school (and first couple years of college, on 'n' off, so early 1980s). My former boyfriend K2 from late 1995-early 2000. Mom's friend J3 who's known me since I was a couple months old. My friend LR (cuz of my high school best friend and now a Dear Friend in her own right), who flew down from PDX (not the wackiest travel for the occasion though, as l'il bro G & his girlfriend M2 flew up from SoCal this morning and then flew home this evening). Phew & fun!
It was a marvelous, memorable occasion and I feel well celebrated and loved and fĂȘted. :-)
