The World Is Treating Me Bad - Misery
 I've had a lousy sore throat all week which developed into a nasty head cold yesterday, just in time for my niece's first birthday party, which was held today. I love my sweet little niece, don't get me wrong, but my brother summed up today's party perfectly: "Every time we go to any get-together for Maddy it has to be a huge production with 50 people."
I mean, there are 6 members of our immediate family and my sis invited two of her good friends. So my brother-in-law (who has a big family to begin with) invited every single one of his friends. He spent most of the party drinking in the garage with his buddies. Their tiny townhouse was filled with at least 40 people. It was fucking ridiculous. My niece got so many presents that anything I bought was totally insignificant. I didn't even get to watch her open the presents I got her because there were so many people in front of me I couldn't even see anything. At least my brother-in-law's family and friends are nice, which is more than I can say for my own grandmother. She topped off a basically miserable day (admittedly, I would have had a better time if I hadn't been sick) quite nicely. She's not exactly known for her tact and I know I've been a disappointment to her, never having been married (she's called me an old maid since I turned 30) and without any kids. So as I was leaving she asked: "What did you do to your hair?" I reponded: "I coloured it, why, do you like it?" She made a disgusted face and emphatically said: "No." I just walked away from her. You gotta love getting together with family...
