one of my favorite things about Brandon's family is their penchant for giving their cats ridiculous nicknames.
This is Taupey, who is taupe in color. She is more often known as Crotchety Von Softness, so I'll let you guess about her personality and what her fur feels like.
I'm working on explaining why I started this blog. So, uh, bear with me on this working explanation.
My family (growing up) had a few problems here and there. Most of them now refuse to speak or see each other.
Well. I just got married. Which means I have my own family. And so help me, I'll be damned if I'm going to repeat any of those mistakes.
If you follow the logic that hate comes from fear, I guess you could say I truly fear my inherited family situation. And hopefully the more I name these fears and throw them out onto the web, the less scary they'll seem. And I can finally just get over it and focus on the family I want to create and have.
And hopefully-hopefully, let other people know they're not so alone with their wackass families either. I don't want to say I'm HAPPY when I learn of other people with estranged family members, but I do feel less like a failure and bad person.
Like I said, this... this is a working explanation. Oh, and it's a year long. Thumbs up.
