Perpetual Bliss

I am dragging Ax to a Baby Fair tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing the booths and attending the lectures.
We are also attending a barbecue in celebration of Ax's mom and dad's anniversary. It's being held at Ax's brother's house. We are very rarely invited over to Brad's house. Seems they promote an image of being very well off and far too busy to associate with mediocre people such as ourselves. We've also got the impression that they work hard to impress other members of their church (a very cliquish Church of Christ). It's possible that Ax and I don't quite fit that mold. I know it bothers Ax that his brother basically ignores him. Brad doesn't return phone calls or e-mails. It's very heartless of him. I think this will be the second time we've been invited to their house in the past year. We attempt to invite them to our house only to receive non-committal answers of whether or not they can attend. If they do attend, they are consistently at least one hour late.

Why the heck did I get off on that tangent?!

Back to the point. There shall be bliss in gathering together to celebrate a good thing. There is bliss in good food. There is bliss in attending baby related functions (just because I say so). There is bliss in NOT having to come to work for two whole days!
