Meet the Family - Part 6: Steve

Updates are in straw

Yippee!! It's the final installment in Meet the Family and we are ending with a bang. Steve, who actually chose to marry into the Rosenberg family, is the last to be introduced and I really think that we saved the best for last. Snicker snicker.




























Isn't he, um, special looking. I really wanted to include the most hysterical picture I have ever seen but Sarah wouldn't give it to me. She said Steve hid it somewhere, but I don't really believe that. As much as she talks the talk, I suppose she needs to support her husband once in awhile. But I really wanted the picture and I was willing to pay for it.

Steve married Sarah in 2003 after they had been together for a really long time. He automatically got sucked into Sarah's Disney passion. He tells me that the only cruises he has been on are the same ones that Sarah has been on, so no need to repeat all that. His favorite vacation, though, was not the same as Sarah. He gave the "good husband" answer - always the last he took with Sarah. How sweet. Someone please stab me in the eye right now. In terms of the Alaskan trip, he shares the sentiment as many of us - he is most looking forward to watching David get eaten by a polar bear. He does fear getting eaten by one himself, though.

I have an important pointer for the rest of us to take note of on our trip regarding Steve. He has a little problem when it comes to taking pictures. Now you may recall that Sarah gets carried away with pictures of the sky or pictures of the water. Steve, on the other hand, takes pictures of himself CONSTANTLY. Apparently he thinks he is good looking and we should have photos of him. The problem is, though, that he nabs your camera when you aren't looking, and Surprise! you'll find a little gem later on. These pictures just aren't good. And yet he continues.

Also on our trip, we must make certain that Steve doesn't injure himself. If he does, he is liable to pass out. What is it with men? Both Dad and Steve get all squeamish around the sight of blood. Man up boys! Goodness gracious, I hope I don't get injured in your presence, neither one of you would be much help passed out on the deck.

I'm back with more stuff to add (thanks Sarah!). I firmly believe Steve has a bladder problem and needs to get to the doctor ASAP. In what has become mostly a joke, anyone going anywhere with Steve must wait while he goes on "Steve's Favorite Ride." I think he has been in every bathroom in Disney World. I'm sure he'll get to know each and every restroom on the boat. I can't believe I left out my very favorite Steve story the first time around! Many years ago, while visiting Sarah and Steve in Boston, Steve was wearing his pajama bottoms completely unaware that his boy parts were hanging out for all the world to see. I got a bit of case of the giggles. Ok, I huge case of the giggles. I was ON THE FLOOR laughing hysterically at the scene. Oh my god, it was funny. Next time, Steve, make sure you're all covered up.

Have you met Lottery Steve? I'm still waiting. Lottery Steve has promised me so much stuff when he wins, that he's not going to have any left over for himself unless he wins the biggest lottery in the history of the world. Is this like 'Have you met Ted?' Ok, most of you won't get that. But you know who does? Team ASS!! Living for all posterity on the floorboards of a condo in Cambridge. Good memories in that condo - the same place with the boy bits incident.

A few last little tidbits I'll mention but not elaborate on... Steve is the lone Republican in the family. If I could vote someone out of the family this week, it would be him. Having a child is good for Steve - he now has more of an excuse to act like a crazy person (not that it ever stopped him in the past). He snores. He has a few favorite t-shirts - they are red and straw colored. And falling apart. And Sarah hates them. Like the rest of us, Steve is cute and single. Oh wait, my mistake, no he isn't. Lastly, we'll all have to help Steve on the trip while he goes through video game withdrawal. It's like he's a 12 year old with all those video games. Stupid Bioshock.

I once again realize I have left stuff out. Part of the reason is because Sarah said I couldn't be too mean. Hmpf. The other reason is that I had all these good ideas for what to include but I forgot what they were. I'll add stuff as I remember it (in a different color, just like with Sarah).
