Today was actually pretty darn fantastic! With the exception of my mom not feeling well (poor Mama), everyone in the family had a good day. I got to spend the day one-on-one with my fab cousin, Shawn. Granted, I worry and feel competitive when we've got all the family together and the parents are bragging and the grandparents are asking questions, but one-on-one, I feel no need to live up to anybody's expectations. We had a good talk, and we had fun shopping (buffalo exchange, who knew?), model homing (soooo much fun) and having lunch. It's so strange though seeing her so grown up - I keep reminding myself that I've changed, so of course she has...but she's 5 years younger than me, and I have a tendency to remember her as about age 12 (that's around when we stopped spending entire summers hanging out and watching VH-1/MTV). Still, it's great to have a family member who I can talk to - I just have to remember, too, that she's NOT my friend and NOT my age - so I have to be careful what I say and not lay anything too heavy on her. In any case, it was much fun, and I look forward to hanging out again sometime - even if that's not for several months!
One more question: where'd the summer go?? It's SOO cold now - let's hope I have someone to keep me warm this winter (grin). g'night
