Allo again! It's late and I'm really tired so forgive me if this doesn't flow the best...
I'm having fun at my aunts, working on my skirt a lot in addition to other things. The skirt will maybe be done tomorrow except for the hem, which will take a while since I'm going to do that by hand. I saw my cousin and her kids tuesday. The baby spent the day with my aunt and me while the family went to six flags. Gabby is sooo cute! She loves to help out with anything...We hand her a few forks and tell her to set the table and she'll go throw them up there, hardly able to reach the table lol (shes 1 1/2) and she's even really good about cleaning up toys. She talks a lot for someone her age, but very little of it is understandable, many "gaaaagoo!"s and such, though I SWEAR when she was looking out the window it sounded just like she said "Kitty cat" but there was no cat and I can't imagine her pronouncing that when she only knows a few words and even those are hard to distinguish. Anyway, we met up with the rest of the family for dinner so I got a few minutes to talk with Ellen, but I don't know when I'll get to see her again on this trip...I think she's feeling left out lately since she's the oldest and easiest to care for, so she wants some attention, and she asked me for some help with her crocheting because my aunt never gets a chance to work on it with her when she's here because so are the other three kids and it's practically impossible to do something with one without the others wanting to join in, get frustrated, and go wild. I hope I get some time with her before I go home, but she lives like 45 min away so I don't know how that'll work.
Tonight, my other cousin and his wife came over for dinner...I'd never really been around either of them much (I've actually only met Lindsey three times, one being her wedding and another being tonight) and somehow I never really spent any time with Randal when I was little. I like them both a lot though...Lindsey's a math teacher and so we talked about that for a while and my aunt and Randal told us we were crazy haha. They're so cute together though...They've been married since the beggining of April and they still act like a new couple...teasing eachother about things and sharing inside jokes all the time...It made me smile to watch them, but at the same time it intensified how much I miss Corey.
Not much else to write about...because I don't want to get into the gay marriage voting thing except to say that I'm not happy with the descision that was made but I don't really want to have an argument (or "discussion" with someone against me) about it so I'll leave it at that. I'm exausted and things are really blurry since my eyes don't want to stay open lol...So I'm off to bed to wish that it would be Sunday. I'm having fun here, but I miss the kidney! (i almost wrote "I miss my kidney" but that sounded weird) Gnight!
