My dad had 3 siblings and this family group is the one I'm closest with. I'm the eldest cousin and I want to do something. Other than touching base with them and being a long distance chat buddy, I'm not sure what else I can do.
I'm working from Starbucks in downtown Denver today - staying near the vet office instead of driving across town twice today. It is COLD AS FUCK in this place. I dressed warm, but didn't bring a jacket. I'm wishing I had gloves too! I might have to look up a different place with wifi to hang out. Ugh.
With the cold, and knowing Steph's fondness, here's a recipe for a casserole topped with tater tots.
Ooh, that looks delicious.
Other than touching base with them and being a long distance chat buddy, I'm not sure what else I can do.
Suzi, that sounds like the right thing to do.
Dana, I agree with shrift.
In other news, someone in my neighborhood is selling a movie theater type popcorn machine, and I want it! But how ridiculous is that? But I want it.
Dude. Jesse. You have to get that.
Ooh, movie popcorn!
Mmmm tater tots. That sounds great.
Sorry you have to leave chorus, Dana. Sucks to do the right thing sometimes.
Sorry you can't be with your family, Suzi. That's hard.
You know, processing expense reports really reinforces my resentment that while some people are charging sushi dinners to their company cards I have to pay 95 cents for a Diet Coke.
And my aunt has passed. My dad just sent an e-mail. I tried to call him and ended up crying on his voicemail. I sent a text with love to the cousin I've been talking with. Now I'm sitting in Starbucks trying to not completely bawl.
