Are you sure it was that long ago.....

Last week, I decided to actually check me myspace account and check in on all my friends and family’s pages. A huge surprise to me on my cousin’s page was one of his sisters. I had not talked or seen them in 17 years (the sisters). It is a really long story why and I skip it, but I decided to send a friend request to Dani and she accepted. We talked through myspace email for a couple of days and then we exchanged phone numbers. So I called her on Thursday night and we talked for about 2 hours, just catching up on everything that has happen in the lifetime apart.

I did not realize how much I really missed her; we were really close as kids and were always around each other. I wish our family was still that close. I mean I really felt like we were kids again and staying up past our bedtime at a slumber party. It was great!

While I was talking to her, she gave me Nicky’s phone number and I called her. We talked for 2 ½ hours, before I was too tired and both cordless phones died. Yes, we have two cordless phones and both were fully charged before we started talking…I actually had to find a corded phone…who would have thought that those might actually still exist? J jk So we caught up on everything that has been going on with her.

Then last night, Dani and I talked through myspace IM about memories we had of Uncle Buddy and the silly things we use to do when we were young. We talked about Ka-sha (the dog), the house on Addison, the rabbits in the garage, Uncle Buddy’s recipes (like cabbage and rice; spam, mac and cheese, and tomato sauce combined), and the white and orangish-red truck.

I really miss my cousins. We are going to have to figure out a way to see each other before next summer.
