My cup of Joe
Random fact: My aunt calls me Peaches because when I was a baby, I was born with red hair, and it all fell out. For a while I was seemingly hairless, and then one day my cousin and I decided to have a food fight. While in our bath, my aunt noticed the little tuft of blond hair on my head and observed that it looked like peach fuzz.
I called my aunt last night. We talked for probably a half an hour on my way home from school. It's final. Uncle Bobby (my mom's brother) and Aunt Ila are getting divorced...again. They remarried a couple of years back, but he has rage issues and control issues. Sound like someone familiar. No, not me, silly. Aunt Ila said that I'm VERY different from my family because I am open to others' opinions. She said that when I was little, Teresa could do whatever to me, and I would just sit there quietly and take it. I do remember her bouncing on my head at one point....hmmm...i wondered where those brain cells went. I just looked helpless and hoped someone would help out.
I later learned to be outspoken about certain things. No one bounces on my head anymore.
Aunt Ila says she has hope for me. I have not inherited as much of the control issues as my family has. Which is a relief, not only for her. And she's agreed to be at my wedding. Reguardless of connection by marraige, Aunt Ila will always be family, just as Teresa is family by blood. Although ofttimes in this family, water is thicker than blood. I have many friends that are more family than my own blood is. I love my Aunt. So much. *sigh* I wished I could be just the ten minutes away from her I've lived most of my life so I could just drive over and give her a big hug...but I couldn't. That's new.
I slept fairly well last night...after I finally got to bed. I had stayed at school for the alto sectional, which I was late for bc I fell asleep in Dez's room and the alarm didn't wake me up when it was supposed to, so Amanda called when I was late and woke me up. Yeah, I wasn't happy. Who likes to be woken up after only sleeping for an hour? Anyway, I did the sectional and went straight home, only to get engrossed in a part of "Short Circut". I managed to pull myself away from the movie just before it ended to take a shower...a shower that ended up pissing me off because I ran out of warm water. No I wasn't in for that long when it happened. grr and I still had to rinse the conditioner out of my hair. That's difficult in cold water. Anyway, I was about to crawl into bed at 11 when Dez called all upset. I was on the phone with her for half an hour. I heart you, Dez!!!! Anyway, as soon as I got off the phone, I dozed off. Thank goodness. I think I remember waking up around 4:30, but other than that, my night was restful.
And now....I'm going to die.
