Poker night. I left $2 poorer, and with a Boston accent stuck in my head. I don't often hear strong ones such as that and I have an annoying habit of repeating other people's speech patterns when I'm talking to them.
Today was my cousin's birthday. She's fourteen and I can't believe it. She was five when I moved to Florida, and the brattiest child I'd ever met. Now, she's awesome. She got the role of Clara in the Boca Ballet's Nutcracker. I'm dismayed that I'll be missing the performance.
I called my aunt Hayes today to finalize the plans for Thanksgiving. I was trying to determine whether I could spare the time to get to Greenville and visit an old friend, but the schedule for the weekend is too jam packed. Oh well. I'm looking forward to seeing all the aunts and uncles and cousins. It'll be awkward until I'm accustomed to not having Dad around to interpret for me and keep me abreast of what everyone's talking about.
I haven't contacted my stepmother since I left Utah and I feel terrible about it. I have no idea what to say. I started out writing so many emails/letters/cards but discarded them. I need to find the words soon.
