  When did Kristie get engaged? Am I confused? This is Bob's sister, right? What the hell? Why do I suddenly feel like I'm on crack and didn't know it before? Did I tell you guys about my friend Nina from middle school who's 2-year-old had liver cancer? They took out most of his liver and he had a lot of chemo, but he's doing fine now. I've been thinking about Nina quite a bit lately, after Suzy told me about Dylan, but I never got around to calling her. Last week, Suzy sent an email that one of our other friends, Scott (yes, the same Scott I kicked in the shins every day of our 6th grade year because I didn't want him to like me, an action that totally came back to haunt me in 9th grade when I fell in love with him even though he had a girlfriend and I was moving away), is going to be a daddy.
Nina's email address was on there, so I finally figured out what to say and emailed her on Tuesday. She called last night and we talked for 3 and a half hours. Dylan is doing fine. I got to talk to him a couple of times and he and Nina were playing while she and I talked.
I'm going to go meet up with them at the Children's Museum next Wednesday. I'm so excited! And one of our other friends is having a baby. Kelly Freidle and I used to see who could come up with the most creative insults during biology class. Unfortunately her shower is the same weekend of my uncle's wedding, which I agreed to go to on Tuesday night because I feel bad for Mom having to go to Ohio and stay with Grandma and not have anyone there to talk to who will actually listen and let her get a sentence out. I also miss my Aunt Renee, and Rebecca will have had her baby by then, so we should be able to see the new cousin-once-removed. We're not sure Rebecca is going to the wedding because she was so upset that Uncle Jerry is getting re-hitched so soon after Aunt Patty died.
That funeral was last winter, wasn't it? Yes, I realize I'm asking you to remember an event that I went to, but that's what friends are for, right? ;D Anyway, so Rebecca is all upset that Uncle Jerry is getting married, but what she's not realizing is that the man can't take care of himself. He needs someone to cook and clean for him and trim the hairs off the end of his nose, out of his nostils, off and out of his ears, and from the bushiness of his eyebrows.
I'm telling you, that man has more mis-placed facial hair than I care to think about. There was something else, but I forgot. I guess if I can't remember later, it was a thought that was never meant to be...;)
