Mia's Mimi invited mom & me over for lunch on Thursday... she is the best pseudo-grandma a girl could ever want (especially when the girl's thousands of miles from her real ones). Lunch was delicious, as it always, always is... and even more exciting - Mimi has the coolest toys EVER!I'd have to say the bestest toy was her "vintage" McDonald's (I say "vintage" because it was "Aunt" Kellye's when she was a little girl.....whoa! ... don't you know - that's old!). We made cheeseburgers for mom & fries for each other (aka: passed plates & money back and forth across the counter to people). Now I know that working at McDonald's is hard work!... too many screaming people saying... "more fries, please" or "another cheeseburger, please"... blah blah blah.... can't you just let a couple of girls play?
Many of you guys know that Mia is practically my sister... we're almost twin-like, considering we
were born not even 2 weeks apart, and because we see each other so much. So... you can imagine that every once in a while (& lately a little more often)... we can "butt heads" so to speak. I mean, really... no sisters get along ALL of the time, right? So - if I take her monopoly money - she takes it back.... and when she takes it back - I scream... and when I scream - she screams.... la la la. I think it kinda freaks our moms out just a little, but we know how much we love each other!... like sisters!
Mia, my sis.... I hope you know how very, very much I will miss you when I move to Texas in a few days. You have been such a very special part of my life & will continue to be so - FOREVER, I hope!! Each time mom says your name, I light up like a Christmas Tree and start asking... "maaa? maaa?" I'm not sure what I'll do without our almost daily play dates... I'll miss those sweet squeals & wild hand waves that you always give me when we see each other for the first time... and you better believe I'll miss my famous "Mia Love Hugs"!! Could you mail me one?? They say that we may not remember our time together forever..... but we should be glad that our crazy mommies & daddies have taken hundreds....NO - THOUSANDS of photos of us, so that we can re-live these 17 months when we're older. We'll keep in touch.... and who knows.... perhaps we'll meet up in college someday (that is - unless I decide that being a McD's drive-thru clerk is my calling). I love you & miss you already.... keep givin' those parents trouble... enough to be from the both of us! See ya later, alligator!!
