The family reunion.

So this past weekend, we all enjoyed a lovely family reunion & birthday party for my Aunt who turned 80 years old.  I love when the whole family gets together.  It's a great way for me to catch up with all of my cousins.  They are all about 10 years younger than me........but I act as if we're all the same age.  I think they like it.  They probably think I'm really hip and cool. My cousins all started asking about my little girls and how they are as sisters. "Oh, they're awesome!" I answer, "Super close.  Really loving.  Kind of like me and Mishi".   I throw my arm around my sister. "What are you talking about??"  my sister says while giving me the stink eye.

"That wasn't a compliment"  he says. "Whaa???" "You SHOULD work out.  And you SHOULDN'T eat junk food". "Hahaha!  You're hilarious!"  I laugh and walk away.  That guy was funny! So I'm sitting at the Y the other day sipping my coffee, when the Zumba instructor (or Zumba lady as I like to call her) walks by me. I look up at her and quickly look away, like I didn't see her. "LEEOOOOO!!!"  she says in an angry voice. "Oh hey!  I didn't see you there!  How's it goin?  How's ....z
