Happy Father's Day!
Jun. 16th, 2003 12:23 amYesterday, my sister comes back from shopping with mom and says"Hey Sally, they had a special on cousins, so we got one." I turn around and there is my favorite cousin in the whole world, Cori!!!! I was so happy to see her. I haven't seen her in about 2years. It was great. We talked til 5 am after having gone out with my sister and listening to live music at this pub The Grog Shop. I really wish we lived closer to each other verses on opposite sides of the continent(CA -me, NY- her.) She and I went to the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame today and it was great!!! I saw so much and learn a bunch as well. I can't believe that the term "Rock n roll" was said in Ohio first, as I knew it was Alan Freed who had said it, I just thought it was in New York. It is a place I would say all music lovers should go, not just rock lovers.
My grand parents left today to head back to Niagara Falls where they live. I was not really sad to see them go, but then again I couldn't help but remember when I was young and all they had taught me. My grandma taught me to ride a bike, to swim, to cook comfort foods, to can, to grow a garden, to love a bargain, to look at things differently and not let people hurt you, to trust people unless they let you down twice, and always try to turn the other cheek any way. I guess she was a major influence on me but some times it is hard when she says things like "Where are my great grand children?" My grand pa taught me to hide when your mate starts nagging(he had a basement hideaway!), to love the one you chose, to try to always move forward and to know when to stop fighting with the one you love. ("You can't always be right, but neither can they.")
My parents are the same, not happy, but living in the same house. I never understood it as Mom was always happier when Dad wasn't around. Josh doesn't seem to listen to him, and he hates Ohio, so... I just don't get it. But they aren't me... My sister is doing okay, she is on a date with a guy we met here on Thursday. I hope she is having fun.
I really need to start putting more of me here and not caring what any one thinks who reads this. I have limited myself as people feel this is the end all be all to what a person is doing in life. I have not put some things as everyone who may read this could use it as "Oh my god... did you read what she wrote..." I have fallen for that myself. I took something that was written as the way it was not just some one putting down feelings and thoughts and it back fired. We have since talked, but it was hard. Some times I wish I could post and not have any one read it and other days....I could use the input and experience of my "friends".
Well it is off to dream land. Nite!
