Journeys Unexpected

In just over two weeks, I'll be going to Colorado to visit my aunt, cousin and mom. My mom still has no idea that I'm coming, which greatly pleases my aunt and I! My cousin is excited for my trip, and has done an AWESOME job at keeping it secret! I have tickets for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" - the midnight showing tomorrow night!!! I'm super excited! It will be the first midnight showing I've ever been to... as well as going with my friend, Matt! I didn't want to go alone, so I enticed him to come with me! It should be loads of fun! My sister and her little family have the "bug" that's going around. I had it Saturday and Sunday, MommaLady had it on Sunday, Dad has it today... not terrible, just uncomfortable. Little Star threw up in the middle of the night, so I got a phone call from my sister this morning asking if I'd do the laundry that was the result of said ickness. She told me she didn't know how to repay me, but I...

I'm feeling depressed, just a little, but it's there. I keep thinking about my old job and wondering about how Little Sparrow is doing. Not a day goes by when I don't think about him. Thought it would go away after almost 5 months... Anyway, I'm going to Colorado at the end of this month/into next month for two weeks! I'm excited! I leave on the 29th and won't see my mom until the 1st; it'll give me time to spend with my aunt and cousin. The last time I went to CO was in 2005, and I didn't get to spend more than an afternoon with my cousin and a lunch date with my aunt. NOT ENOUGH TIME! I remember when I was little and got to spend lots of time with my aunt. We look very similar and people would think I was her daughter. I sent her a picture I took with my phone, she sent one of herself and we still look alike! I'll be sure to take LOTS of pix and put them up on Facebook. Well, I'm off to listen to my iPod. I love music! & movies...

So, I got a phone call last night from a number I didn't recognize, that went something like this: Me: "Hello?" Caller: "Hi." Me: "Hi?" Caller: "Hi!" Me: "Who is this?" Caller: "Taylor." Me: "Taylor who?" Caller: "Your cousin! Taylor!" My 9 year-old cousin called me from his mom's cell phone she recently got! It was a nice little surprise! I got to talk with my aunt, too, and she does texting, so now I have another person to text me! I got a picture of her and my mom and am excited to see current pix! Then, this morning I got a phone call from my aunt with a proposal: she wants to pay for me to go to Colorado and spend time with all of them! And, it is to be a surprise for my mom! My aunt and I are very sneaky!! So fun!
