Today has been a super long day and I'm at my cousin Em's house doing my daily blog for you wonderful readers and I'm super tired, having driven about 7 hours today, so I hope you are all feeling super special right now!
Emilee and I had a great day exploring Cleveland (pictures and thoughts and announcements to come!). Em and I have totally bonded these past few months and our trip today was lots of fun. We had entirely stupid conversations about large v. small teepees, and very serious, though provoking conversations about making changes and what type of things motivate us, etc. Emilee has an uncanny ability to know literally every single song that comes on the radio and be able to sing the words as soon as she hears it-- we spent most of the trip with the radio on "scan" and Em never missed a beat singing to whichever song happened to be playing for the 3 or so seconds.
As we came through Jackson on Highway 49, Em looks at me, quite seriously, and says, very quietly, "Jess, when we make it to the other side"... and pauses. I immediately start thinking about what is coming next-- "when we make it to the other side of this life? The other side of our tough times we've had recently? The other side of death? Heaven? Difficult choices?" I'm thinking of all the deep thoughts she might be about to expound on, and perhaps she's going to mention our grandparents, who we've just been talking about, or perhaps she's going to mention how much happier we will be once some of this toxicness out of our lives, or once we learn how to make ourselves happy, or some other Oprah-type self-love.
And then she says ... "of Jackson.... can we go to Krystal?"
Yes Em, when we get to the other side... we will go to Krystal.
BLOGGER'S NOTE: Last week I had a very interesting post about Wonder Woman and possible casting options for a new Wonder Woman. And today, this was announced. Coincidence? Or does David E. Kelly read my blog? I think we all know the truth.

# 45 Mi Casita, random messaging, blasts from the past, Subway, and losers...
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! I hope all my readers have a fabulous Valentine's Day!
Its been sorta a long day for me-- I had my Junior Auxiliary Meeting, which was interesting. More on that another day, perhaps. I'm not ready to share yet.
Emilee and I went to eat lunch at Mi Casita and we wound up sitting there, in the back room of the new Mi Casita, and talking and laughing and being stupid all afternoon long! We had a great time discussing various topics such as Fraggle Rock (still wish I was a dozer), Morgan Freeman (he's not been in a whole lot of movies here recently), Sara Evans (we love her new song), our Mexican waiters, Gummi Bears (the cartoon, not the candy), spilling our drinks (Em spilt hers all over the place!!), favorite movies (You've Got Mail was mine, Em needed more direction and a more narrow genre before she decided), who we'd pick if we were on a desert island (we both agreed that a good boat builder was a good choice), You Tube, old school rap songs, Pro Bowlers in the NFL, and bad choices we've made. It was a super fun day. Tonight we met Aunt Ju and Lori for a Valentine's dinner at Subway-- February is Footlong Subway month-- a footlong for the price of a 6 inch! Can't beat that!
Enough rambling for one night! I'm about to head to Newton to spend the night so I can get up early and do lots of work!!! Happy Valentine's to you all! YOU are my Valentines!!
