I'm Such a Sap

My cousin from St. Pete called last night. That's nothing unusual. We've been talking almost daily for over 10 years now. But the cool thing is, when they come up here next weekend they are bringin' me "stuff". YEAH STUFF!!!

She has always been my older sister. Our mother's were sisters and when her Mom passed my Mom stepped in. When her Dad made her move to Florida we lost a few years but we've more than made up for it, believe me. Anyway - she spoils me. Terribly. She knows what I like, what I enjoy. She knows how important the little things are and how much pleasure they bring me. At Christmas I always know that I'm getting exactly what I want - without even asking for it (and usually without knowing I want it). Same for Birthdays and well, any day.

So she called last night as her daughter just moved into her own place. Yesterday was moving day. Usually I'd be there helping - but it's kinda a long drive from here. She wanted to let me know everything was moved and the place will be just fine. (she knows I worry)

Then she blind-sided me. "We're bringing your favorite coffee. What else can't you get up there?!" Food? My favorite food? That I've been craving and have had to "rig" in order to cook? I'm so excited!!

Then we got to talking about how we only get 36 hours together. They have a get together with her Dad's side starting on Saturday so I only get them from very late Thursday night through early Saturday morning.

Tammi: You know I'm gonna cry when you leave me. Hell - I'll cry when I see you. And the baby?!?! I hope he remembers me...(cue sniffles)

Cousin: How could ANYONE forget you?!? For cryin' out loud. And yes, we'll all cry when we leave you too.

I'm such a sap. Sometimes I hate being such a softie. But I sure do like bein' spoiled. ;-)
