My Own Private Idaho

I went home to Boise this weekend, where I realized five things:

1. I get along with my parents eerily well.
2. Flying to Boise is really only marginally quicker than driving. Plus side: no broken down automobile incidents.
3. My siblings are some of the most amusing people on the planet.
4. Even though I've never lived in my family's house (they moved about a year ago), it still feels like home.
5. I need to stop tanning, as I am 37 shades darker than Sydney and Logan in the pictures to the left. Yikes.

Guess I wasn't taking my duties as Tan Watcher seriously enough. Sorry.

I really need to see My Own Private Idaho. Isn't it supposed to be Hamlet, or Henry V, or something like that? Or have I just made an ass of myself and I'm thinking of a different movie, or you weren't even referring to any movie at all? And I just need to stop typing....

Well avoiding another car incident is definetely worth the flight. Although I personally think there is nothing pretty about Boise- maybe its because I was going through the whole car sick thing but I am sure it was fun to see your family! Hows work? Any trips to Dubai yet?

You mean you're NOT a different race from your siblings? I definitely get along with my family eerily well, too, and I LOVE every minute of it! I'm glad I'm not alone in ONE of my abnormalitites...

still tanning? vanity is such a shallow thing! I have it on good authority Meggan avoids her family--except when autos/bank accounts/clothing/food in Happy Valley just ain't cuttin it any more.....All unknown pearls of knowledge aside...did any of you know she REALLY liked attending the Stephen Stills and the Hot Tuna concerts with her Dad????

Remember that day you were running an errand for work and your truck broke down or was on fire. Then I sent Jairus and Miotch to come help you. What were they going to do with a broken? AWW I miss those days.

You are hilarious! It's amazing how you get older and start appreciating the little things. You are quite tan, lady!

this picture looks like someone turned down the brightness on a black-and-white 'xerox' machine. but they missed your siblings, and only got you.

also, are lindsay and i the only people who appreciate your use of COMPLETELY random numbers? 37?

kuDOS.

lindsay says her random number lately has been stuck on 8. she needs to change it soon or it loses it's status of random.

longest commment ever? i'm shooting for it!

A and L said...

I didn't know you went tanning...I thought you naturally tanned more than others....I'm glad you don't try and hide it.
