Meanwhile, Back In Southern Cali...

Hi, Everyone!

So, today is Friday, March 22, 2013… and it just hit me—today is my Auntie Brenda’s 47th birthday. Happy Birthday, Auntie Bren, and may The Good Lord continue to rain blessings down upon you. Love ya lots!

So, the weekend is finally upon us, and I'm looking forward to every moment of it. By the way, here is my next speech assignment: I have to talk about why I chose to pursue a degree in the major of my choice. I get the feeling that this speech is gonna be fairly easy. I mean, let’s be real—I’ve got more than enough reasons as to why I want to be a teacher, with the obvious reason being my Grampa Clark—and I’ve been saying that since my debut in August. Needless to say, I’m gonna have some hellified fun with this here speech!

In other news, I had a good long conversation with Becky last night, and she was telling me how excited she is about graduating from adult school in about three months. I’ll be home by then, and of course I’ll be cheerin’ her on. She also told me about a recent term paper that she received an A+ on. Her paper was a dedication to my Great Gramma Lynn, my Gramma Jewel, and my Auntie Cherri, and it was entitled “Lynn, Vivian, and Cheryl: Past, Present, & Future.” She read the paper to me, and I was like, “Wow!” And I’m not saying that because Becky is practically family—I’m saying it because it’s the truth. Becky focused on each lady individually, and brought it home at the end by talking about how they each inspired and encouraged her. Becky did a damn good job on that paper, and she deserved to get an A+ on it!

Becky also told me how she and Gramma Jewel had a chili cheese party two weeks ago. I sure hate that I missed it (for obvious reasons), but mainly because Becky helped with most of the cooking. I am to understand that she showed out on the chili cheese nachos. It sounds like Becky is becoming quite the cook, and it’s all because she’s been hangin’ around Gramma Jewel; she’s got that kinda effect on people.

It sounds like my family is managing to have a lotta fun without me—and that’s cool and all, but it won’t be long until I make my next big return. After all, the summertime is just around the bend… I mean, it’s just around the corner, and we’ll definitely have to have a chili cheese night.

In case you haven’t caught on, I am a huge fan of chili and cheese!

Oh, yeah: Cousin Calvin and Cousin Nessa told me not to feel so bad on account of they missed the chili cheese night as well. It had rained something serious, and understandably so, they didn’t want to get caught up in that ugly traffic.

Well, y’all, I had better head on back to my Bearcat duties—in particular, get started on my next speech. I’ll holla at y’all tomorrow.


Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
