Bad Habits
We all have our own vices, and annoying ticks. It is just a fact of humanity.
My time here with my family is helping me see mine. It is taking everything I have to not correct my cousin’s grammar and phrasings, and to not boss everyone around!
I think I just found my New Year’s Resolution! I gotta keep my smart aleck-y ways in check!
What will be yours?
Awwwwwwkward.
Ahh, Christmas. A veritable treasure trove of awkward/funny/loving moments with family. Here is one of the first section:
Scene: 5:00, the family is sitting around the tree chatting. I enter, as I am making cocktails in the kitchen.
Me: Anyone in here want a drink?
Aunt’s Husband (AH): Ya makin’ margaritas?
Me: I think Uncle Chuck is…do you want one?

Belated Holiday Greetings!
I hope everyone had a great holiday season, and are enjoying tons of good quality time with their loved ones!
I know I am. My family is full of personalities and GREAT senses of humor, so this has been very much an entertaining holiday, and providing a treasure trove of good stories, but yet again my Grandmother (the accidental hipster) wins the day.
For Christmas my Grandmother created a set of...

My Mother.
My mother is the source of my best material. She is honestly the most funny person I’ve ever come across in my life. She is also convinced that I look like a number of famous people. Here is the latest conversation we’ve had on the topic via email:

The Accidental Hipster
I’m sure many of you can sympathize with the fact my grandparents were raised in the depression, and then came of age during the whole WWII era. These world events have definitely made permanent marks on them-making them thrifty, resourceful, and in my grandmother’s case, kind of a hoarder. Her food hoarding and practices are straight up legend in my family, but those stories...

Dramatis personæ
The key part to any good sitcom is the supporting cast, right? I mean 9 time out of 10, the supporting cast is way better than the lead. In my life, this is absolutely true.
