Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

Why am I so gosh dang tired? I wake up each mornin’ fixin’ to do a lot in the day but I start out feeling SOOOO tired. Of course, I’ve been eating kids’ junk food all day long, not drinking enough water, and haven’t been to the gym in a week! SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top 3 expressions in Texas:

1) I’m fixin to… [INSERT VERB]

2) Ya’ll doin alright?

3) DANG!!!!!!!!!!

That last one I love because it reminds me of Napolean Dynamite–people really say that, dude!

Anyway, my sister’s problem child, someone that even tests MY patience and sensibilities, is leaving for California. She has MAJOR mental health issues, throws tantrums, breaks glass, starts fights, hits my mom (HER GRANDMOTHER), screams profanities, spits loogies (and has hit everyone in the family at least twice while spitting outdoors)… I could go on… ANYWAYS, she leaves tomorrow and I think it will be a HUGE burden lifted off of the family and my sister especially.

We’ll go to Austin tomorrow to take her for an early flight and then we’ll enjoy the day, I think. Museums, strolling the neighborhoods, sightseeing, hit the capital again, maybe even paddleboating on the river!! WOO HOO!!!!!!
