Sex... love... uh oh's

Knock on wood

After I wrote my last post, I packed all my stuff and laid down to get a few hours of sleep. I was totally dreading the morning because I didn't want to get on that plane. What I wanted to do was go upstairs and sleep next to my sister. (My brother in-law and the kids slept downstairs that night) She just puts off these vibes that make me feel so safe, and so good when I'm around her. I knew I would feel better if I went and slept next to her, but I also knew I would probably cry up there and I didn't want to wake her up. So I finally fell asleep then woke up at 8am to get ready. I kept trying to delay but finally when my brother and sister in law were waiting in the car for me I realized this was it, I had to say goodbye. I, of course, started crying and my sister just hugged me and said "Heyyyy, don't cy. (yes she said cry without the R, long story) You're going to be just fine. You're strong, smart, and beautiful and nobody can take any of that from you. I'm always here for you whenever you need me. I love you so much!" I really think God sent her into our family as an angel. I have NO idea what I'd do without her. So, after that I got in the car with my red swollen eyes and we left. I tried to hide my tears from my brother but when my sister in law asked me a question and I didn't answer they both looked back at me and my brother tells her to give me a tissue. I thought he would tell me to suck it up, that I was being stupid, or quit being such a baby... but he was totally understanding. He was SO nice the entire rest of the day. I mean, he was really going out of his way to be nice to me. This just doesn't happen with him, ever. Which makes me wonder if Serena or my brother Paul had a talk with him about me. I figured it would be short lived so I was enjoying it while it lasted. He was nice like that the entire day and night yesterday. After we picked up their dog (Jake), and we were in the car he tells him "Now Jake, you have to show your Auntie lots of love, and cuddle her ok? She's sad and she needs you. So that means no biting fucker!" It was so funny. Last night they took my cousin to dinner at a really upscale steak place here and invited me, but I decided to stay home. He told me feel free to order a pay per view and light a fire if I wanted. These may be really simple things, but they aren't things he ever just offers. This morning, well, actually around noon he and Jake woke me up after Jake had just had a bath. He said in his Jake voice "C'mon Auntie! I'm ready to play!" So I got up to play with him for a while, then we all went to see Meet the Fockers and to dinner. Tonight, he came in my room and asked if I'm ready to get my ass whooped at Playstation 2. So we played for about an hour and never fought once, which is unheard of! I don't know what this is all about, but I love it.
