Aug. 29th, 2009 04:35 pmI have made a decision. The other day, I decided that I'm going to read ALL the V.C. Andrews books. My goal is to get them all read by the end of the year. If I keep reading them at the rate I have been, I should easily be able to do it. Especially after they move out and I have no internet. I'll have nothing to do all day, anyway. I'll probably see if I can do like I have in the past when I have no net and see if I can go over there once or twice a week to check up on things. Hopefully they'll say I can. We'll see.
Oh. And I was googling my grandpa's name (I really don't know why. I just felt like it) and stumbled on a MySpace of a girl in San Antonio that said her Grandpa, with the same name, had 5 kids, blah, blah, blah. The way she described him just sounded right. She also resembled one of my cousins up here, so I sent her a message telling her I thought we might be related and asked her some stuff. Turns out I was right. Just got a message back from her today telling me, yes, my assumptions were right. She mentioned her mom's name and my dad said, "Yeah!" b/c he couldn't remember if his oldest brother had 5 or 6 kids. So, I sent her a message back. It's so cool to actually know the name of someone down there, besides my uncle and a couple of his kids. I know my dad's been wanting to go down there for a while. The last time we saw my uncle was when he was up here about 5 years ago. And he's getting pretty old. I think he's...like 79 or so. I'd like to go down there and see him sometime before he dies, too. I mean, I've probably only seen him a dozen times in my life. And most of those times I was pretty young. Like, under 10. The last time I was down in San Antonio to see family down there, I was a month old. The only thing is, dad doesn't get his vacation and personal days until next September. He gets vacation soon, but it wouldn't be enough time. Hopefully he'll be able to take the full 2 weeks next year because he also needs to head over to Idaho and get his truck out of storage and send it back over here.
And just because I feel nostalgic, a pic of me when I was in San Antonio last time.
