Weekend do-over

Valerie Anne Kelly
Oh, how I've missed her, my little sister... is the tune I'm whistling these days.  But some good news finally (no, not about my car.  Nothing on that yet), Siri is in town for a day, en route to a college classmate's wedding this weekend.  So one glorious day catching up, laughing at old jokes, and finally introducing Ryon to her.  I'm certain my mom is going to make sure that her one day home leaves her feeling full for weeks.  It's strange to think that I haven't seen her since January, which doesn't sound that long ago but feels like eons ago.  A part of my heart lives in Portland and I'm glad to have it back, if only for a little while.

I'll be kicking my weekend off early tomorrow night and thank goodness for that because I've got plans.  Tons of baking, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and reading to do to make up for the funk of last weekend.  I feel like this year is turning a corner, no?  The weather is warming up, the birds are chirping, and 2014 is going to be all about good juju from here on out, right?  Come on, who's with me now?

  7. um, i am pretty sure two parts of your heart live in portland hahahahahaha. oh! i am so happy for you! january does sound like a long time ago actually. and that is a very long time to miss someone so much. this visit should just set everything right, things are going to go from this yucky car jacking streak to a rainbows and ryons and sisters holding hands and skipping streak. and then you will see her again soon when you visit pdx. next time it won't be so long.

  8. Enjoy sister-time! January WAS a really long time ago, no wonder you miss her so much! Clearly you need to move to Portland, and then you can hang out with her (and Christine!) whenever you wanted. xo

  10. Hopefully you hear something about your car. If not your car, hopefully at least you get good news from the insurance company soon. Such a bummer. And I think this year is finally taking a turn... spring is in the air!

  15. Now that I'm at home doing my MA, seeing my little-definitely-not-quite-as-tall-as-me-yet-honestly sister nearly every day makes my world. I'll definitely be missing it again once I finish and head on to pastures new.

  16. Bummer about your car. It's frightening that it can just drop off the radar like that. Hope you had a fantastic weekend with Siri!

  22. Sisters are truly the best. Mine is my polar opposite, but I can still firmly claim that sisters are, indeed, the best.

  23. Hope you have fun with your sister!!! (looks like you did from the later posts) My sister only lives 45 min away and we STILL don't get together as often as we could/should. I couldn't imagine her living across the country! Yes, the year is turning a corner. Though it's supposed to be 32F tonight. WEIRD.
