isn't it pretty to think . . that we could pretend like we all lived at home again as if were 10 years ago?
my grandfather passed away last monday so we're all at home. and when i say we're all . . i don't just mean all the thammarath's in one home. but all my cousins, aunts, and uncles that i grew up in san diego but have since moved to denver, phoenix, etc. with are all here too . . which is great. i feel like we should pretend like it's thanksgiving or super bowl just so we can reenact those times we all spent with one another growing up.
1. i can't wait to be an aunt. my brother is getting married next year (yes, apparently, one thammarath will embark on the whole life time partnership thing) and he'll probably be the first to have a child (malisa is no where close to getting married and she wouldn't have to give my dad a heart attack . . and well, i'm still a child and i don't plan on having a child while i am still one myself). earlier today, kim, my brother's fiance randomly wondered out loud how their kids would look like. would they be spot on like james the way my brother is spot on like my dad? will they have a smash up between the two of them? how will that look? will they be like me and have fine strands of hair like my mom but the thickness and amount of hair like my dad?
2. while driving up to temecula, my sister randomly said, "i think i should just move back to san diego and open up a restaurant." i told her if she did that, i would wait tables for her. she asked, "you're gonna quit ur job in dc and move back to san diego to wait tables at my restaurant?" i told her, no. but it would be perfect if i was in grad school in san diego and i waited tables on the side. PhD student by day and server by night. i like the sound of that.
3. i love that my grandma doesn't get embarrassed when i act like a 5 year old and hug and shake her in front of all my relatives.
4. i love that i could spend hours downloading music and reorganizing my itunes. i don't love that i'm running out of space on my phone and i can't just sync all my music on it.
