Blogging has paid off!

I got home from a playgroup to find a UPS box on my porch. I brought it in to find (wait for it, wait for it) 15 GRANNY B'S PINK SUGAR COOKIES!!!!!!!! This box was sent by my cousin Lisa who read about my love of the pink cookies right here a few posts ago on this very blog. And just as Kirk became my favorite sibling merely by sending me one pink cookie from the MTC, any fool can see that Lisa has sky-rocketed into the number one cousin position by sending me 15 pink cookies (this will not help my ab sitiation, but let's forget about it for the moment, shall we?) But you know, come to think about it, Lisa has never been far from my number one position.......It all started back when I was probably about 10. The year - 1988. We had a family reunion one weekend in Mesa (where Lisa lives). Lisa was the ultimate cool cousin because she was probably about 18 or 19 and she invited me and my sister to stay with her for the rest of the week. Mom said yes and we got to fly back to Vegas at the end of the week. We had a great time tubing down a river, seeing the original "Batman", bowling, and laughing a lot. Really great memories from my childhood. Fast forward to the year 2002, Lisa flies all the way to Memphis to come to my wedding. I didn't even get to really hang out with her because I was so busy getting married and all, but the point is that she came, all the way here. There are actually more reasons, but for this post's sake, that will do. So, Lisa McCain, I salute you! You're the best! (And to all my other cousins out there, don't give up, it's still worth trying to redeem yourselves.)
