COLORADO BOUND!

I'm leaving today to fly from Philly to Denver where the vast majority of my immediate family live. Am I excited? Please, send help. HELL YES!!! I love my family. It's true, I do. Not sure why I crossed this out. They're some of the greatest humans alive. I raised them well, and they put up with me because what else can they do? are grateful for my astute tutelage (aka tute tute). I even raised my parents, who are arguably older than me. It's a long, complicated story. I won't bore you with the details here. 

So, Colorado, here I come! 

I know you can't wait to see me. Colorado tries to lift itself off the map and move to Canada.  Since you, my countless readers my mom and a homeless guy who happened upon one of my posts in the library are foaming at the mouth to know, I'll give you a few deeply personal details. 

I'm the oldest aka wisest of four girls, or FAW GAWGISS DAWDIZ, as they say in our native NY. My younger siblings are beautiful, talented, successful, and kind, but they don't sing as well as me. It's okay. Nobody's perfect. I tried to teach them, but they insisted on singing off-key. Not my fault. I gave it my best. I never tried to teach them to sing. 

And, my parents? Legit rock stars! Judy and Fred are the parental units everyone dreams of. My dad makes a joke out of every word that comes out of anyone's mouth, even if world hunger or Covid deaths are being discussed - a truly special talent - and my mom thinks everyone should eat red meat and never parade naked in public. I tried to explain I only did once. Okay, maybe twice, but seriously? Is it such a bad thing? I mean the God I don't believe in brought us into the world this way, so He/She/It must've wanted to SEE OUR STUFF HANGING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE, RIGHT??? 

I'm also going to see my oldest son, Adam, whom I adore almost as much as my younger son, Ethan. Unlike my parents, he's an actual rock star. He strums guitar, writes songs, and plays drums better than most people walk, breathe, or flip other people off for no apparent reason. Check out his personal blog here.

Anyhoo, I need to wrap this up or I'll miss my flight, which would be a blessing travesty. I'll send pics of my beautiful niece's wedding and other Colorado adventures. 

Until then, be kind to one another, treasure the moments, and get your sweet self vaccinated. 

Please and thank you.

Big love,

Debbie xo
