Sometimes I sit alone
Waiting for me to call on the telephone
Just so I can hear my soothing voice.
And then I gaze in the mirror
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear
And kiss my picture on the shelf.
I'm not in love with you...no.
I'm in love with myself.
I've got this song stuck in my head right now. I think it was written by one of my older sister's college friends and got passed down through the younger siblings until it became, among us anyway, a family classic. I can hear it perfectly in my head just the way my brother would sing it.
This silly tune has me missing my family like crazy. Missing them just like I do every time I hear about Broncos football, quote the movie Goonies, or eat Greek food. I see pictures of their grown-up-looking kids (or in some cases, their actual grown-up kids - I've got nieces in college!) and hope they still remember their silly aunt Brittany. I should go visit them more. I should write letters. I should text them. I usually don't - but Family, I love you guys. And I miss you like hard rolls and warm Coke.

Brittany, I'm sorry you have to do things with our family so often. No offense to my family, but they're not yours. Maybe Matt should find a job in Vernal. Is that about half way between families?
How could anyone forget you, Brittany?
I know the feeling; I know the feeling.
miss you like hard rolls and warm coke huh? awesome! don't worry they love you.
I've been waiting for you to post again. it's been a little while.
I think you should go for a visit. Sound's like it's time.
Vernal??
Thanks for making me remember how lucky I am to be with my family so much! I will hug them all next time I see them.
I know how you feel, Britt. The other day I had this line stuck in my head, "Do you want me to send you back to where you were, unemployed - in GREENLAND!?" We should hang out this weekend.
Youch. Usually I'm the one in CO reading about how everyone else misses home. Now I'm one of 'em .
And it sucks being the youngest. I have no recollection of that song. ha. But I knew what Christian was talking about!
The sad thing is, I miss your family, too. Obviously not as much as you do, but could use some greek food and good company right about now myself.

katie
p.s. hows the big T?
I miss your family too, like too much food and explaining card game rules.
It's cute how matt says "explaining card game rules" when what he really means is "wiping the floor with those people."
Kay, first of all, that song was from the writers of the show South Park when I used to hang and party with them and Beck at Evergreen High. They gave us a tape of goofy songs they had made up and that was one of them...I knew I should have kept that tape...it would be worth a fortune on e-bay now!!! It also included "Twin brothers in Love." Classic. And FYI...you can call anytime you want, I'm always around! Cause you know Britt, "it's our time... it's our time down here..."
My favorite song from that tape is the one with the guy who's sitting on the train tracks...and then gets run over at the end of the song. Aaawwwwee....memories.
I don't know any cool songs, but I can come pick you up at your house and laugh alot and I can tag you on my blog too! Come check it out!
