Yes. This is definitely part of the problem.
She phoned with cousin 1 yesterday and gave her ideas about making the meet-up more practical.

I just don’t get family members who involve themselves in activities they are not a part of. Maybe she wants to be part of it and thinks she’ll be invited if she does this.
Over the years I stopped speaking to many members of the extended family for reasons just like this.
Busybodies. Boo

My sister's birthday is on May 6. Cousin 1 who is now coming to the big city on May 4 is going to take cousin 2 and me back to the country with her car. So we are at home for the birthday event.

She re-scheduled a meeting with my cousins. Without my knowing. She is not even part of that meeting! It was difficult to find a date (May 31). Now it's on May 4. :shocked:

Hmm.
Maybe she needs to spend more time online?:wink:

Could be her new "outlet?":rofl:

Have not used Emma for a while, now. I always forget how lightweight she is.
Now, off to more wrapping. :P

Good ol' Emma.:heart:

Still in timbuk2--was asked to buy knife for $1, by bedraggled man on street.
I refused.
Yet thought, "Wouldn't this make a great instagram handbag photo?":rolleyes:

:lol: Well, you cannot write "purse" often enough! ;)
True, no exercise needed. I have more books to pack, but I am lazy...
Also, had a fight with my sister yesterday. :annoyed: She is organising my life again and I told her to stop. Now she is offended. Hmpf.

Packing books for two weeks must be something!:panic:
You are not lazy, Ludmilla, you are just tired :sad:
Going to the gym is nothing compared to lifting boxes.:panic:
As for your sister, just ignore her comments ....Answering her means losing your energy and you need it...:loveeyes:

Guess you are right. I will pack only a very few (almost no) books today.
Slow Friday. ;)
I try to ignore my sister as good as I can. Sometimes it works. :P

Am stealing this term!:tup:
However--yelling, "Hey, special! Thanks for turning your special car in front of my bike, without looking at the special-special roadway! Go special yourself!" loses many colorful swear words. :thinking:
And I so like color.:lol:

Correction: good new Emma:heart:

Cycling in April's 30mph winds hardened my thigh muscles into stone.
Hopefully, May will be easier on us all.:P

Hehehehe. Not sure, if my sister would be happy about bulky book friends. Nice idea, though. :lol:
I fear that May weather will be awful around here.
Hot April is cold and wet May in our area....

Whoopi is sending a hello back. :wave:

Oh Ludmilla! Sounds like you need some drinks this werkend! Hevy book lifting and anoying family! So much for challenge.

My sister can be a pain in the but I turned from fighting to being nice and using her own weapons, which has improved the situation tremendously.

Love the bag!


This werkend great! We had spring for two days and now we are right in the middle of summer. Was using my Jacket for two days - turned to summerdress today. Temperatur will be 28 C tomorrow.
