In Defense of Herself

Between my finger and my thumb,
The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.
-S. Heaney

I will be labeled, among other things, the "scatter-brained" cousin, the irresponsible cousin, the cousin who probably won't have her passport in time, or "The English Major." These things, except for the English major part, are all untrue. While I may be slightly less organized than my business minded, mature, controlling cousin, Kathleen (who I shall from this point on refer to as "Leeny"), it is important to note that she is my senior by no less than 45 years, give or take.

Anywho, the whole trip was my idea. After receiving the check from my nearly fatal car accident, I decided that it was time to travel and called my cousin, Leeny. I figured, "She's loaded; she has flexible hours; I don't HATE her (hahaha), and my parents definitely trust her!" Nah, I'm just kidding. She might be a little anal retentive, but I love the big goof.

Now, if only my passport would come in...
