My cousins Shelly and Scott were in Arizona this weekend, and I was lucky enough to get to hang out with them for a bit this morning. They were not, mind you, wearing these outfits or smiling like this the whole time (I can't believe that I didn't think to take a pic of them, or especially have Scott take a pic of my Shelly and me... ridiculous!), but I wanted to show you all how cute and happy they are - so here's a little flashback to Jan 2, 2009 for you all to enjoy.Anyhoo... Scott has family here in Az, so they came to visit them. As I am widely known and accepted as the kind of black sheep cousin who would ditch her own church in favor of having some quality time with family, I missed out on my meetings so I could meet up with S&S at his brother's church - after which I brought them back to my house for a brunch of burned eggs and toast. Do I know how to entertain, or what? (And, btw, who knew that eggs could scorch like that? ... I'm wondering if it was all the cheese. I've never seen/smelled anything like that before in my life.) Between the burned eggs and the bacon, I set the smoke alarm off three times. (Which is a record, even for me.)
It was so flipping fun to see Shell (and Scott, of course). We laughed, we cried. We had cousin bonding. It was a good time! I love my cousins.

3 times, WOW!!
Hahahaha... I KNOW! It was a record, even for me. (And trust me, I've burned stuff and set off the smoke alarm before.) I'm telling you, it was the cheese in the eggs. It melded to the pan in a manner that was altogether unholy and it smoked up a storm. ... Completely disgusting. (And apparently, left a pot-like residual smell, since when someone came over today - a full 36 hours AFTER the burn - the first comment out of said vistor's mouth was "have you been smoking in here? ... it smells like smoke, and I don't mean cigarette smoke".) I'm thinking now would be a good time for my home and/or visiting teachers to come over. I could freak them right out. :-)
I LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!
Is this the irreverent cousin you like to laugh with in the temple?
Whitney, I love that you know that I'm irreverent. (And that you just ask me if this is who I'm naughty with.) No, this is not (yet) my most irreverent cousin (I'm working on her, her churchy husband has a hell of a good influence on her though, so I don't know how successful I'll ever be with that).
My most irreverent cousin is Julie, Shelly's older sister. Julie and I are super naughty. We don't MEAN to be... we just are. :-)
