I
was well enough to go out and do some errands.  I got a cake for
my grandma to celebrate her getting her citizenship and Easter goodies
for my mom and dad because they always do something special for
everyone else.  I went on a wild goose chase for Flaky Flix, my
dad’s favorite cookies, but I guess they don’t make them anymore. 
  I ended up getting the closest thing
I could find.  Oh, and I picked up a little something for Miss
Anita, my kooky former neighbor.  After that I started feeling
like death warmed over and headed home. 

Grandma is actually my stepgrandma.  She is originally from Canada
and finally decided to apply for citizenship after fifty years of being
here because she was planning to marry a man (actually her dead
sister’s husband … long story) in Canada and needed citizenship to go
back and forth or something.  Anyways, the wedding was called off,
but she was already almost through the process.  So, now she is a
dual citizen.  Although Grandma being able to vote is not
something I really feel like celebrating, I did agree to go to a party
being put on by one of her church ladies to celebrate the
occasion.  It was only after I agreed to attend that Grandma
thought to tell me that it’s a costume party.   
We are all supposed to dress in the traditional dress of our country of
origin.  Hmmm … what to wear?  I’m thinking jeans and a
t-shirt.

I’ve got the house to myself tonight.  
Toshi’s having dinner with his best friend.  I planned to clean
the house, but as I was eating dinner, I started to channelsurf and
came across Gidget.  Ha!  Get it?  Channelsurfing …
Gidget!    Anyway, who can
resist Gidget in all its corniness … horrible acting, fake surfing
against a backdrop, sappy family interactions … I absolutely love
it.  And yes, I will admit to watching her Tammy movies as
well.  It’s so sad that Sandra Dee’s real life was so tragic.
