It's strange, because in my family we're all part of 'the pack', you know, large extended family. But not only is she an only child, she has no relatives nearby.

My mother turned out fine, DD. Crazy, but fine. I think it's why she became an actress though. All that attention she got as a child... she was starved for it!

My niece will follow those footsteps... she's already a drama queen, and is in dance classes. I guess the drama queen runs in her blood...

I confess my favorite gift I've gotten so far today is a picture frame that says "Sisters" with a picture of my sister and me making goofy faces. Aww.

I just laughed. I was miserable here in an apartment, I would be miserable here in my own house with no landlord to fix crap. They have both been weepy all morning. My flight is at 3:30. I am jumping for joy.

A couple of years ago, my mother - with whom I have always had quite the adversarial relationship - did the same weepy thing - and I reminded her that she can't stand being with me for two days in a row.

Relatives are better loved from a distance. Then we can all glorify them in the cozy scrapbooks of our minds...

...and leave it at that.

Mom and Dad split up 20 years ago. Mom remarried, but then her second husband died very soon after. (That was so God-awful.) She lives on an island in WA (where I have many cousins), and Dad still lives in Kansas, which is where I grew up. He's the only true-blue, die-hard New Yorker of my immediate family... and he's the one still living in Kansas! I always find that amusing. As he puts it... he had enough of the "big city" all his life. He prefers the "greener grass in the other quieter yard" now. My brother lives in Denver. So we're all over the map, these days.

I'm very close to both my parents still. But they're crazy "artist" types. Keeps life interesting, though. And keeps us all "young" in heart.

Wow, you're all pretty spread out. My family (except for me) all live in the same area.

My dad died in 2003, but I'm pretty close to my stepmother. My mother never remarried. We're not close at all, although I think she thinks we are.
