I'm so Becky!

Last night, I spent time with some of my family members who were visiting from Ohio, my Mom's side of the family.

Oh what a time we had!

It was so nice to sit and talk about family members who are no longer here, and the great times we had as kids. We went through old photos and my cousin went around the room and gathered info from everyone so that he could update our ancestry.com family tree.

Two of the highlights for me were hanging with my cousin Resa, who loves to talk as much as I do! It was awesome!!! There were times when she would actually stop and say, "Wait, was that ME talking, or YOU?" HILARIOUS!!!

The other highlight was having so many people say how much like my mother I am...especially in looks. Yes, I am most definitely my mother's twin and the older I get, the more evident that becomes.

Interestingly, in personality, she and I are NOTHING alike. My Mom was a pistol...a spitfire. I, am quite the opposite. I wish I had more of her fire, more of her spunk, more of her "I don't give a f*ck what you think about me, this is me...PERIOD!" Man, I wish I had more of that.

Little by little, I'm developing that spunk. What I'm learning as a result is that friends drop off like flies when you start standing up for who you are and what you believe. On my Mom's last day, she didn't leave behind many friends, but EVERYBODY know what my Mother was about, and that she didn't take no mess...from ANYBODY.

So...as I get older, I hope to have more people notice how much like my Mom I am becoming. Not just in looks, but in personality. I am sick of taking sh*t from people, and it's about time that changes.

Now...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Are you anything like YOUR Mom, either in personality or looks, or both?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
