Extravaganza Journal #2

Well last night was very interesting. My aunt came over and started bawling because she hasn't seen us for 10 years and blah, blah, blah...and she smells like smoke. I have twins 18-year-old cousins and a 15-year-old cousin and we all went to a restaurant together last night. I'm pretty sure I have never felt so awkward and completely different in my whole life. The last time I saw my cousins I was 7 years old so we don't really remember each other and they are just so different. They are all smoking and I feel so awkward because I was about to cough up my lungs. Anyways...last night I got to hang out with my grandpa....this man is my favorite! He is hilarious! This morning he took my sis to watch the sun come up (cuz we don't have the same sun in Fresno...) on his new motorcycle. Now this motorcycle is called the Tango (or the banana as my grandma calls it). Just the name itself doesn't sound like a normal motorcycle. It has three wheels and looks like a European electric car thing, but it's a motorcycle and he let me drive it! It was so terrifying! It doesn't have a gas petal, you have to use the throttle....it was terrifying but I didn't run through any fences or anything...and it's bright yellow! So my 64-year-old grandfather drove me around Dallas in a bright yellow Tango! And last night we went to Bennigans (we used to have one where Logan's Roadhouse is now in Riverpark) because my mom used to work there and she loves this sandwich so we went there and I had the "Ultimate Baked Potato Soup" and oh my goodness......so good! So tonight were going to a steakhouse that apparently has the biggest baked potatoes. So we'll have a good dinner tonight.
