Stupid Florida
My sister moved to stupid Florida yesterday. This makes me very sad. She's not the see-at-family-functions only type of sister. She's the maid-of-honor-godmother-to-my-daughter-good-friend type. Boo.
I tried convincing her that Florida is stupid. "There's an entire category on Fark.com that's called Florida, due to all the idiots that live there," I told her. "Hurricanes," I said. "Jeb Bush!! Jeb Bush! You don't want him as your governor, do you?" All to no avail. She packed up her gigantic gas-guzzler & headed out anyhow.
She's got herself a teaching job there. It's really hard to get a job up here in the suburbs where they have such luxury items as textbooks & parents. I told her there's always a contstant abundance of job openings at my school, especially 2 weeks after school begins when the faint-of-heart storm off the job. It happens.
She didn't want to work at my school. Don't know why.
Well, I wish her luck, begrudgingly. We're just going to miss her a lot. Maybe her apartment building will be infested with snakes, alligators & old people and she'll want to come home right away.
Boo, sad, missing sister.

Sorry to hear you're missing your sister, L.
My sister is living in India right now for 3 1/2 months, maybe longer--I know how you feel, and her move is only temporary.
I think Florida is stupid, too. But maybe now you, Dev, and little E can have a new vay-cay spot??
I also think Florida is stupid. I think you will find a way to stay close to your sister. I have nothing to base that on other than you seem to be a pretty resourceful girl, smart and all that and married to a guy that's smart and stuff and you guys like to travel.
Good luck kid.
Florida is SO not stupid and neither are sisters.
They rock and so does Florida.
ummm yeah, you just mad me cry....i will miss all of you very much, and remember IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY....it was very hard for me to move....you better keep updating me on all the pictures of Ellie....
so yeah i know you think Florida is stupid, but i am here and we have to accept that.....
So stop making me cry...
Ok fine, Florida is great.
I just want you here! But I hope everything works out for you there.
You better come back!
Oh hey, I thought of another reason Florida is stupid...Oct 03- Cubs v. Marlins...
I'm just kidding. Have fun. Don't get mixed up with any rich, Dutch boys on the beach, or any such nonsense.
Awww. That's bunk. Perhaps when she is harassed by enough giant bugs, lizards, tree frogs, and aggressive birds, she will come back to Chi-town where the drug dealing is a little less obvious and the racism a little less blatant.
They got some pretty sweet trailers down there. And planned communites that are designed to keep out riff-raff but are rented so they end up keeping in the riff-raff. Such a crap-shoot. Miami=awesome. Fort Myers=dump.
I just like how Michael worked "agressive birds" into his remarks
Agressive Birds is a great band name.
