Cousin's daughter. Since I am Aunt Missy to them, they are my nieces and nephews. Her middle name is Josephine.

It's apparently a thing in this family. My father, my nephew, her...all of them go by shortened versions of their middle name.

Plus, we have too many K's in this family, so it's less confusing. My cousin-in-law, my nieces' mother, my step cousin, both of my nieces, and my nephew all have names that begin with K.

I have so many nicknames for my DD, Missy being one of them.

Aww....these things make me sad. Muppet Vision 3D is one of the few places on earth where I laugh out loud at things. I can recite most of the script from memory and yet there are at minimum three times where I will laugh out loud every time I see it. The fact that it is a 3D movie that spends a large percent of its time totally mocking 3D movies is fundamentally appealing to my (usually latent) anti-society leanings. And, not to get political, but Sam the Eagle was Steven Colbert 30 years earlier.

I'm in your camp. I always enjoy myself and come out of the preshow into the attraction and out the door laughing.

My real name is Marisa. No one besides my parents, a few of my relatives and people who have known me for a long time, and best friend call me that. I barely even respond to it. Because I'm, well, short, and always have been, my grandmother started calling me that when I was four. Then, my mom started calling me that after my brother was born, and it kind of just stuck. By the time I was in middle school, I asked everyone to call me that. My mom thought it was a phase that I would outgrow. Err, nope. Younger brother is not allowed to call me Marisa. He's tried a few times, and every time I've told him, "Um, that's Missy to you."

Professionally I do plan on being Marisa, but will ask coworkers and such to call me Missy like everyone else. If I do the CP, Missy will be on my nametag because I sometimes just plain don't respond to Marisa. Also, I don't like being called that. I've found that I'm more relaxed around people who call and refer to me as Missy. So...it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

I don't think people are aware of how annoying a name Marisa is, though. People always spell it wrong (Merissa, Marissa, Maryssa, Marrisa, and Marrissa are just some of the ways I've seen people try) and people can't pronounce it either. I don't mind people pronouncing it Mareesa, which is what my bestie's Italian relatives call me. But some people pronounce it like MRSA. Um, I am not a disease, thanks. Missy pretty much everyone can spell and pronounce.

I do believe I have let myself be talked out of Cuba ... by someone who owes me $5K; so I don't think her motives are entirely pure.

Yeah, yeah, I already admitted that it would be dumb to go away right now, when neither of us has worked in 6+ months .... But jeepers, it's hard to be lectured to by someone who owes me money.

just fyi @StarWarsGirl95 , I think you're giving way too much information of your family.

You've talked names, extended family, issues..etc..
Someone who might be a stalker might get enough information to do bad things.
I recommend you censor more.

How is Auntie doing? I can't remembering hearing how she responded to her DD email.

She hedged three or four times, but finally responded properly on Tuesday.
Probably was waiting until she could truthfully say that she was back to feeling lke herself - the infection is gone, her breathing is better, and the doctor there is weaning her off the steroids.
She admitted that her health had really scared her, but now she is feeling much better. She agreed that should any significant relapse occur, she will come home immediately.
And that's about the most you are going to get out of that stubborn 70 year old woman; doing God's work in a Third-World country, on a wing and a prayer.

There are circumstances. (Aren't there always?)
Depending how things go this spring, I'll probably end up forgiving it anyway.

At least once a year, I cancel any outstanding debts. I can't stand the pressure.
And then, I just ask God for more. And He gives it to me.

It's all good.

Well congratulations.

And I must have missed stage one of this story. Can I have a brief recap? Why? How long? The what fors?
I love travel stories, well minus my Sis' this week but generally.

To get away from Florida, seek new opportunities, travel, travel, travel, start something new...

I'm going for my dual citizenship and then returning to the USA after the first six months. I'm going to to spend five of the six months learning how to speak Hebrew five days a week/five hours a day. Travel on the weekends.

It's only $49 to fly to Millan from Tel Aviv, so that's how I plan on seeing Europe. I'll definaely go to Rome, Geneva, Paris (read: Disneyland Paris), London, Amsterdam, and maybe Spain.

I'm taking my cat. Hopefully, I'll be able to find a cat sitter when I'm away in Europe.
