the Bossy Lady Committee


I come from what could be described as a typical Hispanic family. I had a piñata at every birthday party I ever had. My family makes tamales every year at Christmas-time. If someone's kid is turning one, you know the whole family will be at the party and there will be more people in attendance than gifts for the birthday babe. I have more first cousins than I can count.

It's this last fact that leads me to think I must be crazy. One of my cousins got it into her head that we should take a picture with ALL of the cousins to give to my grandma. Then she posted on Facebook that we need to get a committee of 3-5 of us. And I VOLUNTEERED! Yes, I wasn't even recruited. I volunteered! (Funny aside: All of the cousins who volunteered for the committee are first born daughters… AKA bossy ladies.)

I have a cousin in the Navy, a few in jail, and one that lives in another state. I have NO idea how we are gonna get this together, but it looks like its gonna be an adventure.
