If I'd been an only child I think I could have been absorbed into another family instead of being seen as this huge problem requiring a fat smoker to watch over and scream at me.
Sisters ruin everything. They probably feel that way about me though.
Danielle and Alex are at Craig's for what feels like a really long time, even though they're only a train ride away. Al won't have to sleep alone which made it easier this time. While she is gone I am cleaning out her magazines and old stuff she's storing.
Alex will cry when she gets home but she almost never looks at them after the first time and we are one dropped match away from burning to death among pictures of clothes we'll never be able to afford. So I kind of have no sympathy.
But I'm kind of looking through every single one before I throw it out, because it's fun, and what if I did have a really cute plaid bikini from Banana Republic, complete with matching jewelry and a coverup fancier than the t-shirt I usually wear to bed?

you three are the most amazing sisters i know, sticking together like glue as you are.
i can imagine that sometimes you wish you didn't have to consider them with everything you plan or do. but i think you also know how lucky you are to have each other.
cleaning out is always a great way to make things look more positive. it gives you room for new thoughts. and dreaming about stuff we can't afford ... we all do it. i think sometimes it's better to dream about the stuff than to actually have it. i know i wouldn't be any happier if i had that new pair of gap jeans. well, for a few hours maybe. but i need to fill my fridge, so that's out. but dreaming is nice.
You are smart and driven and come from a smart and driven mom, Sam. I wouldn't say "never be able to afford". You'll have the means of getting what you need as an adult,
I believe.
