BACK!

Hello again. Writing currently from Vancouver, Canada, one of my favorite places on earth. This is how my 8 hour train ride from Washington to Canada was.
Oh wait - first I would like to talk about how poshitively (no that is not a made up word) inappropriate my grandfather is. First of all, having him drive you is like a roller coaster already. You start out by thinking of what you think your most powerful last words should be. Mine were BE SUPER POSH. I WAS. Also, you start to think it's not so bad, just the only problem is that your head is all nonstop headachey from all of the smoke because he's smoking. Our first stop is.... the cigarette store!!! At first all of this kind of intimidated me but after a while I was just laughing. He was constantly giving me money, and I lived on Coffee and doughnuts for breakie fast. Our arrival was met with him asking my uncle to clean his toenails - actually demanding. (see video down below i think) Mixed with the show The View, which he adores. I got used to hearing a bad word for every sentence and hearing that his heaven is right now, where both his sons are working for free, and that he loves having his grandchildren act crazy. When I left he gave me 20 dollars and told me to stop begging my parents for candy money and to use this instead. I adore him. Also, I hung out with my completely adorable cousins, who I will call MG and AO. They are purely insane but the cutest things I have seen ever. OA+MG = POSH POSH POSH. I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM. See a video of them later.I kept asking their mom, or my sort of aunt, if I could take them home and see them in the dog crate. At one point, because they kept attacking my charming brother, My brother stood up after they had been hurling themselves at him and standing on his face and jogging, and MG actually hung on to his face and refused to let go. I love them.
I kept on asking every single person on the train "are you Canadian?" If they said yes, I would show them my Canada dance and give them high fives and told them they ruled. Face it, Canadians rule. If they said no, I would say "oh." because what else is there to say? (see my Canada dance below I think). I also watched bounty hunter and a bit of the clash of the titans on the TV at the ceiling - four dollars for the earphones. I was met by some of the Poshest people on earth. My grandmother who we call Couch, and her partner Larry. It was a very happy posh car ride back as we chattered away.
The next morning, I woke up to see blue berries as big as my big toe. They were hand picked and one of the POSHEST things I have ever tasted. Ever. AMAZING.I helped Couch water her plants and then my aunt, Popsicle, who rocks, came over. Couch had gotten my mom, Popsicle, herself, and I all beautiful matching bracelets that have brown twine with silver beads. I am wearing mine right now. Then we had to go because we had to go to my grandpa, Zeyda's house to see him and his partner Norma. Norma has two super fun grandkids that my brother and I really get along with. For a while, we played with them in the pool then we went upstairs to eat. My aunt was also there. We played botchy ball in the cool park, and then we had to go.
The next day, yesterday, we (meaning Couch, Larry, btw we are staying at their house, and my family) went for a beautiful hike with tidepools filled with tiny crabs we could pick up. Yipee! Then, we had to go back home and make dinner for Zeyda, Norma, Popsicle, and her partner, TickleMan. Couch and I had been secretly planning a cake and some treats, but we weren't sure if Zeyda had given it away since he handed her a present. The cake was delish. Posh.
I must go now so soon I will write about what I did today.\

WELCOME

Welcome to the home of Miss Totally Posh goes on vacation. Today is day one of my fabulous Amtrak vacation – we are taking it all the way up to Vancouver, Canada! YIPEE! In your brain filled heads (mixed with flesh and other stuff), “Why is this insane girl taking Amtrak?” Well, you have a good reason to wonder that – first of all, I am insane, but here’s one of the lessons you will learn if you continue reading this blog, and will probably need to use in life:

INSANE = POSH, and POSH = INSANE. Remember that. There will also be a few more equations like that, and you will have to remember them in case of any surprise Pop Quizzes.

The second thing is, you have good reason to wonder why I would spend 30 hours with my family just going to Washington. Well, it’s because of something recent that happened: that made us re-plan our whole road trip we were planning on taking this summer. My family is the kind of family, (at least I hope and have been recently thinking) who does things about things when they don’t like an event that recently happened. Thus, when we found out about the Bp oil spill, we were FURIOUS. The kind of furious that caused my mom to be pacing at 4 in the morning. But an issue I’ve already had is when people say they don’t like a recent event but they still do the same thing – or support it without Iwanting to, but “having to”. So that was in issue we had to face when we realized we were going on a vacation – a road trip, actually, all the way to Canada. Let me just show you another equation super fast: BP=UNPOSH.

That is why I am on Amtrak – one family member short, my dog, Pilar. Sadly, we had to leave my dearest sister (and only sister, if you can call her that) behind. I will say that I wanted to act like a blind girl and she would be my helper dog, but my mom pointed out that it wouldn’t work if we had a scared dog on the train. Pilar we recently adopted, and was abused as a puppy. It was very hard to leave her.

So. Here is a brief idea of where we are going. Tonight we are on the train spending the night on reclining chairs, which are actually very comfy, and recliny. Tomorrow my dad’s half brother, Dave’s wife, Misty, is picking us up in Washington and we are going to spend the night at my grandpa’s ranch, who we haven’t seen for quite a while. We are spending 2 and1/2 days or so there, then going back onto Amtrak for 8 hours and arriving at one of my fave places on earth, Vancouver Canada. During that time we may be going to Saltspring island, to see my mom’s aunt and uncle. It’s a very beautiful island. We are spending two weeks there, then going to either Seattle or to San Francisco, then to Santa Cruz, then to L.A., then back to my hometown.

So, here we are. The answers to your mind’s questions. If you want a more sane, logical explanation, go to slowvacation.blogspot.com, my mom’s blog that I helped her set up. Thank you! One more thing – here’s my theme song.

She’s the girl to go to when you need to find some grub,

She’ll show you how to sneak into your neighbor’s hot tub,

And when you need your sushi fixed she’s even more scrumptious than a California roooooll…

TOTALLY POSH! Ding!
