Crystal: "Surely you not talking to me? I don 't plan on straying."

Shawyna: "Really Crystal? Are you throwing shade?"
Crystal: "Yup!"
Cara: "I didn't mention any names. I said WE."

Shawyna: "What exactly does Mom want us to pick up?"
Crystal: "Aunt Ann told me to check all the clearance sections first and then the sales."
Shawyna: "Sounds about right."
Cara: "She said to look for really cute items. She just said to  make sure it relates to the theme."

Crystal: "What is the theme for this year's Christmas giveaway?"

Shawyna: "Yeah, what is it? She was still tossing around themes the last time I talked to her."

Cara: "Come to think of it, she didn't say. She just said to select the best and stay within budget. Anyway we have Dad's charge card so it doesn't matter."

Crystal: "Oh, I need to stop in the bookstore. I want to see if Highlights have any new magazines outs for the twins. I'll meet you two at Macy's."

Cara: "What?!? DIY section?"

Shawyna: "Yes, Chica. You are not the only one that's creative."
Cara: "Really, is that your final answer."

Crystal: "Ooo, what are you going to make?"

2 hours later....

Cara: "You just had to go in Nordstrom."
Crystal: "Yeah Cousin, your busted."
Shawnya: "Hey, your look over and my look over and just different. The shoe department is my weakness. I feel in love with so many pairs, it was hard to look away, not touch them... ."

Crystal: "Oh check it out."

Shawyna: "The Pumpkin Spice coffee is back?

Cara: "Does it really make a difference? Do the walls and call it a day."

Ann: "The curtain will determine if I want to tile or not. C'mon girl, you know how I do. I'm just ready to finish my kitchen. Oh well never loss sleep over something you can't control."

 

 

Cara: "These are gorgeous. What is this for? You been doing a lot of sewing lately. I hope I get a outfit or two."

Cara: "Well Ms. Tressy is going to love this material. It so pretty. What else have you been sewing? Who is this pillow and blanket for?

Ann: "That's Kelly sleeping bag and pillow. I was finishing up when you walked in the door.  You know when I am by myself I create." 

 

 

Cara: "Well it is very cute. Why don't I let Beauty back in and we go to lunch. Anywhere you want to go, it my treat."

RIIIINNNNGGGG, RIIINNNGGGG.

 

Crystal: "Hey couz, what's going on? I'm just finishing up on the last minute changes for the DNC party. Due to the weather we had to move to the Charlotte Convention Center. I spoke with Kayla and she said they are holding it down in Charlotte, snipers and all."

Cara: "She is on duty until Saturday. I decided to blow some things off. My brain has had enough. So now it time to do something else. You know refresh my brain.. I'm going to pick up Stacie this weekend. If you are not busy we should get together."

Diamond: "Hi Cara!!!"
Crystal: "That sounds like a plan. The kids should be back by then and they would love to see their cousins too. Girl, I dropped them off at my mother-in-laws. Me and Diamond have been to busy the past few weeks. I had both the press and the delegates luncheons to cater. Diamond is truly a gem, she has been wonderful being my assistant."

Diamond: "Thanks Mom, I love working with you."
Crystal: How is Aunt Ann and Uncle Nate doing?"

Cara: "Don't even get me started! They are off on the motorcycle hitting the open road."
Crystal: "Heee, heee. Now that's funny. They know they got it going on!"
Cara: "Yes she do! My mother was rushing and counting down whatever that was about. My father on the other hand had the nerve to hang up on me."

Crystal: HAA, HAHAHAH!. I can just see your face!. HAHAHAAA!"
Cara: "Not funny, girl. Hold on for a minute Stacie calling."
Crystal: Hee, heee ok, ok. HAHAHAHAA."

Cara: "Hello Stacie, what's up?" I was just talking about you."

Stacie: "Hi Aunt Cara! Can I come over!. I'm at Mrs. Clark's house."
Cara: "How about this. I'll call you mother and tell her that I'm going to pick you up this weekend and we can go hang out with Crystal."
Stacie: "Ooh, that sounds like fun. I can see  my cousins!! I like playing with the twins!"
Cara: "Ok, that's what we will do. I'm talking to cousin Crystal now. I will call your mother when I get done."
Stacie: "OK! Thanks Aunt Cara. I can't wait! I love you, bye."
Cara: "Bye Sweetie. Sorry about that Crystal."

Crystal: "Is she ok?"
Cara: "Yes she is fine. Stacie is just like her grandmother. She is always making plans. I won't keep you any longer. I'll give you a call later this week."
Crystal: "Ok, talk with you later."

Diamond: "Hey Mom, got everything loaded in the car. Did you introduce yourself to our friends."
Crystal: "No honey I didn't. I was too busy thinking about Uncle Nate handing up on Cara. She talks about Stacie being like grandmother but she is just like her father!"
Diamond.: "Yes she is. Mom please say hi so we can get going. I'm hoping to see Chad at the convention. He said he would be one of the servers if we needed him."
Crystal: "Hmm, you sound like your in love with Chad!"

Diamond: "Mom!, take care of the business at hand, please."
Crystal: "Don't leave now, please share the details. Hee, he."

Crystal: "Hello everyone and nice to meet you. As  you can see I just love my daughter Diamond who you already met."
Diamond: "They met the twins too!"
Crystal: "Really?, wow I've been busy! Anyway I am the original Crystal Barbie but on a articulate body. I wore a metallic ball gown. It had a square neckline and spaghetti straps. The bodice was fitted and it had a full ruffle skirt with ruffled netting. It included a ruffle stole that matched the dress. I wore crystal ring and dropped earring as well as a pendant necklace and sparkling shoes. My accessories included a comb, brush and necklace for a child to wear. It was nice to meet you."
