Favorite Cousin

Posted by Chris | Filed under Family

Almost since we’ve been married, my wife and I have been sparring over our (Jen’s cousin, my cousin-in-law) Melanie. She is a high-powered exec in Beverly Hills who is one of the funnest relatives we have (her mom is right up there with her, too).

It all started when I built her company’s website. Apparently, Jen and Mel have had this Italian, sisterhood kick-thing going for a while. But after I built the website, Jen was uprooted as the coveted “Favorite Cousin.” From that point on, we have been duking it out to see who can win the heart of this person who lives 2 time zones away.

Honestly, I’d have to say that I have the upper-hand - and as soon as Mel reads this, she’ll come back and say that I don’t b/c she has to keep my ego in check (at least that is what she says). Every time Jen comes up with something clever (and she always does), I just throw down the trump card - geek skills. I’m usually updating her site or getting pictures to show up correctly or hooking video cameras up to TVs.

Anyway, she’s been razzing me about getting her on this site (see comments under the “Family” category), so I obliged. Even though I won back the crown of “Favorite” no more than 5 minutes ago for updating her website, I figured I could give her the dubious honor of appearing on the ever-popular SolidRoots.com. So here’s to you, Melanie. Welcome to the SR club.

And to me, for securing the crown even further.

    Chris - MY FAVORITE COUSIN OF ALL!!!!!! What can I say? I feel so important now! Thanks for thinking of me!!! I have been bought! Sorry Jen ol’ Pal. 100 points go to Chris the Web-Master, for his quick response time, 100 for his web-skills and another 100 for his thoughtfulness. And…he even spell-checked (which is against his religion)…another 20 for that.

    With great appreciation,

    Mel
    AKA “Favorite Cuz”
