The Same Life

Cindy has the EXACT same sewing machine as me (you) and we can borrow it no problem so bring home the bobbins you have and we’re all set. How funny is that? She has the exact same sewing machine as I do, she and I both went to two year colleges to become legal secretaries, and she and her husband were married on the exact day I was (the first time) - we were living the same life in the late 70’s I guess!

Multiple Choice

I’ve continued to think about our conversation last night and want more answers…..because I am your MOM and want to know! So the likelyhood of ever getting back together again is:
5) Never
4) I would consider it
3) She would consider it
2) Both of us would consider it at sometime in the future
1) I am just to stubborn to consider the possibility and unwilling to take a chance.
Think about the response.

Jessica Simpson’s Salad

Hi Punkin,

I heard this yesterday on the radio that she eats this everyday while she is trying to loose weight.

2 chopped Asian pears
10 sliced strawberries
1 cup of grilled chicken breast cut into strips
10 romaine lettuce leaves, chopped
small handful of croutons

Mix them with a dressing made up of 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 egg yolk & 1 tsp dijon mustard, with salt & pepper to taste.

Sounds good except for the egg yolk. I think I will make this without the egg yolk.

If you want to try I will get you olive oil, balsamic vegar and dijon mustard. The rest you would need to get. I could buy you croutons.
I think it would be kinda fun to make my own croutons. What do u think?

LOVE U,
Mom

This soccer practice is for you, Mom.

My heart is warmed! Thank you sweetie pie—honeybunny! I’m not going to hit reply all.

Love,

Mom

grandpa’s wisdom tooth

Today is grandma and grandpa’s 64th wedding anniversary. Please call them to wish them a happy anniversary. The phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. I sent them flowers from all of us. I took grandpa to the dentist today to have his wisdom tooth extracted, I just came home–please call him! ( I didn’t know that grandpa had any teeth because he wears dentures, but he just had one tooth left in his mouth and that came out today–call him to cheer him up!

Love,
Mom

The Rule

Sweeheart-

Remember the rule.  Don’t bring home anything you can’t wash off.  That should cover it.

Mom

Mother's Day plans

Hosay!!   So, just spoke to Dad and here’s what we thought of — If you like it, I’d love to have steamed lobster!! They steam them at Fairway and we can pick them up after the gym. Before the gym, you can buy and make salad, and whatever we eat — dad suggested potatoes and corn.  
 
So if we do that, you can come late afternoon, help prepare dinner, and go to the gym with me at 5 for 2 hours!! You’d love the pool  so bring a bathing suit. You don’t have to join the exercise class if you don’t want and just swim or go in the warm training pool.  Then we’ll pick up the hot lobsters and pig out!! If you don’t like lobster, I can get you shrimp or something else.  Whaddya think!!

Oh, he's a catch!!!

i get to go home in a minute or three.  Hooooooray!  It’s kind of cold today but this weekend is suppose to be warm, warm, warm!  How was class?  And what are you doing now?  Huh? Huh? Huh?  What cha doin’ ????????? I hope spending time with that handsome boy from your floor that we met!! Oh, he’s a catch!!!

I think love is in the air!

BLINGY

  • me:
    hi ma

  • mom:
    hi honey

  • me:
    whats shakin?

  • mom:
    I am so excited. I ordered a ring with man-made diamonds, since who knows when I will get a ring made with the loose diamonds I bought. It is made in a gold vermeil setting which feels like plastic but it is appropriately BLINGY and I LOVE IT. I look like such a rich lady with my big rocks!!!!!!!!!! I think it is just the bling that I want, not so much how the diamond is made

  • me:
    hahaha, well I am glad you will be appropriately blinged-out

beautiful gold plush curtains

I have just boxed up some beautiful gold plush curtains for your new residence from Grandma’s living room!  There is a large pair for a large window, and a set of smaller ones for a smaller window!  You won’t have to buy any now.
 
And, I forgot.  There is a valence for both sets, and tie backs also.  They all have gold fringe too.  Perfect for a modern residence.

wealthy!

your check for $13 arrived.
When I deposit it, you will be wealthy!

I love you,
moi,
your mom

RICE

Yesterday on the bus I saw this old Asian guy with 2(((25 lb.) bags of rice.  You know how many asians shop at costco, too.  So many of them come from countries where there have been famines, they are probably really panicking right now……..
You know that the price of wheat and corn has doubled, and rice more than that…a 75% increase.  They say its because so much is being used in biofuels.  What I find scariest here is that our midwestern underground aquifers (once thought infinite) are already dry and have been…this fact from  Diet for a New America (that film is about 20 years old, no?)…from beef production, you remember, growing all that grain to feed beef cattle……

mother's day

Hi Everyone

If you thinking of getting me anything for mother’s day, here’s some idea on what to get. I’d love these new album “The swing session” by David Campbell, he’s an Australian, or “Believe” by Geoff Sewell, a Kiwi and he sings with Amici Forever (pop opera group). I think this is his first solo album but don’t quote me on that..

Love to all
Mum

SMAHHHHHHHHT!!!!

  • mom:
    How can I re-word the “then and only then”???????? I'm stuck.

  • me:
    You could just say “only then” , I think that would be fine.

  • mom:
    You're so SMAHHHHHHT!!!!!

wedding

Hi Son,

We already sent the response card to your uncle but try calling him or Amy and try asking if you could bring a friend to the wedding. You are about the same age and you played with her while you were kids.

For your second question, we usually just let them figure it out. Just wear a appropriate outfit and I like your hair shorter like last time. Being gay i genetic, maybe Dad’s side, and we will always love you and we are very proud of you. We are just glad that God gave us two wonderful children.

Love,
Dad and Mom
