I can see that you have been outbid on a Lacoste Jacket, and have a bid in for a slim skinny jumper.

Jerry Lewis, Fleas.

The Wedding videos are great.  Dad enjoyed watching his monolog - he said he didn’t realize he looked so much like Jerry Lewis.
Dad gave the dog a bath - said he didn’t see any fleas, but I used the flea stuff this morning.  The reason the spray didn’t work is because it’s for cats - [...]

No washing machine and no clean underwear can really send a girl over the edge. I hope by now you are in [...]

I know it is trivial but the Register has not had Dear Abby for about 3 weeks.  Do you know why?

We had a lot of wine. I think it was fine.

Backstory: Mom decided it was time to tell Aunt Annie I was gay, and in a relationship. Alcoholism ensued.
Me: So how was your vacation?
Mom: It was great! We took a tour of Pike Place Market (fun!) and the botanical gardens or something (snooze) and something else that I don’t remember. I told Aunt Annie about [...]

Mom’s Amazing Plan

OMG…This really could be a win…win situation.  Go and see that house across the street from your sister.  If the downstairs is private enough for you (and me)…I could move into the downstairs and you & family upstairs.  I could give you $50,000.00+ and pay you rent and you could pay me for babysitting…which would [...]

Dam(n) Tour

We enjoyed the Dam tour. It was damn interesting.  OOOPS! That was a curse word.  The history was fascinating.  Then we went to Vegas.  What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.  Let’s see, we arrived at our non-casino hotel in the afternoon.   Daddy returned the rental car.  We walked to Applebee’s and had dinner.  It [...]

Time For An ITYS

Your room looks nice - make sure you check the heating unit doesn’t get blocked by the sheets. Your bed looks good higher, what’s under it?
Dad says you wish you had a rug. Hmmm, time for an ITYS*.

Mom
*Mom lingo for I told you so.
