Dreaming of Armpit Hair and Hearing From You

Hi there ….

I thought you might appreciate this dream I had last night …. I dreamt that my armpit hair was all the way down my sides and it was black. Isn’t that sick?? ewwww I don’t know why I dreamed that.

Ok … well I hope you had a good night. Did you happen to mention to M about P’s ring? Just wondering.

We can look for vacuums later this week. Will you go with me to Eastern Market Saturday morning to buy flowers? Remember I’m making cupcakes for you!!!!!

Well your never online anymore for me to talk to you and you never answer my texts.

Love,

Mom (De) but you can call me MOM

Tight T-Shirt TMI

Word of advice – the T-shirts (particularly the womens) run *very small* — when I put mine on, Daddy was thrilled but I would never go out in it! I know, TMI….

Mom’s Virtual Farm Addiction

Backstory: My mom has become addicted to the Facebook application Farmtown.

Mom: R U home today? Can you get on farmtown?
Me: I’m at the office today … sorry :(
Mom: OK I’ll plant some grapes to harvest tonight. I’ve got my personal laptop hooked in to the guest network and can get to it so I’m playing
Me: You’re like an alchy looking for their last drink
Mom: Yep and ur one to talk…little miss “text me when you get online” :)
Me: It’s a hard life as a virtual farmer I tell you what

Spanx Reconstruction

I wanted to give you your laugh for the day….this a.m. I grabbed a pair of more “control” type undies to throw on under my capris. I was much distressed to find that the blasted things came way up the middle of my back! So, I took them off and started chopping them apart with my scissors! It was hysterical. I kept thinking of mom’s old saying “make sure you don’t wear holey underwear when you go out for fear of an accident.” Crap, heaven forbid if someone saw me in them as they’d think I lost my mind!:>0 Guess among other things, we need to start designing underwear for real women!!! Considering that almost all pants are low cut, why they can’t make low slung control panties I haven’t a clue.

Aunt and Uncle of Wiccans

Backstory: My parents have been helping my elderly grandma move in with my aunt. My aunt is a super-conservative Christian who thinks Halloween is devil worship, by the way…

Your dad and I are coming home tonight! We wanted to skip rush hour. But we couldn’t wait another day. So when we come home at like 3 AM and the dogs make a big commotion, don’t worry, the house isn’t getting robbed. Guess what? Your cousin *** and her partner *** are WICCANS! She wanted to tell your aunt, but I told her not to do that right now, since your aunt is under a lot of stress taking care of Grandma. So, the aunt-of-Wiccans and uncle-of-Wiccans will be home late tonight! Wiccans forever! See you tomorrow! Love you!

No Mustaches For You!

Mom: I just spent $2 on 12 fake mustaches

Me: WTF?

Mom: I saw the ad and told J and he wanted me to get them so could wear them at work hahaha

Me: you’re retarded

Mom: keep talking like that and you’re not getting one of them

Dead Girl Spam

Backstory: My mom is a really smart lady (she has a masters in mathematics!) but she’s so dumb when it comes to chain emails and texts.

mom: Did you send me that horrible text about the dead person haunting me at my bedside?

me: what??

mom: I got this text from a “dead” girl who was stabbed 20 times by her father and if I don’t help her find her father (so she can haunt him) she will stand at my bedside every night and haunt me.

me: it was probably spam
delete it

mom: I’m going to call back the number first to see who it was (from another number).
Buddah had a deer tick on his face yesterday – I got it off.

Jump Rope Conundrum

Hi Honey,
Jumping rope is something I could try to do again. I used to pee when I did it but now that I’m getting older, it might be worse or better in that department. I’m not sure. Just have to find a spot in which to do it where no one will be watching and I’ll have room. I guess the garage is the only answer. hahaha

Everything’s Over the Counter in Europe!

Backstory: My mom has been traveling (aka eating and drinking her way) around Europe with her boyfriend, and this was the last entry on her travel blog.

PS Did you know you can buy Botox over the counter here? Wonder if the syringes would set off any alarms at the airport? Now if they just had a home kit for liposuction. I would really be in business!

For Meat, Not For Anything Kinky

hey honey,

How was your first “official” work day? Oh forgot to say the disposable rubber gloves I put in your bag are for you too use if you are cutting up raw meat..not for anything kinky!!

Please let us know when you are going to Miami and where you are staying.

Thanks & Love xxxxxxxxxxx

Why Mom Got Defriended

i loved your pictures of philly and your commentary..too bad I couldnt comment cause Im not your friend :( and that Kevin is so cute! why does he have to be gay? can you ask him for me?
Love, your mommy

How to Not be Bored in Church

I discovered a mindless new game today you might want to try during a boring Mass. I was looking at the book on the altar and noticing that there are tons of words you can make out of the letters in “SACRAMENTARY.” So, here the rules, words must have at least 4 letters, cannot use a plural of the same word but you can use a plural of a 3 letter word (like “car”) to make it 4 letters. See how you do! Love, Mom

Parents Just Don’t Understand

We wanted to let you know about a program that Postcards From Yo Momma is really excited to be a part of. Current TV’s From Your Lips: Parents Just Don’t Understand, airing Monday, June 1, 11:30pm EST/8:30pm PST, will explore our generation’s relationships with our parents through the lens of viewer-created content.

Our generation interacts with our parents in ways that generations in the past never have. We are more likely the children of divorced parents; we seem to communicate more often in large part due to new technologies; we cut the cord later in life; and we talk to them more like friends than authority figures. Still, we experience difficulty dealing with cultural traditions that may fly in the face of these new trends, and struggle with how we may want to raise our own children.

In this episode of From Your Lips, viewers meet Jaratt, who struggles with the fact that his dad has “friends with benefits;” Jordi, who goes on a road trip with her mom; and a young filmmaker who makes a movie about a young man moving back in with his folks, starring his folks. Along the way you’ll hear from experts on the subject, hear what kind of advice your parents have given you, and see what modern-day postcards from your mother sound like, courtesy of Postcards From Yo Momma.

Tune in on Monday, June 1, 11:30pm EST/8:30pm PST, on DirecTV (358), Comcast Nationwide (107); Dish Network (196); Time Warner Nationwide (check your local listings); AT&T U-verse (189).

No more bat rehab.

After I spoke to you I checked on Barry. No bat in the mixing bowl. So we took the bedroom apart. Sheets, bedspread, magazines, drawers, pulled apart the mattress. No bat. Bob thought he crawled into one of the many holes in the floor to die. I was okay with that, I was sad but it was cool he was dead. About nine p.m., we were watching a movie on TV, everything is dark, and the bat starts flying around the room past our heads. AAAAAGGG! So I ran in the bedroom, slammed the door and Bob caught Barry with a fishing net and tossed him outside. What an experience! No more bat rehabilitation. Ever.

Frozen Baby FYI

mom: If you see a frozen baby, don’t give up. Because babies can stay frozen for a very long time.
me: I really hope you don’t know this from experience. Because right now I am seriously questioning your child rearing skills.
mom: no, I was just watching Frozen River and I remembered reading that somewhere. don’t give up!

How many “F” words did you use?

Hi Pumpkin,

Aunt Phyl called me last night. She & Uncle Randy were in Lebanon cleaning out Helen’s place. Aunt Phyl wanted to know if you want any of the following:

Cup cake tin(s)
Casserole dishes with lids
Pie plates
Deviled egg plate
Stainless steel sandwich maker
Rectangular glass cake pan with lid, and canvas carry holder. You can carry hot or cold items in it.
Cake pans

How many “F” words did you use during the Red Sox game? So sorry to hear they lost.

Daddy told me to tell you he said hi and hope you’re not in jail.

Love,
Mom

Grey’s Anatomy Blues

Backstory: My mother and I had confessed to each other the wee before that we both watch Grey’s Anatomy.

I did not raise you to watch soap operas and get all sappy about their pseudo feelings. Don’t blame me. However, they certainly can hit some nerves. I never have gotten over high school. M

Kitchen Kapers

Okay, so I’m standing in front of the counter here where we keep the coffee pot, fridge and microwave, warming up some coffee and eating some cherries, and a cherry pit drops out of my mouth, onto the floor, in between the wall and the fridge. There’s not enough room for me to stick my hand in there to get it, so I go get my ruler. I stick the ruler down there and I’m swatting around the pit disappears under the fridge. So, I start thinking gee,it might attract bugs, so I get down on the floor on my stomach with the ruler, and I let out this huge fart, and I burst out laughing and spit all over the wall, and I never did find the pit.

Mom vs. the Vacuum, Round 1

Ali asked us over for a BBQ on Monday at 1. Will you be coming?
Also do you want me to go with you to taste the cakes tomorrow? I didn’t know if you would be deciding and needing to pay a deposit or what.

Walmart only had ink jet labels.

Did the invitations come? How do they look?

I was just vacuuming the basement stairs and the vacuum fell down the stairs and hit me in the head.

Love,
Mom (I think) I’m a little confused. I’m not sure how much momentum the vacuum cleaner had going but it was a pretty good hit.

Mom, Urine Detective

I just got back from Wal-Mart and was nice and bought a new scratcher that you hang on the door knob. Shorty went after it while it was still in the bag so I took it out, filled it properly with the catnip and then gave it to him on the floor where he was having a rolling, scratching fun time. I walked away and came back to find the scratcher covered with pee and pee all around it on the floor and no Shorty. Question – did he pee on it so the other cats wouldn’t use it, did he pee accidentally (so excited it just came out), or is he sick again? Looks like I have to take the cat that you and Dad love so much to the vet. It doesn’t seem right, now does it?



Love, Mom
