Burpin’ Bubbles

Mom: You will NEVER believe what your father did last night!!!
Me: Oh Lord, did he fall off the ladder again?!?!
Mom: Hehe! No. He got drunk.
Me: Ok..?
Mom: He got so drunk, he ate a bar of soap.
Me: GROSS!!!
Mom: Yeah, no kidding. It was Irish Spring.
Me: Well is he ok?
Mom: Oh he’s just dandy. The only side effect is that he keeps burping and tasting it. Unfortunately, he’s not burping any bubbles, which is what I really want to see.
Me: Why?
Mom: I think it’d be cool to be married to a walking, talking bubble machine.
Me: You seriously need to redefine your definition of cool woman.
Mom: So do you want me to videotape it for you if it does happen?
Me: duh!

Keep an Eye on the Family Jewels

Backstory: My Mom likes to hide her jewelry in random places around the house that thieves are sure not to find… For many years she stuffed everything in a big picnic cooler.  I guess she needed a new spot.

Never, ever hide jewelry in the dryer, forget it is there, and turn it on.  Never!  That’s my life lesson for the day!

Michael Jackson Funeral: The Analysis

Backstory: My mom is secretly obsessed with Michael Jackson and also is fascinated by twitter but refuses to get one because she doesn’t know what she would tweet about.

Mom: I’m watching the Michelle Jackson memorial on tv. It’s very nice but also sad.

Me: oh I’m in class I can’t watch it

mom: Im sure they will replay it. I keep remembering the teenaged mj. He was so cute, but had so many issues.

Me: are the perormances good?

Mom: They have been very nice. Lionel richey and marìah carey were both near tears. I wasn.t sure if they could finish. It has had several songs about jesus.

Mom: His little girl just said he was the best daddy ever. Special on him tonight on abc. I wont bother you anymore.

Me: no I like your updates.

Mom: just like Twitter!

Send Her To Urban Dictionary

What’s Ridin’ Dirty? I want to know because maybe I do it every day.

Familial Restaurant Complaints

I know you’re his sister, but my word!I asked for water with lemon, got no lemon. Dad ordered the surf and turf thing, and i SWEAR he ate one of the shrimp before he brought it to the table. He even left the tail on the plate. Needless to say, he only got 15%.

Dad’s Away, Mom Will Play

Finally, it’s Friday and Dave went to NY state for a Harley rendezvous, so me and my pal Mikki are gonna have a few drinks. I’d like to invite Johnny Depp but I think he’s unavailable!

Why Mom Never Went Pro

When Tom was born he had to be under lights for several days. He looked like a movie star in sunglasses with a little black mask over his eyes. With you I pulled my hamstring muscle in my groin. I didn’t realize it until the next morning it was painful to scoot the few inches to swing my legs off the bed and stand up. When the intern came to see me- he was the doctor for the Peoria hockey team- he told me he saw that a lot in hockey players. My roommate said it had happened to her husband when he was playing baseball. I asked how long it would take to heal, she said “All I know is if you’re playing semi-pro, your career is over.” And that is why I never took up hockey or baseball.

music is my only companion noww!

Backstory: My mom’s office is located directly below my bedroom, and after listening to one of my showering mixes, she fell in love with the band “the rasmus” and has one of their songs up all the way. so, i’m sitting in my room, minding my own business, when all of a sudden…

mom: oh my goodness! i just went blind! nooo! music is my only companion noww!
me: you suck. a lot.
mom: love you too. :)

Happy Fourth of July! Bring Your Own Bail Money.

Backstory: Fireworks are illegal in Maryland where the party is being held, but that doesn’t stop Lloyd, my mom’s 50-something year old cousin, and his quite illegal holiday party.

Gma called this morning to say that we all (including your boyfriends) had been invited to Lloyd’s 4th of July party. I asked if she wanted to go and she said no, it was a bring your own bail money party.  he has tons of fireworks, is building a float to set them off from and a foot bridge over the cove.  It is being catered by a ribs place and another place is doing the salads.  So, if you want to come to MD to come to this party, y’all just let me know!

Dad Is Useful

Backstory: My mom wages epic war with various wild creatures attempting to eat everything in her garden (urine of larger/predatory animals apparently does repels smaller animals).

me: AGH BIG ANT
KILL IIIIIIT.
where’s dad when i need him???
mom: hey, I need him here to pee on the garden fence.

The World Needs My Outlook

We were talking to Lora after you last night and she said I should write a blog. I have decided that the world needs my outlook. So I’m going to. Like today we went to the bank with Oscar, we were there for two hours. As Dad said it’s pretty bad when you can say your accomplishment for the day is to almost open a bank account.

Stuff like that. I am now going to email Bob, I don’t know how to make a blog get on the internets. He will know how to do it, but be a pain in the ass about telling me how, and that I can’t write anything anybody would want to read. I’m sort of dreading this already. You don’t know how to make a blog be on the internets do you?

Early Fireworks from the “Doob Smokers”

June 30th, and we are officially under siege.  The Dead Architect’s Home, now inhabited by the “doob smokers” with lots of disposable income(?!) has had some great ones tonight.  A half stick and 30 seconds of really high, professional looking fireworks that probably cost $200. Dad and I gave them a thumbs up, a whoo-whoo and a whistle.  Hope they’ll save some for the 4th.

They’re at it again, so we’re heading back out to the porch.

Love you all,
Mom
XOXOXOXXO
