Backstory: My mom is dying for my younger brother, a very low maintenance jock type who has had a buzz cut for the last 10 years,  to meet a nice girl. She has several theories as to why he is still single. This is a new one.

I know he has a friend’s wedding coming up. Maybe he will meet someone there. I hope he does.  That’s a great place to do it.  Not trying to pick on him, but any idea why he doesn’t let his hair grow longer?  He has such beautiful hair.  If he is concerned about how to wear it, he could go to a salon and have it styled.  Just a thought.

Backstory: I live in the city and come home to the suburbs for Christmas. I did all of my Christmas shopping online and shipped it to my parent’s house. I got a beaded jewelry set for my little cousin…

i get home last night and you had a card on the table to pick up a package from the post office, signature required… so I say “hmmmm she probably needs this for X-Mas soooo I’ll be a good Momma and pick it up”
I reviewed the “from” area on the receipt… it was hand written in chicken scratch from “My happy place” and I said holy crap maybe I shouldn’t pick this up!!! I really don’t want  to lnow about your happy place….
But once I did get it this morning (after announcing that this was NOT  MY PACKAGE in the post office) it was from  “My Hobby Place”……hehehhe boy did I feel better.
Love ya Momma

Backstory: My grandmother is French and started writing and self-publishing books in her 70s. She sent this to all of her children and grandchildren.

I am thinking of writing a new book, Called “The stories I forgot to tell” it would consist of the true stories with you kids over the years. Like when Joanie beat the shit out of that bratty boy in Miami, or when Jay helped me to find out who had thrown all the stones in our house windows in Burlington, so if you have any that you’d like me to include that I might have forgotten- please let me know OK! love you guys, xoxox ma

I am not sure what a blue ray player is, but cool!  Also Loved the pictures though I was getting sick and dizzy from the wall paper moving.. Darling pictures of you when you weren’t sticking your tongue out at the camera -(unladylike) LOL!!!  Cute poses!  Loved your black stockings and painted nails! Andrew was a riot!!!! ALot of guests there!  Cool dude !

Backstory: I emailed my mom a book suggestion: “How to Sew a Button and Other Nifty Things Your Grandmother Knew”.

Why don’t I just write one myself?  All I’ve experienced as a grandmother.  I’ll look through my nightly journals, even though some of them ramble because of the Ambien.  Well, that could be a nifty tip right there. If you wake up in the morning with a spoon of peanut butter stuck to your face, you should not be taking Ambien.  See?

Dad and I know how to have some fun-we went to TeeJays for dinner and then went to Lowes to buy a newTOILET! HA ha!

Backstory: N is my new brother-in-law

N. is telling me tomorrow is their 6 month anniversary
I said that is traditionally “styrofoam”

Backstory: I had recently taken up with a hockey player missing a tooth.

tomorrow walking with your bagel to the office you  bump into a regular enough guy with teeth, but you are not paying attention
as you are thinking about the day ahead of you, when you bump into him it is the cream cheese side of your bagel that hits him first – he is shocked – he stares at his suit, then into your doe-like brown eyes and asks if he can buy you a new bagel….
